The Green Bench

Times have surely changed. Have you echoed that sentiment recently? I consider myself a confirmed people watcher. This is a hobby of mine, partly because I am so intrigued with human behavior and how we have changed over the decades. Particularly in the ways we socialize. Recently I came across this picture I took ofContinue reading “The Green Bench”

When It’s Over

Seasons, graduations, baby showers, weddings, retirement parties, gray hairs, joint pains and funerals are all reminders that most things in life don’t last forever. There is truly a time for everything. Seasons come and they go. Though we all know this, many of us have a hard time letting go and moving on. Many ofContinue reading “When It’s Over”

The Color Like Me

Bloganuary 2023: Prompt Day #19- What color describes your personality and why? At the end of the Christmas holiday, I got this intense desire to change the color scheme in my bedroom to include yellow. Except for a car, I pretty much love yellow as a color choice for many things. There’s something about yellowContinue reading “The Color Like Me”

Forever Changed

Bloganuary 2023 – # 10 ‘Has a book changed your life?’ My answer to this writing prompt is – ‘absolutely!’ I love to read. Admittedly, I was more of an avid reader when I was younger. I’ve always joked that college stole my joy of reading, especially grad school. Reading became a chore that wasContinue reading “Forever Changed”

Kept Safe

There are two other safety features in my car that provide extra guidance and protection on the roads. RSA [Continue reading “Kept Safe”

BSM

Blind Spot Monitoring system [ BSM] is a safety mechanism in my car that warns me of other vehicles in my blind spot. It alerts me with an LED light in the corresponding side view mirror. The main intent is to aid drivers with lane changes and prevent accidents. Honestly, this has helped me aContinue reading “BSM”

The Road Ahead

Destination addiction is a chronic condition that plagues a lot of us. Truthfully I’ve had to fight the urge to be obsessed with ‘ that someday’ when I’ll be happy or fulfilled. When I turn 18, get married, graduate college, get my dream job, have a baby, purchase my dream house, retire, or lose thatContinue reading “The Road Ahead”

We Made It!

I had to squeeze in one last post for 2022! This year came with many great moments and some others that pulled the best and worst out of me. Cried some tears, faced one of my greatest fears – had to stop and BREATHE a time or two. I stayed committed to this blog andContinue reading “We Made It!”

No Cuffing Here

Many like myself find it a task keeping up with the common slangs that evolve around us time after time. Cuffing is one that caught my attention recently. It is a term based on the idea of getting “handcuffed” or tied down to one person. The Urban dictionary defines the cuffing season as the ‘season inContinue reading “No Cuffing Here”
