My Fave Vegetarian Breakfast Stall is Gone

By
I used to take-away from this quaint little stall in the morning after dropping the kids off to school. I would then come home to an instant healthy breakfast. But as I snuck my way around to the stall again this morning, after a long break, I was dismayed to find it gone. 

I honestly thought that the stall and the owner would be there forever.

Nothing remains the same, I am reminded again. Things are changing and people adapt. I guess it is another lesson and reminder about the impermanence of things in life.

I honestly thought it was going to be where I can get healthy breakfast every morning regardless because they have been there since as long as I can remember. A staple destination for those looking for cheap, healthy alternative breakfast.

And yet..

There is no birth or death, but arrival and departure from one form to the next
This is, of course, also a reminder to always appreciate what we have in front our eyes and in our lives at this very moment. When things change, you'll have no regret that they left because you've appreciated them to their fullest potentials when they were there. You will bid them farewell and good luck with a big, happy...and maybe a little emotional...smile on your face.

A Sweet Life

By
Bad news comes along everyday but last year alone, quite a few bad news struck me. The timing was like a mechanical pendulum. I thought to myself several times that I had enough, that what I needed was a break. A 10 day retreat where I am required to speak to no one, do nothing, listen to silence and nature and just be what I am meant to be.  But real life is not something you can escape for a long period of time. I served my silence....but reality will pendulum-swing back. A friend passed away after being in a coma for a few months. I know both husband and wife and they've always been really positive about handling the toughest of life situations. We may not agree with everything, but we do agree on many. During the time she was unconscious, I prayed every single day. I kid you not.  Her husband would report about her condition, good or bad, and I would either offer thanks or pray for good news and strength. Even during the worst hit moments, I kept the posi...

Feeling a Little Better

By
After all that fighting with the first week of meds, I finally feel like I am slightly more human and I can even consume food without throwing up anymore! It's a big celebration at the dinner table, it's a big celebration in the room and it's also a big celebration on the inside of me.  Taking care of myself has never been as important as last month when the sickness took over every single aspect of my life, every second of my life, and every ounce of my energy. When you're well, it's OK to fight all the way to planet Pluto and back  because you have it together. But when you're sick, there's nothing more humbling than your body telling you that you absolutely CANNOT.  Being this way has everything to do with being a single mother. Being alone or lonely was never much of an option for me and that has to do with the way I was brought up and the way I grew up. I had to fasttrack a lot of things and many times, when I failed, I had to pick everything u...

Prompt - Describe My Favorite Drink

By
Favorite drink? Non-alcoholic? Lol. Coffee because of its aroma and it is an added bonus that it wakes me up (before I go-go) and at this point in time, I try to stay away from Starbucks because it ain't cheap and it is basically sugar-in-a-cup, that stuff. I am continually in love with my three-in-one, yes, boring but faithful. And everyone should be in love with coffee, in my personal opinion. But that is just me. XOXO Marsha
