If you are like some (many?) of us, you would have felt “not good enough” at some point in your life. Inadequacy issues will be nothing new to you. You and I am in the same boat as numerous others. Writing about feelings of inadequacy is old news, too. The more we entertain the thoughts…… Continue reading Cause, Effect and Ripple Effects
https://youtu.be/fmnR5Fp014U It’s a good summary of the first month from Patient Zero (5th of March) to the first few days of April when we were already in lockdown; watch it. Watching this, seeing and being reminded of how others live during this tough time, I feel a little guilty for the spoiled brat moment I…… Continue reading A Different Month
“The new, albeit temporary, normal,” I wrote.I am hopeful. I believe this is temporary. There will be a permanent “new normal” where we will find ourselves on the other side of Covid-19. It’s not what we have now, but it might have some aspects of this new-but-temporary normal, integrated to the old normal. Part of…… Continue reading Temporary

My fire is extinguished and my spirit dies a little each time. >>> It’s exhausting! Am I weakening? Am…… Continue reading A pause in time
What bothers you about people? Do bad people upset you? I don’t mean criminal bad or pure evil bad. That’s pretty obvious. I mean nasty, spiteful, inconsiderate, self-centred otherwise would-have-been-good people. With my guards down, bad people get to me. They get under my skin and I just want to crawl out so I am…… Continue reading Passing thoughts…
This is my entry for “E” for the A to Z Challenge. I love Evita! Surely, most people know of Evita: the person, María Eva Duarte de Perón, who lived a short life from the May 7, 1919 to July 26, 1952, and the musical: theatre and movie, the latter with Madonna and Antonio Banderas.…… Continue reading “E” is for Evita
This is my entry for “C” for the A to Z Challenge. Last year, Crazy Rich Asians (CRA) saw many Asians going to the cinema to watch a movie more than once. Mothers and daughters went together. The ones who have seen the movie and absolutely loved it took other family members and friends to…… Continue reading “C” is for Crazy Rich Asians
Note: As with legal contracts, reference to “men” also refers to “women”. (Is that patriarchal or has it not hidden meaning? Legal documents tend to be long and we simply make some effort to shorten them.) In South Africa, at two minutes before midnight a little over twelve hours ago (at the time of writing)—23:58…… Continue reading Of Men and Moon
