Mauritius Living – Doing The Expat Thing
Having lived in Mauritius for the past year and having been visiting Cape Town for the past 6 weeks I’ve been haunted by the fact that ‘home, doesn’t feel like home anymore’. Visiting friends and family, frequenting favorite places that we’ve missed in our time away. Coming from an island where these things aren’t possible …
I dragged myself out of bed this morning to go for a walk as I’m daily reminded that summer is around the corner and I’ve got a few more kilo’s to shed before buying a new swimming cozzie. Seeing all the tourists on the beach is adding to the angst as one can feel summer …
A friend posted the following quote on Facebook this morning and it hit a nerve. The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away. – Pablo Picasso These days life is all about ‘finding your purpose’. For years this question has completely stumped me. How do …
I read a post the other day on Steemit about the fact that we are molded by our experiences. I’ve been mulling this over for the past week or so thinking of how to interpret it. Do I perceive this statement to be positive or negative? Do I want to reflect my life’s experiences? Especially …
It is Monday morning and I feel compelled to come up with some amazing thoughts to start of the new week and normally I have tons of ideas but this morning…..nada, zip, no inspiration what to write at all! Truth be told…. The mind has gone a bit blank this morning. I’ve got a list …
I’m still within the morning hours frame this morning low and behold!! Although I’ve been thinking to rather change the heading for this to #randomramblings as I am often not in time for the morning posts that i’ve originally planned because often life gets in the way. I’ve been up and about early and decided …
I am most probably one of the most UNORGANIZED/DISORGANIZED people you may ever have the (dubious) pleasure of meeting!! I do NOT plan my blogs ahead. I do NOT schedule posts! I do not have reminders on my phone! I am convinced I’ll just remember everything off the top of my head……hahahahha and I do…mostly! …
On my beach walk this morning I once again saw something that made me think. I saw an old man that was obviously out early to catch some fish before he started his day. What caught my attention, making me stop and watch him for a bit, was the care he took with cleaning his …
It’s a dreary wet Friday on my rock but I am not complaining as I am thoroughly enjoying the cooler weather although it has a slight impact on one’s mood I must admit. It puts me in a contemplative mood and I sit and think about life. Grey weather makes me feel grey too. Especially …
It’s Thursday morning and I am TIRED!! Am I the only one feeling this? I am ashamed to say it out loud as I am not actually employed at the moment and I fill my day with activities and things of my own creation so I shouldn’t be allowed to complain or should I? Point …
