Image by davis.jacque via FlickrOkay, so I made up a phrase - 'doing silly'. What do I mean by it?Spending a few minutes every day being absolutely crazy and child-like. I can picture some of you reading this and going......'She's certainly lost her marbles.' And you wouldn't be wrong - I'm simply 'marbless'! :)Back to the serious business of being silly. If I'm all tense and tired, at some point in the day, I find, it's because I've not spent any time being silly! With a mad boxer as a pet … [Read more...]
Have You A Good ‘Eye’?
January 26, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Image via WikipediaI'm always amazed at the details that good artists or fine photographers are able to capture - how they are able to capture beauty in the ordinary. Like this picture. Just some trees and a body of water but what a beautiful picture - how wonderfully the reflection of the trees is captured. 'What a great eye s/he has!' we say........And I ask myself - have I got a good 'eye'? Not for a picture, but to see the beauty and goodness in the every day events of my life. Do I … [Read more...]
Dangling Conversations
July 26, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Today's song is 'Dangling Conversation' by Simon and Garfunkel This one is about inane and meaningless conversations between two people - perhaps, a couple. It got me thinking of the several meaningless conversations I've indulged in over the years...and continue to at times. Sometimes we talk to people for years and we don't really know them. For example : This 'friend' of over twenty years, who started reading my blog and mailed me to ask: 'When did you become so deep?' I … [Read more...]
Thankful Tuesday Blog Hop
June 30, 2010 By 3 Comments
What have I got to be thankful for this Tuesday, I wonder? The answer, as always, is - plenty!First of all, thank you to all of you who sent 'get well' messages for José (J) and birthday wishes to my Mum. Since last week's post, we continue to be blessed and content. J is much better, albeit a little weak. We've worked out a great arrangement to have our flat cleaned regularly. My Mom had a good birthday (without me) - lots of calls and a family evening out. So I'm really … [Read more...]
Musical Monday – Ordinary Miracle
June 28, 2010 By 2 Comments
I love Musical Monday posts because there are so many wonderful songs out there that I'd love to share with you. In fact, I have several drafts for these posts. But today, I've chosen a song that is especially meaningful and came to my mind yesterday afternoon.We had had a nice Sunday lunch, and José was napping, as was Pablo and I was lying down and reading a very interesting book (okay Mom, I know, I shouldn't lie down and read, but old habits die hard!). I'm not sure what … [Read more...]
Not Stressed Now
June 23, 2010 By 9 Comments
I was supposed to be in Hyderabad (my hometown) today and in time for my Mom's birthday on the 25th - but on Saturday, José started a fever that turned out to be malaria (again!), so I cancelled my trip. There was a time, when I would have been very unhappy with this change of plans and keep wondering what to do next...Not now.We're without a maid at present, so there's extra housework to be done and one less hand (José 's) to help. There was a time this would have stressed me out ....Not … [Read more...]
