Nothing went according to plan this week. When the sun sets early, and there is darkness around 5 pm your mood surely comes down. I have activities for myself lined up in the evening yet, it is not the same as summer time. A twenty year old pain/problem popped back again giving me a scare.…

When we have too many fruits and vegetables, life becomes complicated! Eat fruit as a snack! I hear so many doctors and nutritionists!

My recent trip to India, I purchased a lot of tiny things from street vendors. I had a very tough time with the new currency notes. I couldn’t distinguish the difference between a 200 rupee note and a 500 rupee note! So when I gave a wrong note the vendor returned to me letting me…

Yesterday sunset was beautiful! The leaves are gone but the tree looked majestic. My son was not motivated to walk. But today morning he was fresh and we decided to hit a trail. Just 1.25 miles but very steep. We climbed almost 15 floors. His depth perception makes him go down the hill slowly. But…
