Thankful Friday — October Blogging Challenge Day 2

Thankful posts are one of my favorite things to write. Making myself think about the things (or people) I am blessed with, fills me up with so much gratitude and just makes my day so much better.

Today I am thankful for:

Friday: This week has been so hard and so slow, and I am just happy that it's finally Friday and I can catch up on sleep over the weekend. I also need a break from work.

Fitness progress: I know it's not the best and should be better if we go by the fitness calculators, but with the stubborn body I have, I am still thankful for the progress I have made and also for being able to stick to the diet.

Puppies: My dog back home had babies, and they are the cutest thing ever. I wish I could just go home right now to play with them.

Sunsets: Cali has been bestowing upon us amazing sceneries every evening. The views are simply breathtaking. I sit on my desk, looking out the window every evening and it takes all the stress away. See one of the many here:

Social Media: While most people are complaining about social media and its un-productivity these days, I am just thankful because it lets me connect with my friends back home and also it has led me to know so many wonderful people in blogging world.

Car: I get my alone time to not think and just listen to music in my car (to and from work) and for someone like me, that time is essential to carry on.

A day in San Francisco — Memorial Day

If you have followed my blog for sometime, you probably know about my big move across coast. It's been a few months being a Cali resident, but I haven't gotten out as much as I would have liked. Maybe once we move to a place, it kinda loses the tourist charm that it has when we visit for a weekend. Don't you think? I decided to make this right and this Memorial Day weekend, I spent my first Touristy day in San Francisco. Like anything else, I made a long list of places to see, and spread it across three days based on distance proximity. Yes, it was a whole weekend plan but life get in way and hence it ended up being just a day trip. The day started with a little detour at Bay Trail, near Shoreline Park, followed by a quick brunch at Crepe Vine and a beautiful long drive to the city. The Painting Ladies at Alamo Square was our first stop. These are basically just houses with a Victorian architecture and painted with three or more colors. The whole area l...

I am thankful for

1. Naps: I had been in sleep debt for such a long time now, and over this weekend I slept well and a lot, and I feel like I have some energy back. 2. Alone time: My roommate was busy this weekend, and I was all alone- just doing my sleeping, laundry, reading. Like I have said before , it is a recharge for me to spend some time with just myself without the need to talk or be there for others. 3. Work: Past few months were a long, painful wait to get work. I used to hate those days when I was just waiting and it made me feel so worthless. But finally, I have got it! Bonus point: the perfect location- it's a five minute walk to a beautiful park facing a lake. I have been going there every day during lunch. 4. Fights: Normally, fights aren't something people are thankful for. But sometimes they show you how people care for you or how much you mean to them, so yeah today I am thankful for few. 5. A good news: My childhood friend got engaged! Yay!...

Transient Tuesdays: Don’t Be Afraid of Change

There are two types of people: those who fear change and those who actively pursue. I have always been an active pursuer of change, while my brother was not. I was the kid who changed my after school activity until I found what I really loved, with no fear at all. I was the one who changed my hair in middle school, who became a leader in a club during my freshmen year of high school, and who insisted on touring the country at 17. Change is a choice, and is an active endeavor. And so is not changing. We decide the direction our lives take, and we can either do so with fear or with confidence. Making changes keeps life the way you want it, on the track you wish to take, and is completely you’re choice what to do, or not do. Change shouldn't scare you, because it’s a tool to help you make your life just the way you want. Although staying where you are is comforting, change can make you grow and improve your situation. So go change your hair, your job, your city, or w...
