My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • Yep, I actually Googled the definition of masochism this morning. Why? Because, I wonder if my subconscious is really masochistic…. 😐 I feel as if the darkness is winning these days. It is the season of being thankful, thinking about presents and the coming family-time, looking forward to the new year on the horizon with all that it promises. To do this, I have to reflect over the year…. Things I am Thankful…

  • So yesterday I wrote about my lack of certainty mostly regarding what I am doing with my life. As I spent most of the day on my own and processing my thoughts – fighting with the dark and light in my head – I came to some new realizations. Let me share a few. *I am not accustomed to things being difficult in life or my career. For the first time, I have…

  • Sometimes when I take the time to share what is going on in my life or when I stop to think about it, I can see why people say to me, “I do not know how you do it.” Most of the time I never think about the how or even the why. I just do it. Overall, life is good – really. However, as I finished up my last yoga teacher training…

  • As I said yesterday, the weather has started to become amazing again. Now, we have about five months of perfect temperatures. Our running group went a different direction around the Corniche this week toward the National Theatre. We got a couple of nice pics from that.

  • This morning I felt a cool breeze as we were waiting for our morning walk/run. It was such a nice feeling and a relief given the seemingly lingering heat this year – although I’m sure that is not the case. 🙂 One of the events that we do every year as a bit of a kick-off of the cooling weather is Taste of Abu Dhabi. We always have a good time with friends…

  • Well, last week I was rather tired. While I do believe it was due to recovering from travel and yoga as I wrote about, I also think there was a lot going on. All that goings-on contributed to catching whatever bug M brought home from work. So, most of the weekend was spent feeling sick and tired with sneezing bouts, stuffed up noses, scratchy throats and coughs. After a bit of sleep, I…

  • Well, it has been announced officially – President Trump – will lead our country for the next four years. WTH???? When he announced his candidacy, I honestly thought it was a joke. It appeared that all throughout his campaign, he felt the same. No one that I know ever imagined that it would ever become a reality that he would step into the White House. Yet, today, the democratic process has proven that…

  • In light of the soon to be barrage of news reports on today’s election results, I thought I would write a little post about words. It is a title and topic that came to mind a while back, but I had not quite decided what to say. In considering the past 18 months of campaigning by our two party leaders it is an interesting matter – how words are used. The United States is…

  • As the weather is cooling down now in the UAE, more and more activities are happening outside. I have written before about my running group I joined filled mostly with moms, but they accept this non-child lady. 😉 Anyway, a while back one of them asked me why I do not sign up for a 5k or 10k run now that more and more of them are coming up here and in other…

  • It is always amazing to me how long it takes to recover from busyness, travel or any upset to a routine. I often wonder if it is an age thing or if it is perhaps more of a statement on the toll of having structure; in other words, perhaps life should really be a bit more carefree if it is such a struggle to get back ‘on a schedule’? For someone like me,…
