How cleaning out the house is a metaphor for life

April 13, 2016

As I spend a lot of time over at my Mom’s house, cleaning it out, I have had a lot of time to reflect upon life. I thought it would be very sad to be cleaning out my childhood home, but it has been rather uplifting. It’s cathartic in a way. Here are some lessons […]

The mystery of wood

April 6, 2016

So I have been cleaning out my parents’ house. They weren’t packrats, but they lived in this house for over 50 years, so there is a lot of stuff to be cleaned out! I thought I would have a hard time going over to the house after Mom died. But surprisingly, I haven’t been too […]

Spring flowers

March 30, 2016

Nothing too deep this week, just a pretty picture of the beautiful flowers my dear mother-in-law sent me recently. Even though I still grieve for my mother, I am happy that spring is coming. I can’t help but smile when I look at these pretty flowers. I am constantly amazed that simple things can bring […]

A Peep holiday

March 23, 2016

A very dear friend sent me a box of special Peeps. They brought a big smile to my face. Little Peeps in a snowbank! Little Peeps in mud. And last, but not least, classic chick Peeps in a puddle. Spring is coming! So what is your favorite Peep this year? Photos of Peeps courtesy of […]

Smiles amidst the tears

March 16, 2016

These past few weeks have been tough since my dear Mother passed away. In spite of the sadness, I try to find brightness in every day. Here is the story of my visit to the hospital with her. 1. The Emergency Room. I thought I was over being amazed at the 12 year doctors running […]

The Serengeti

March 2, 2016

What on earth does the Serengeti have to do with anything? Well, believe it or not, there is a point to this. I just got the Serengeti Badge from my Fitbit! That means that I walked 500 miles, which I guess is the length of the Serengeti Desert. Although I am not sure that anyone […]

The joy of tea

February 17, 2016

I love caffeine. When one gets up at 4 am (!) to work out, one needs something more than just a will to get moving. I am getting more and more serious about healthy eating too, but even when I did the Ultimate Yogi 108 Day Challenge, I couldn’t give up caffeine. Come to think […]

More snow

February 10, 2016

Nothing much to say this week, since we just had two big snowstorms. The aftermath sure was pretty. Sunset over trees after snowstorm #1: Our snowy street after snowstorm #2: Pretty backyard scene with the pine tree and snow covered rose bush in front of it:

It just takes a little bit

February 3, 2016

So I woke up this morning, feeling tired and little bit under the weather. The thought of exercise was the last thing on my mind. But, a little bit of guilt took over. So I decided to pull out a Leslie Sansone Walking DVD to do. This is an easy walking workout and it only […]

Dodging the snow bullet

January 27, 2016

So I live in New England. So we get snow in New England. Last year we broke a record for snowfall; we got something like 108 inches total. There was a blizzard warning for this past weekend and let’s just say us New Englanders were having deja vu about snow. Well, instead of this: We […]
