Born this way.

I am determined to be cheerful and happy in whatever situation I may find myself. For I have learned that the greater part of our misery or unhappiness is determined not by our circumstance but by our disposition. Hello folks. Aah, I loathe to admit that these wise words aren't my own; they belong to...

Amidst the everyday humdrumness, finding your little haven is paramount.

I often speak about chaos and the everyday mundanity of life. About troubles and banes. About the insanity of new motherhood and the accompanying weight of responsibility. I often unburden myself here on the blog and use it as a portal to bemoan my troubles, at the expense of you lovely folks. Venting troubles online...

Exhaustion.

“My head aches, my eyes burn, my arms and legs have given up, and my face in the mirror has a grayish cast. The bed, across the room, calls in its unmistakable lover's croon, Come to me, come, only I can make you truly happy, oh, how happy I'll make you, don't resist, remember how...

The fabulousness of an imperfect life.

There are possibly only three constants in life- boredom, change and death. Death is of course irreversible and inevitable and we shall talk no more of it, at this present juncture. We shall let death lie in wait, for another day. Boredom and change are inseparable bedfellows. One cannot be without the other, and one...

Ma Wednesday! Mommy pangs.

Ugh. This is turning into quite the mommy blog. I seem to write about Zoe and my Mummy adventures more than anything else. Apologies, if you find these mommy rants boring and repetitive. It's just that, even though I have a dozen (read half a million) other things going on in my life, this one...

Troubles. And a mid- air chat.

The trouble with trouble is that when you are in the middle of it, it seems insurmountable. Life ahead seems inconceivable. You use terms and phrases like never, ever, why... They become a mantra. You fail to appreciate all the things you have going for you. All the things in your life that make it...

9 PM- I go on and on..

Good night awnties and uncies! Zoe!

12 PM- Thankful for the mini- luxuries.

Bub's snoring on the bed, gravy's bubbling in the pot, fish's frying in the pan. A small little window of freedom. A scrub maybe, a mask possibly..... some lemonade and magazines! Till the next hour.. Dr J.

Finding my sunshine

I am truly envious of those people. Those people who are content. Happy with where they are and glad of their circumstance. They make me green- eyed and feel 'not so virtuous'. I secretly covet their lives and their calm, sedate existence of contentedness. I wish I had their strength of character, a character that...

Stepping back. And what’s been up lately.

The blog's been a little lackluster lately. I am aware. I have slowed things down. Have stepped back a few steps. Life is on cruise control, unlike my usual turbo- charged mode. I do this ever so often. Mostly, as a survival tactic. Taking time off is paramount to my barely there sanity. For someone...
