A blank page

There’s nothing worse than staring past the balcony and seeing rain dropping in the best part of the day, morning. I’ve already been waking up around 7:30 – 8:00 am since anytime before that, there simply isn’t anything to do besides listening to soft music and having coffee. The winter day is short and IContinue reading “A blank page”

Ikigai

From the start of my day till I retire at night, there should be meaning to it. This is what I struggle for. What is work without enjoyment? It’s good to have mental ease and live happily at the least. A little smile here and there. What is family without interaction? It should be aContinue reading “Ikigai”

Incarcerated

It doesn’t get worse than this. I’m already feeling the blues not being able to do activities I normally do, and then this. After more than a month of unending rain, 2 days of thick snow. I’m racking my brains how to get off our apartment and at least do an activity without trudging throughContinue reading “Incarcerated”

Thank you my wife.

It seems like a lifetime I haven’t really thanked her personally. Even at this point in my life which seems to be at it’s darkest. She is always there as the backbone of our family. Without her, I am nothing. We don’t talk much like friends these days as both of as are really stressed-out.Continue reading “Thank you my wife.”

Indoors and very short hours

Am honestly tired of sleeping long hours and being indoors most of the time. I can’t be watching cable tv for hours on end much so sit on the couch but it doesn’t seem to bother my wife and 5 year old. It seems the long Christmas break has put a spell on them. AsContinue reading “Indoors and very short hours”

Unhurried pace of life

The above picture sums it all up. Just a peaceful setting in an ocean of unknowns. What you don’t see underneath won’t hurt you. I’ve always loved the sea. It has given me joy and a restart to a day full of stress. From windsurfing, scuba diving, kiteboarding, sailing to just anything that skims aboveContinue reading “Unhurried pace of life”

New Year’s day

I just realized after all those past weeks that the sunrise was at eight to eight thirty in the morning and the sunset was around four thirty. Such a short day. And the day started with a groggy day awaken by the sun piercing through the curtains. I checked the time at 9:30 am andContinue reading “New Year’s day”

Rain, rain go away!

I woke up but not entirely open. My eyes felt so ‘spicy’, it was hard to open both. It wasn’t the first time I’ve felt this maybe a few decades ago. But this was different. Every time I try to open my left eye it seemed tearing at the seams. It felt like glue thatContinue reading “Rain, rain go away!”

Challenged

All I wanted was to pass through the side of the dining table to get to the kitchen and grab some dinner. Since the entire apartment was carpeted, I made sure I walked barefoot. This particular evening, I was a bit tired and exhausted but not as much as days in the past. My wifeContinue reading “Challenged”
