Sometimes we have to remember: we are not a microwave, we don’t beep when we are ready or perfect. Imagine the confusion it will cause. Found the perfect Christmas gift at the mall. Beeeep! Just had the best cup of coffee. Beeeep! I got out of bed today. Beeeep! Washed my hair. Found a parking…
As the year reached a near end, and we are almost through 2025, I have been doing some reflecting on what happened in this past year. There is a whole list of things, some good and some bad. But what is so surprising is that if feels like this year just flew past. It feels…
Imagine someone walking in the street with a big, grey cloud hanging over their head. If they are anything like me, they will hate their wet feet in closed shoes, sloshing along the wet path. They will probably be just as grumpy as the cloud makes them feel. Maybe they are having a very bad…
I’ve been reading a lot of running tips, motivational texts as well as following positive people on Instagram. One thing I keep seeing is, all of them mention “Surround yourself with like-minded people”.

With summer in the air, sunshine and blue skies, we don’t wear too many socks. But then we end up with rain for days on end and we wear socks. And by doing the laundry, I lost some more socks. I have no idea how or where they went, I have searched and even asked…
Do you ever feel like you could use a magic wand and change things? Be fit? Run faster? Lose weight? Have a clean house? Empty Laundry basket? Whatever you want or wish for, just comes easy? Well no, life doesn’t work that way. I watched a movie about a man who loves his job and…
A valuable life lesson that I have learned is that no one is going to make you happy. Materialistic things will make you happy for a short time and then you go back to normal. People might make you laugh, make you feel loved and cared for but they cannot make you happy. One very…
I have been thinking about my failures and success for the past year. Reflection. What can I do differently, where did things go wrong but also more positively, where did things go right? What do I need to change and what do I need to work on? I noticed I have more positive things to…
Windy chaos… something I am used to by now because things just never works out as planned. “What’s for dinner?” “Let’s make beef stew! With vegies and rice.” “Great idea!” “We don’t have beef.” “Chicken stew then?” “No, I don’t feel like having chicken.” And at the very moment we are lost because you don’t…
