Selective memory?
We had the joy of the smoke alarm battery notifying us it needed a change in the middle of the night. Perhaps we could have slept through it, but Roli was having none of that. Apparently he associates the chirping of smoke alarms with impending doom, so there was no sleep to be had until I changed the battery.
Is it me, or does it always seem to happen at an inopportune time? That got me wondering. Does it really always happen in the middle of the night or do I forget the times that it happens during the day? Perhaps we should forget about the sleepless night and celebrate the fact that there was no fire.
What do you do to downplay bad luck and focus on your good luck?
Hopefully, my questions cause you to reflect on your own thinking, relationships or choices. Maybe I even inspire you to make positive changes.

What the heck is movement therapy?
Being 1 of only 2 Certified Applied Movement Neurology (AMN) practitioners in the Northeast (the other is in Boston) has its upsides and downsides. On one hand, I am not competing with other practitioners to get clients. Amazing! Everyone looking for AMN sessions will...
Giving honest feedback
Back when we lived in London, our local pub was The Old White Bear (my all-time favorite pub, tragically closed due to developer greed). The only good thing that came from the closing was that many of the staff were pushed into more actively pursuing their dreams as...
Looks are deceiving
No matter how put together a person’s life seems, they have their sacrifices and pain points. What you see isn't a good standard by which to compare yourself. How many people know your struggles? PS - Comparison is the thief of joy. For best results, skip comparisons...
