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.

Blogging challenge: September was bad in terms of blogging, and this challenge is pushing me to write which I so desperately needed. If you want to join, check it out here.

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

What if ... ?

What if — an agonizing feeling that no one is spared from. We all find ourselves in situations where we look back and think about things we have done, things we should have done, things we should not have done, or things we should have done differently. They are not necessarily regrets, but more of questioning and second-guessing the choices we have made. I for one get this feeling a lot, and I find myself thinking about how life could have been if my choices would have been different. What if I studied harder in school: I would have gotten into a better college with more opportunities, which means better job and satisfaction. But, who can guarantee that would have happened- so I'd rather be happy about the other things I did and not just study all the time. What if I stayed at my old job: I would have gotten to be roommates with my best friend for a much longer time, and would have definitely enjoyed more and I wouldn’t be stressed because of studying, assi
