THE JOURNEY FOR HOPE
I almost always set expectations on myself regardless of what some may see as unlikely. As a result, I often stress myself out and push myself to be the best I can be. This leads me to feel overwhelmed and even burned out at times. My mental health was at its worst during 2020, and those expectations are one of the reasons. I hope to correct that in 2021. I don’t think it’s necessary to explain why 2020 encouraged the negative energy that was within me, and some of those unfortunate and unwanted issues are still occurring. But “hope” is the word that comes to mind when I think about my plans for 2021 and the years to come.

Life is a School
Define life and not what you been told? Give yourself a minute and think? Unfortunately, we are hidden inside of our own material desire world and not seeing the outer beauty that is surrounding us. We still complain and complain of the things we don’t have and we don’t really know what those things will really be making the difference to us or not.

My Three Silly Resolutions for 2021
My dad always encouraged me to be a vegetarian when I was a kid. He was against the killing of chicken, lamb, cow or fish. Good for him but why did he have to pull me into that treacherous path? Anyway, I grew up without even the smell of chicken-eggs in our small house. However if I turn back the clock and look at my childhood, I don't think I ever regretted being a vegetarian. My mum used to make the best Indian cuisines for me, of course vegetarian. However on one occasion when I was drunk during my teenage years, I tasted fried meat for the first time when my friends disguised it for fried cauliflower. That was the beginning of a new me. Like a busted dam, I began to explore everything around me. My palate ended up expanding to the furthest corners of the world - to anything that walks or flies or moves, but plants.

The 5K
Tomorrow is Rob’s first 5K. Rob has carb-loaded all day to boost his energy, and he plans to grab a pair of proper sneakers tonight before the stores close. His sweat-proof shorts are in the same dresser drawer they’ve languished in since he moved in, and his 32-oz. water bottle is in the fridge. With one last scroll through #motivation on his Insta feed, he is ready.

Do a little, it means a lot
Every morning I wake up to pain and anxiety. The pain hits first, with aching joints and sore skin. I do not really know why it hurts, but it hurts. It takes several minutes to get up and out of the bed. As I prepare myself for the first step onto the floor, the anxiety sets in. The feeling that today will be the worst day. Being a little dramatic? Maybe, but that is where my head goes. I did this morning routine for years. Day after day of waking up to pain and my brain telling me to go back to be because it is safe in bed. My dogs need me,and I need to get a hold of things. This year I am making changes to combat the dreaded mornings.

Looking Forward
At the beginning of each new year, most of us set intentions or resolutions that we would like to apply to our own lives as a way to improve upon them. With 2020 behind us, this year hasn’t been much different in that regard; however, the resolutions I keep hearing vary from person to person.

Restarting your year, month, day
I have often said I go into hibernation from about Thanksgiving until my birthday, which is near the end of January. In retrospect, I think my latest hibernation started in early November with the US election. It was a high-stress time for me, plus getting dark out early, and light out late, and then all the political events that were like watching the wreck that I could not take my eyes off.

New Me 2021
This is me. Now. Before the whole World went crazy, with the COVID, riots, looting, and just total unsettlement, I was on my way to losing 125 pounds of fat body. Then, it all went to hell in a hand basket. Did I give up? Sort of...okay, yeah. I let my depression smack me around until yesterday!

Days of Pasts Future
Honesty as much as a person can be with themselves was my journey this past year. And the year before and so on. It seems every year is that journey and every new year marks the arbitrary moment when our futures might have it’s goals or destination mapped out. Perhaps we should come up with a better analogy for life than a journey. That was my first thought. But maybe I should not concern myself with new or better analogies and just start the journey. I think I’ll do that.

The Unbreakable Vow
Ahh 2020, the year that was supposed to hold so much promise and then Covid crapped all over our plans. But here we are! Underwhelmed, a little lost, slightly more cuddly than we were two years ago. Covid really did a number. But that's all over now, 2021, you've got a lot to offer.

True to Me
"Good intentions"... I wore them like a royal robe while trying to straighten my crown of persistence that started lose its shine by the day. December 31, 2020 was the day I returned my tarnished counterfeit copper crown and purchased a solid gold one that weighed as heavy as its purchase price. The copper crown was riddled with "dreams, aspirations, fantasies and good intentions" while the gold crown is riddled with "goals, strategies, truth, and determination". The price? Recognition, admission, acceptance and honesty. A hefty price for someone to pay who was used to running and hiding without realizing it.

The Path from Dreams to Goals
2020 was a year of mixed emotions. LinkedIn feed turned from job vacancy posts to job search posts. News from the relatives was almost always about someone getting the coronavirus. Most of them recovered except for an unfortunate few. On a personal front, it was a good year for me. Being a newly married couple, I spent more time with my husband. Also, there was no commute to work, so we had extra time, which otherwise would have been spent on traffic. We're from Bangalore, India, and if there's one thing Bangalore is famous for, it's traffic. Don't believe me? Google it and see for yourself.
