Obstacle
I once heard the phrase, *“The obstacle is the way.”* At first, it sounded like a paradox—how can the very thing that blocks me also be the path forward? But slowly, I began to see the truth in it.Every dream comes with its own guardians at the gate, those obstacles that test how much we … Continue reading Obstacle

Conversation
I have the conversation moment today! You see.. I'm the chatty one in this household, and my husband is taking the part of listening, seriously. So I like to have a good conversation with my husband ... But he doesn't always deliver. No.. it's an understatement, he rarely delivers! And this evening, out of the … Continue reading Conversation

You're stressed out and then you run? Basically... Yes that's what I did. I started to mention running in … Continue reading Progress
Not my way
I’m learning to accept this part of him.His coping mechanism drives me nuts sometimes, but that’s because I expect him to be someone else. I compare myself with him — my way of fighting the storm against his way of waiting it out — and that’s not fair.He may not fight the storm the way … Continue reading Not my way
Sick leave
I’m taking a sick leave today. Just a common cold and a headache—not terrible, but honestly, who doesn’t need a rest day once in a while? So I stayed home, slept in, and asked my husband to brew me a cup of tea. Everyone in the house made their own breakfast this morning, except me. … Continue reading Sick leave
