a portrait of life in Covid-19 lockdown
To stay at home for one whole month and practise social distancing is something unfamiliar and absolutely unprecedented for almost all of us. The Movement Control Order in our country was enforced from 18 March 2020 and has since been extended from two weeks to one month until 14 April 2020. Today is the 19th…
aging… doing it gracefully, humorously and gratefully
“Aging is not ‘lost youth’ but a new stage of opportunity and strength.” — Betty Friedan (1921 – 2006, American feminist writer and activist) I love soft lighting and I used to read or do my embroidery in soothing soft lights in the evenings.

a different skyline
So here I am… looking out from my new accommodation on the 21st floor and I am greeted by a totally different skyline from what I am used to. After a 2.5-hour flight yesterday, I got into a new city to begin a new part of my life journey. I am making some great changes…

“Constantly choose rather to want less, than to have more.” — Thomas à Kempis Reflecting on the theme of “contentment” from our daily devotion on Every Day with Jesus, I decided that it was time to do some decluttering — to rid of some of the things that I no longer want or need and…
tea or coffee?
