It all began with a sore throat that eventually developed into a low-grade fever and fatigue at the start of last week. Both my younger one and I were at the mercy of … More Grateful for the little moments #SoulfulSunday
This morning my eldest left for Florida with his teachers and friends from school. It’s an educational trip filled with lots of fun activities. He was very excited about this trip. Naturally, I was nervous. But his excitement helped me relax. I have given him instructions on what to do, what not to do, etc. … More Days Of Our Lives #WeeklyGratitude #SoulfulSunday
It feels odd writing this post today. I haven’t been writing my weekly gratitude posts since the very first one of 2023 that I published in the first week of January. The reason? Oh, there is no reason, other than excuses. Truthfully, I didn’t feel like writing a gratitude post. I wrote a couple of … More I Am Grateful For #WeeklyGratitude #SoulfulSunday
“It is not joy that makes us grateful; it is gratitude that makes us joyful.” – David Steindl-Rast January is a month of freshness.

Every twist and turn would eventually lead us to something marvelous. That’s what I like to believe. However, keeping a positive attitude … More Weekly Gratitude – 31 #SoulfulSunday
Is it reasonable to complain when I hardly spend any time solving the problem? Well, I haven’t even spent a bit of time identifying the real problem here. Then how is it sensible to complain? It feels like it’s been ages since I wrote a decent poem. I miss it. I miss playing with words. … More Weekly Gratitude – 28 #SoulfulSunday

But this year, June started with a full-on tormenting heat wave rather than letting us ease into the sweltering hot weather. Air conditioners working 24/7 without a … More Weekly Gratitude – 24 #SoulfulSunday
June is here already. The first half of 2022 is running its last leg. How was your year so far? My mind started forming these negative thoughts without my knowledge or permission and I felt a bit beaten down these past few weeks. Over the years we all have accumulated certain beliefs and thoughts that … More Weekly Gratitude – 22 #SoulfulSunday
If only I were raised differently… If only I wasn’t taught these blind superstitions… If only I had been given a little more freedom to pursue my dream when I was young… Many times our thoughts fall into these “if onlys” and we blame our past for the way we are today.
