I woke up later in the night, feeling rested. I checked the time, and it was only 2 am! After drinking tea so late in the evening, I got up to pee. After that, I went back to bed. I was back in daydreaming mode, but managed to fall asleep – all the way to 3 am! I ...
Today is what I call my ‘bridge day’ because tomorrow will mark the seventeenth anniversary of losing my dad in 2006. After his prolonged illness and subsequent health decline, his passing was much more of a blessing than the sudden shock of losing my mother, but the loss of a loved on...

I made the horrible mistake of trying to take an inflatable kayak down to the lake and back in a wagon. It was grueling. Not a single bite all day either. That was yesterday, today has been spent trying to recover. Tomorrow will probably be worse, then I’ll start feeling better. ...
It’s understandable that we crave the safety of certainty. As Author David Rock writes in his book Your Brain at Work, “The brain craves certainty. A sense of uncertainty about the future and feeling out of control both generate strong limbic system responses.” ...
One day we passed another village, but fortunately nobody saw us. We did not wish to risk being taken prisoners a second time: we might not be so lucky as to escape in a stolen boat again. 1.What they could see on the boat was only___ . ...
