I say, "Fake it till I make it"

My vision is dreamy, I admit

Will I be able to submit

Can I perform and commit?

I will do it, not just try

Little by little, I'll get by

I will be strong and won't cry

I will get help from up high

My dream board is pure, I am sure

Am I strong enough or mature?

I have my doubts and feel unsure

But each day I smile, and say, "Bonjour"

Join us in ABC Wednesday.
The letter this week is V.

Ordering out, Lunch break in the patio, ice cream, flowers, coffee, sports store shopping, meditation, good food, home-made Pad Thai

A few moments of fun 
Captured on my  iphone
Give me reasons to look back
When I feel I should groan

Banking happy moments
On my camera-phone
Cost me almost nothing 
For sure not a ton

Spending time with my daughter
Whatever we may do
Be it ordering out
Or buying shampoo

Shopping for skateboards
Or a big hula hoop
She's a joy to be with
Lately she's been good

Work is also going well
I found a new solution 
For some crazy hectic days 
I need to change zones

Just a half hour lunch break
On the patio with sun
Refreshes my energy 
When I feel I have none


My version of "I can do hard things," inspired by Lizzi from TToT

Headstand-Carin version



And to top off my week
I accomplished something
Partial headstand I did
Without my neck breaking

We. started the day with frappuccino

To bribe my daughter, to get up and go

For if I didn't, she'd get up late

I was inpatient, I could not wait

I took her to my favorite restaurant

To have a brunch and save us lunch

And then we shopped until we dropped

Back home we went, and had a chat

"Let's do some yoga," she suddenly asked

I was surprised that she have asked

For a long time I offered and she just laughed

Now she was the one preparing the mats

Step by step we posed together

Following the video in the computer

That sure felt good to pose with her

It lightened our spirits and pain right after

Selfies, exercise, yoga-with-a-frown, and messy braid.
It was me-time before I headed to work where it was busy.

Too busy to go to the gym

Or too cheap to pay the gym fee

I can work out at home

Where it is free

No one is looking if I don't do it right

No one can see me be it daylight or night

I can wear what I want -- skirt, shorts, or tight pants

I can move oh-so-freely as careless as I want

Beneath the smile

Through the blinds

Through the window

I read your mind

I hear the sound

You can't unwound

The falling rain and force of water

Straight on the ground

Think positive, get out of bad weather

Little by little, let's run together

Our day will be marvelous

We can do better

Spone Bob fish bowl, female betta fish, little inspiration

I did not think it would affect me but last Tuesday, I kept thinking about my Betta fish I raised for three years since it was a baby an not even an inch long. It was floating in the bowl in the morning before I went to work. It seemed to have a swollen cut in the belly and already had a foul smell. How could I not notice earlier it was ill?

I went to the Pet store to buy one. The store did not have a baby Betta so I got what they have, I am guessing, a teen Betta. I got a female one hoping I will add two more female later.

I went back to the pet store another day, this time with my daughter.

“Let's get Sponge Bob.”

She was pointing at the yellow-orange pineapple house set with the big-toothed-always-smiling Sponge Bob. Funny, I had been looking of that too but did not pick it earlier thinking my daughter would think I was being too childish.

So guess if we bought it?

Of course we did, plus two female Betta fish.

Watching the fish fascinated me that I watched them for about an hour.

Pull up bar that I cannot pull myself up all the way.
Perhaps I should just stretch. :)

Many challenges still come in my way. I just have to fish for happiness and inspiration in my life even when they are just "Little Things."

Yesterday, I started my day with meditation for twenty minutes, then exercise. And the dogs, of course, I took care of the dogs, walking in the neighborhood before I head for work.

I got to work feeling energized. I had two patients in the intensive care unit, different cases than my usual post operative open heart surgery patients. I had a busy but good day.
