Disillusioned yet happy and hopeful
For no good reason I thought of the contraptions and gadgets I have bought and discarded over the years. Top of mind were my rather large android phone with a stylus pen, a PDA aka Personal Digital Assistant, an activity tracker like a Fitbit, an abdominal roller, stationery exercise bike and porridge soup cooker. I […]

It’s my birthday month. Yes, the whole month of March. Why not I ask? I know it’s birth + day = birthday. So, it’s ‘supposed’ to be celebrated on one day. I know. But, what the hey? Particularly as it makes me happier and a little more special. I get to decide what I want and […]

Last week, I became sixty. My husband kick started my birthday celebration in January. Yes, sixty days prior with fun presents every day. There were also loads of birthday discussions and excitement about the youngest, that’s me, turning sixty, in my family. My sisters, who live abroad, sent parcels of thoughtful gifts long before, leading up […]

I never owned nor read Winnie-the-Pooh before. I was introduced to Pooh late in life. Of course, I knew and heard of this adorable bear of little brain. But that was it. Until I watched the movie ‘Christopher Robin.’ It was a watershed moment for me. I became a Pooh convert. His easy and unassuming […]

What do I really know about people? Conversations with my husband about people and events made me wonder how much or how well we or rather I know people. Family. Friends. Acquaintances. Corporate personalities. Sports figures. Actors. Actresses. Other celebrities. Politicians. Is what I know or think I know based on a shared history? Fact […]
