Today is the shortest day of the year. It was kind of busy and didn’t feel any different. That said and done, I plan to take a ten day blogging break. I am going to be catching up on other blogs and commenting but will not be writing anything new. Should I do a roundup…

What was the last thing you did for play or fun? If drinking a medium cup of coffee instead of a small cup counts as fun I should say that is the last thing I did a few minutes back. Who knew I would become a coffee addict! I was a tea person and still…

List your top 5 grocery store items. I think milk, milk and more milk. Oh boy! That is what it has been the past few months. We were very picky about our milk before getting organic milk but I do not know what happened we are just running out of them. I do make my…

Describe a man who has positively impacted your life. Wow there are too many men who impact my daily life. What if I just mentioned one and really hurt another. 😀😂 Truth be told none of the men who impact my life care to read my daily blogs so if I just talked about anyone…

Is your life today what you pictured a year ago? I went back to look at this prompt what I wrote a year ago and I couldn’t find it. Usually December and January is flu time in our home so we predict about it. Added this year was some pains to my body. Boy! even…

What skills or lessons have you learned recently? The New York Times Games made the mini crossword paid one when I tried opening it today. I think they will slowly reel all the other games like Wordle into paid category. Lesson learnt, nothing is free in this world. Yesterday I opened a packet of beetroot…

What cities do you want to visit? I have answered this prompt religiously the past two years with different takes. Meanwhile I have watched videos of tourists in Tokyo, Kulalampur and Simgapore. Maybe my brain says these Asian cities are something within my reach to visit. Yes, Singapore and Malaysia has a lot of Tamil…

Tell us one thing you hope people say about you. All my life growing up I worried and worked for people what they would think about me. So at this point in my life I really want to live for myself and do things without worrying how I impress people. The narrative I want to…

Tell us about your first day at something — school, work, as a parent, etc. Hearsay narrative of my first day at preschool! The pre school was closed because of heavy rains and I pointed to another bigger school nearby which was open and said I wanted to go there. My dad carried me and…

Have you ever performed on stage or given a speech? Of course I have thanks to my dad who encouraged me at every presentable opportunity. No, he didn’t groom me but he would come and let me know of competitions. I have participated in recitation competitions in English, Tamil and Sanskrit while growing up. My…

What are your favorite physical activities or exercises? Have you tried bobba tea? I am not a tea person so I just attempted the ice cream with bobba yesterday. With rain and snow mix we just did our physical exercise at the mall. Need to get the steps rain or shine. Activity my husband calls…

What is something others do that sparks your admiration? I love anyone who works hard. The trees do not have any leaves now. I see them with empty nests. I just realized how I took no care to observe them these years. These birds do their duty and expect nothing in return. They work hard…

What’s your favorite cartoon? I checked my response from last year and nothing has changed. My autistic son doesn’t like cartoon voices and we don’t watch any. I am fine with it. Maybe it is time to bond with my NT kid who would be coming home for the holidays? Maybe sit and watch with…
-
What could you do less of? Pitying myself! Yes, not to indulge in self pity party. Most of things are under our control. Things beyond us are not happening to us alone and it is for everyone in this world. Let me tell you it is not an easy task. The mind fools us so…

My mom called and asked what I was doing? I told her after a long day of Yoga, basketball and window shopping my body was in a horizontal position staring at the television. Morning began with yoga, yup and every week I get introduced to muscles I did not know existed. Today it was followed…
-
Do you ever see wild animals? If chipmunks, squirrels and rabbits that live in my yard are considered wild, I would say, yes they are my friendly (not so friendly) neighbors and I have a love hate relationship with them. All summer I see them! One time, we did call the gas agency since we…
-
Do you have a favorite place you have visited? Where is it? I was watching a video about Yosemite National Park’s half dome hike. I saw not one but two youtubers mention how friendly people were on the trail encouraging each other. Half done climb is a vertical climb on a granite rock. Even though…

The mall was not crowded yesterday. My young man was really happy to be there since we have been avoiding due to crowds the past weekend. He was scanning for junk and my eyes were scanning shops that sold girly stuff. Having boys and me not a person who is into dressing up, a lot…

What is one thing you would change about yourself? Two days back I watched the movie Home Alone one. Kevin’s mom rushed back to her child from Paris taking multiple transportation and undergoing so many obstacles in her path. As soon as she reached home and hugged her son, they hear a doorbell. They were…

Are you more of a night or morning person? Written for this prompt multiple times. Always not a morning person. Anyhow woke up to this beautiful winter wonderland! I am promising myself not to feel depressed that we are now in full blown winter so sharing some beauty Mother Nature threw at us. Remembering the…
