Retreating
When the sun and moon align, people gather together to view the phenomenon with the promise of each time being the ~est in our lifetimes. Yet, it is this equilibrium and balance that awes us and, despite all the fanfare and build up, lasts mere moments. Our life experiences are similar. Though we do not…

Purpose
Sunny days in Japan means that it’s a laundry day. One can see clothes hanging on balconies outside throughout the city. The decision on when to do laundry is not really left to one’s own schedule or choice, but is instead determined by the whims of nature. In this, I ponder a parallel in wondering…

Well, it has indeed been a while since I last posted This Week’s Workouts as I have been rather sporadic in my workout routine. Also, not having a gym makes it more challenging. Although I do tend to walk quite a bit every day, this maintains my weight but does not do much for tone…

De-Press-Ants-Anti
Two days before the darkest days of my life started I began a new round of anti-depressants because as I had written, I was considering it based on my up and down moods. Luckily, they kicked in on the day that I had to cope to distract me from the reality of our situation. It…
