There come times in which you feel so helpless. You feel victim to your own circumstance. You feel yourself succumbing to it. To be fair, it's hard. You're not in control of your destiny, of what happens in your future, not totally...although we try every day to maintain some semblance of control. Sometimes it's just … Continue reading 26: Taking Control

Day 23: National Cookie Day
So I didn't know it was cookie day when I made the cookies but lately I've been obsessed with perfecting my own chocolate chip cookie recipe. So I've been doing a lot of research and watching a lot of videos on chocolate chip cookies. Last night I finally put it into practice, not totally perfect … Continue reading Day 23: National Cookie Day
Day 21: Is this a habit yet?
Perhaps. Not quite? I know this for sure: I don't find myself needing to be reminded to write. My alarm to write is actually around lunch time but I always end up writing these posts at bed. I do wonder if changing or removing the alarm will erase the routine or somehow make my memory … Continue reading Day 21: Is this a habit yet?
Day 20: I’m Up Late
And for reasons I won't discuss, have not posted in a few days. I have some reasons - mostly exhaustion. But the main thing is that certain events got in the way of my writing and by the time I had a moment, I fell asleep. That being said, I'm typing away while I'm waiting … Continue reading Day 20: I’m Up Late
Day 19: Another One of Those Days
I've been sleeping quite late recently. Past midnight which is out of character for me. This doesn't make me wake up later, however. In fact, it doesn't always make me more tired either. It's just what it is. I feel like if I sleep when I intend to, I'll still sleep until the same time. … Continue reading Day 19: Another One of Those Days
Day 18: The Present is Present
Now that the wishlist is finally out of the way, I'm stuck here wondering why we even give gifts to begin with. Is it because the wise men brought some to Jesus? So that gives us an excuse to gift each other? Is it a word of mouth tradition that just kept going? Was it … Continue reading Day 18: The Present is Present
Day 17: I wish I wish
As the holiday season rolls around, pretty much everyone is asking me what I want for Christmas, prompting me to make a list so this is what this post is. I did promise I'd do it, btw. Now I'm not the most materialistic person but the caveat about gift giving is that you don't know … Continue reading Day 17: I wish I wish
Day 16: I have a topic but…
I'm not really in the mood to do that right now. I think I'll save it for a tomorrow afternoon post. Let's see...what can I talk about? I don't know. Oh man, this could turn into a ramble like we've never seen before. When I was a teenager, this was usually the part where I'd … Continue reading Day 16: I have a topic but…
Day 15: I missed one
This was going to come eventually. I totally missed yesterday. There are a variety of reasons I didn't get to post, mostly business - with things, events, myself and my own emotions. There was a lot going on and I didn't find the time to post and when I remembered, I didn't have time to … Continue reading Day 15: I missed one
Day 14: I like pie so I made one
Today was my first sad attempt at making a pie. I will share it with you. I used the filling from this recipe. And the crust is from here. I'm not a professional baker but I do have some moderate experience with baking. I've made sandwich bread, cinnamon rolls, brownies, all kind of cakes and … Continue reading Day 14: I like pie so I made one
