When is the last time you took a risk? How did it work out? My two feet needs to be on the ground and I do not like heights. I am not even comfortable looking out an airplane window. Yet, when we were in Smoky Mountains last month I was forced to use the ski…

Describe a risk you took that you do not regret. We were at our local garden center a few days back. For many gardening is a hobby but for us we were just handed that hobby when we got our house. Our previous owner had a vegetable patch, after a year or two of doing…

Write about a time when you didn’t take action but wish you had. What would you do differently? It was the year 2009. Winter was coming to an end. We had booked tickets to visit my brother in Dallas for spring break. I was more than excited since it was our first visit. Then my…

What makes you nervous? I asker google what causes nervousness. It is the body’s nature response to a stressful situation that creates a fight or flight mode. It releases the hormone adrenaline.

My young man did great on his half hour walk this afternoon. The sudden rain made us cut short his walk and the weather app was right on target. The seven day forecast shows spring like weather and I don’t think I am going to jinx it if I say finally “great weather “. The…

How do you unwind after a demanding day? I am a night owl! I wind down a different way. While my family sleeps I pick up the trash around! I dispose off unwanted junk as the good old tube plays something I need to relax! It can be music, comedy or a muder mystery! However…

We won an egg and some bunnies yesterday at Easter party. Now we have bunnies inside our home along with many in our garden 😀! But the highlight today was our real egg hunt as we searched for the kill deer bird and it’s eggs in our local park. Looked like they were lost but…

Jot down the first thing that comes to your mind. Somethings can’t be changed! Yes being positive or working hard can change certain things in life but the fact remains whatever we try to do somethings do not change! Or should I put it this way, if somethings are bound to happen good or bad…

We were in Washington DC last weekend not to visit museums or monuments but to see the starting point of Cheaapeake and Ohio Canal. The tow path ran between Washington DC and Pittsburgh. We got our National Parks passport book stamped. Yes, we were not seeing Cherry blossoms but we saw other beautiful trees. The…

Describe a decision you made in the past that helped you learn or grow. A deer crossing a rotary yesterday evening. This is a busy intersection during peak time. By 7 pm, it does become deserted. I think the deer knows the traffic pattern and is out for a stroll late evening 😀! I think…

What place in the world do you never want to visit? Why? The world has really shrunk! I see most tourist places crowded and it is definitely marketed all over. It is also not expensive. One restriction for our family is vegetarian food. But there are rentals available with kitchen attached in most places. In…

“Not my cup of tea”! This has been reverberating in me the past few days. I heard from a friend who mentioned this phrase when I asked her if she was going to a particular seminar. It really stuck with me since then! Though she could have attended it was not to her taste. With…

It is new year for us. The dawn of new beginnings and wishing all those celebrating today a happy new year! I was asked what we do today? Just like all the cultures pray a bit, cook and eat a ton. So what was special. The boring aama vadai. Or the tortoise shaped lentil donut!…

Where do you see yourself in 10 years? WordPress prompts appear on my jetpack app! The problem being it shows different prompts every time I open. Some I may have done or some I am not interested in! Anyhow I really wanted to answer the above prompt since I knew what to write. By the…

The cold week ended. We even had some snow! It was a bit (or a lot) depressing. Anyhow the week was spent cooking and not any cooking but that involving lot of fat and carbohydrate. We did throw in protein and being vegetarians it was lot of lentils and different varieties of them. Anyhow I…

Describe something you learned in high school. abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz zyxwvutsrqponmlkjihgfedcba I think I was the last batch to learn typewriting and shorthand! The institute I went to learn these skills did become a computer training center. I can really type fast around 45 words per minute, maybe that skill still helps me browse the net faster!…

Describe one positive change you have made in your life. My blog is all about positivity so I try to write whatever positive happens in my life 😀! But I have to accept I too am guilty of feeling depressed or down sometimes and those are due to FOMO stuff. The internet does make you…

There are days nothing goes according to plan. Today was one such day. But the fun part was my plan was based on worst case scenarios and good things kept happening 😀! I had to home by 7.15 pm. I was aiming for 7.20 pm. I had mentally prepared to be late but I was…

What’s the most fun way to exercise? Exercise is hard! It requires time and a process that can be painful too. You learn about new muscles that exist after a workout! So what can make it easy? Maybe group exercises? I have never been to one in person like a pilates class or a yoga…

My husband ordered me a new iPhone yesterday. This is my fourth since I started using a smart phone since 2012. I have zero interest in it’s features. I get a new one because the old one really doesn’t work properly. Tech companies are smart. They try to make you upgrade stuff. I do not…
