    About me

    Winding down March

    Mother Nature helped me and I think I had a very productive March. Yes, spring cleaning inside and outside has begun. For any activity we do, once it is set in motion the rest follows. The month began with a trip to Shenandoah National Park and it was a wonderful time and I think our…

    Our gardening season begins

    Today I was watching a TV show and someone mentioned that they needed to be in Cancun, Mexico for a vacation. I immediately searched for ticketing options and if I fly in another ten days, a round trip ticket would just cost me 250 dollars. Wow, I did not know it was that cheap. Anyhow,…

    Worries

    This week my question is; What saddens or worries you about the future? Last week I asked what brings joy to your day. Today my question is the reverse- What worries you about future? I may sound selfish, I am not worried about global warming or who is going to get elected but I have…

I never use the canned version and always a fresh one. One thing the critters in my garden have not touched is the tomato plant (touchwood, I…

    Therapeutic

    My chain of thoughts continued through the week. I was thinking about therapy and that is when my brain just jumped over the word therapeutic. This is a common term that is being used nowadays. Okay, I had to look into the dictionary and one of the definitions was having a beneficial effect on the…

    Tattoos, me?

    What tattoo do you want and where would you put it? I love wearing henna. Yes, it is a big part of my culture. But those disappear after some time 😊. When I was little I used to look at my maid servants’ hands. They had a lot of stuff tattooed on their hands from…

    A chain of thoughts

    What is one word that describes you? Yesterday I was having a conversation with another person and she told me about how she had neglected her fall. Now that she was suffering. It lead me to tell her about a ligament tear I had more than 20 years ago. The doctor then had suggested 4…

    Joy for the day

    What are the 4 hormones of happiness?  Dopamine, serotonin, endorphins, and oxytocin. You can boost levels of these hormones with some simple lifestyle changes, like diet, exercise, and meditation, and possibly improve your mood in the process. I had to google to find the neurotransmitters that give us joy.😊 I am a person who is…

    Being Superstitious

    Are you superstitious? Our religion and culture emphasize on some superstition but somethings we develop on our own.😊 I need my right foot to land when I am climbing up or down the stairs. I will not finish my entire coffee, there will be a little left over in a cup. I have strong memory…

    A social animal 😀

    Which animal would you compare yourself to and why? I was never an introvert. I loved being among people but with my son’s autism things were hard. His sensory processing issues really makes him look as if he is anti social. Ha, I am a Mom on mission. We have worked our way to socialize.…
