If you asked me what the trigger was for walking down memory lane today, I don’t think I could tell you. I started with when I first started playing WoW, scrolling through old screenshots of me in-game in those early days. Those triggered some bad memories, because the people with whom I played with at first are no longer a part of my life. It wasn’t so much the fact they were now persona non grata, but more the how ..read more

Knowing when a mistake is just a mistake and moving on
For the second time in my life, (and funnily from the same source), it’s been demonstrated that no matter how much good I think I’m doing, someone else has an entirely different perspective. When I am speaking truths that need to be spoken but they aren’t ready to be heard – and probably will never be – what it results in is this: a complete and painful disconnect. So I face a choice:
Regret the time and effort and emotion given?

True love, Valentine’s Day and a revelation
On Friday of last week, I stumbled on this post linked on twitter. (Incidentally, because I re-tweeted it, the blogger subsequently followed me … ha!).

Coincidentally, one of my blog subscriptions posted “Annual Review: Reflection and Setting Intentions for the New Year” which included a document with ..read more
Dealing with Death in life
My Grandfather-in-law passed away early on Thanksgiving Day 2009. He had been ailing for some time and in desperate pain. I think everyone, while sad at his passing, was also relieved that he was finally at peace. For me, it was far more difficult than I had thought it would be. It put me in a foul mood all day – I was snippy and argumentative and irritable and then, finally, quick to tears when I managed to stop myself ..read more
How I went from a “Creature of Habit” to being a Military Spouse
Having lived in the same house with my parents for all my childhood (and some of my adult) years was a solid foundation for me. It gave me that one thing in my life that I could always count on. Home would always be right there at Dukharan Avenue and if all else failed, I could pack up my meagre belongings and head home for Mom and Dad to help me get back on my feet.
In fact, that is exactly ..read more
