The husband has been away for the last six days, scuba diving in Bali with J, another friend and a group of others. Some people are surprised that I let him go, which in turn surprises me, because I would never forbid him from going (yes, I’m one of those “I want you to want [...]
It often surprises me how people can be so mean and angry and critical and personal on other people’s blogs. I used to wonder if maybe the anonymity the Internet provides is their only avenue and opportunity to spew forth all their pent-up venom from some past misfortune. I mean, if they really don’t like [...]
During my more recent wanderings on the World Wide Web, I chanced upon a site which led to another site which led to… this:
If you can’t get over that first bit, you should stop reading now.

This is very old news but a beautiful reminder to stop rushing through life. I find this incredibly inspiring for reasons I am not entirely able to express. Perhaps it is simply the music.

I like knowing “my [...]
Today, I did something I’ve never done before. Friends who’ve tried it say I’m going to be in trouble, because once you start, there’s no stopping. It’s just too accessible, too convenient and far too tempting. Today, I shopped online for the very first time.

I’ve always been perfectly happy to hang out by myself if I need to, and with Y working really late the past couple months, I’ve had plenty of me-time.
