Oh yes you are. And the saddest part of it all is that you know and enjoy it. Your face betrays you, it reveals your inner you. If ever there existed a worse person than you, it would be an evil cartoon character. You know, the one who scares the[…]
Ok, I admit. It has been a long time since I’ve posted something new. Forgive me for being uninspired. It’s just that the world doesn’t inspire me much at the moment. I don’t feel like getting up in the morning nor go to sleep at night. Although sometimes my brain[…]
It’s not that I don’t want to write. Surely I feel the urge to write but the last few days, my imagination seems to fail me. I wonder what to tell you guys out there. Maybe it’s because feedback or comments keep me waiting and waiting and waiting. As if[…]
You came into my life, like so many people, and like so many, you stuck around for quite some time. We had nice times, shared laughter and sadness, you were there for me as I was for you, you said, always. And then, all of a sudden, you stabbed me[…]
What would you do with a magic stick? Would you try to erase some parts of your past? Would you add an incredible future or write a whole new story from scratch? Would you read your life story up front if your book was handed out to you? It is[…]
Ever noticed how people seem to be able to place themselves in your position, preferably when you are down, miserable or upset? They tend to overload you with their ‘good’ advice, claiming to have answers to all your questions, even the ones not asked, and dare to enlighten you with[…]
It has been quiet for some days. You may wonder why. Sometimes bad things happen to good people. People who keep trying, who keep fighting and who keep wondering where they went wrong. But not for a second they wonder if it could possibly be the other way around. You[…]
Today is a cloudy day, lots of wind and a drop of rain from time to time. Not a usual day in June. The weather is like the dark world we live in these days, unpredictable and moody, even a bit wonky. People getting killed, people killing each other, physically[…]
Ok, so lazy Saturday didn’t happen. Hubby was in the mood for some household chores and believe me, once he gets started, there’s no stopping him! The kids quickly got out of sight, so it was just hubby and I. The fact that we hadn’t seen them all day, not[…]
Today I’m feeling kinda lazy. I’m feeling an urge to do nothing and just lounge around. Woke up late, still in my PJ’s, not a worry on my mind. Just enjoying my book, a nice cup of tea and this new and beautiful day. So guys, instead of immerse you[…]
Been following the news on our home country and they seem to fly through this Corona thing so quickly; reopening stores, a whole bunch of people spend time together on full beaches or shopping and filling the streets. Hopefully this will end well. Here for that matter, the restrictions continue[…]
Ok, so hubby read yesterday’s post. At first he tried to deny it but luckily he soon realised that he was not only lying to me but also to himself. “You can always turn to me when you have something on your mind, you know that, don’t you?” Maybe he[…]
How come that a father’s relationship with his children is so distinctively different than a mother’s? At least at our house it is. Nagging and complaining about practically everything, even the things he forgets or doesn’t do himself. Were there ever times when kids could breathe without wondering whether they[…]
Today I went to the hairdressers for the first time in 4 months! It was exciting and weird at the same time. Masks, gloves, unclear conversations which led to miscommunication and lots of laughter. We were happy to see each other again, even if it was without the usual hug[…]
Today is kind of an awkward day. It’s like Mother Nature is telling us that we need to take this quarantine time to feel the breeze and enjoy the sun and finally understand that there is so much more to life than all the luxury we are so used to.[…]
If there’s something I learned during these times of quarantine, it is that real friendship will survive anything. So many people wonder around in your life and so little stick around during times of trouble. Of all the people I know, and that are a lot, only a few stayed[…]
Ok so today we start a new life. We quit drinking, at least no more than 1 or 2 glasses of wine (can’t blame a girl for trying, can you?), we keep up our healthy food schedule, do some daily exercise and we write. Why this sudden change of heart?[…]
Last night was amazing, enjoying the sunset on the porch with Hubby and Firstborn. How awesome it is the way she sees life, with what kind of fluency she talks about growing up and the struggle of mentality and body changes, hopping from the Ancient History, over Cheops and his[…]
What if your sister is not your real sister but if you wanted one, she would be it? She is a very important part of my life, she’s my rock, she’s always there for me, she’s strong, she treats me kind although she can be very hard and persuasive if[…]
“To be able to love another you first need to love yourself.” What a load of crap if you ask me. My opinion, just saying. Let’s turn it around. To be able to love yourself you first need to FEEL LOVED. What about that? Ever considered it? Did it even,[…]
Strange times. That’s the least you can say about what we’re experiencing now. Will life ever be the same again? Will we return to our former selfs or will this cocoon, or “bubble” as we prefer to call it these days, will become a definite part of us? A new[…]
You know, life shouldn’t be such a difficult mess. It should be fun, exciting, bubbly, vivant, even a bit glamorous. As it was when you were 16. Man, that’s why they call it SWEET 16! Not because YOU were sweet when you were 16! Hell no! You weren’t. You were[…]
Was my head always this messy or did it happen gradually? When looking back on my life, it has been a bumpy ride… As a kid I was a very happy girl. Ok, I had issues, but didn’t we all? It took me a very long time to figure out[…]
