Do you spend more time thinking about the future or the past? Why? No... I do not spend more time, I do it all the time.. why? Because I don't know how not to think about the future or the past. I have been trying harder for the last two weeks though.... To think about … Continue reading Present

Situations
What do we do when we face some particular life situations and we don't know what to do? An old church song came into my mind: Are you ever burdened with a load of care?Does the cross seem heavy, you are called to bear?Count your many blessings, every doubt will flyAnd you will be singing … Continue reading Situations
Mindless
I never knew... Until just recently, a mindless state is not a bad state at all... I get used to the continuous streams of my own thought and I never knew that I could stop the stream, and it seems so normal. Don't overthink, don't sweat the small stuff... There are so many quotes about … Continue reading Mindless

Clean up
I dare to say... I like cleaning up, you know the house work: washing the dishes, sweeping, mopping, putting the laundry into the washing machine, and sometimes when all the stars line up correctly, I even clean the storage room: sorting, rearranging, and tossing out things that have never resurfaced for the last three years … Continue reading Clean up
