THE STANDOFF IN THE YARD: A TALE OF COURAGE AND CHANGE

In the bustling yard of my childhood home, a peculiar friendship flourished between our pet dog, Poochie, and one of our hens. Despite their differences, they shared a bowl and roamed together. Poochie was always chasing the hens and chicks. But there came a day when the hen, tired of being relentlessly chased by Poochie, decided enough was enough. With a sudden change of heart, she halted, turned around, and began chasing the surprised dog instead. With tail tucked between his legs, Poochie beat a hasty retreat, never daring to chase the hen again. It was a showdown that left us all amused and taught us never to underestimate the feistiness of a determined hen.

Let this be a lesson in life for us that sometimes we have to stand our ground and show courage in the face of adversity. Just like the hen who decided to confront Poochie, we too can find strength within ourselves to face challenges head-on, no matter how daunting they may seem. It’s a reminder that even when we feel chased by life’s troubles, turning around and facing them can lead to newfound respect and peace.

"Facing it, always facing it, that's the way to get through. Face it." - Joseph Conrad

My son's girlfriend gifted me this beautiful crocheted bag. 

With a wink, she told me she got it from a very talented mouse named Maisie.

Meet Maisie.

Maisie crafted the bag with her nimble paws and magical touch.

FROM THE TRAVEL ARCHIVES

Belgium is waffle heaven!

In the lowlands of Malaysia, mist is a rare and mysterious visitor, typically gracing the highlands with its ethereal presence.

For those of us who dwell in the lowlands and are accustomed to sunny, clear, blue skies, the phenomenon transforms the familiar landscape into a realm of enigma.

Not sure why, but mist spooks me and sends a chill down my spine, perhaps because it evokes the eerie, suspenseful atmospheres often seen in horror movies, where danger lurks in the dense, swirling fog.

When I see mist, it conjures echoes of the haunting X-Files theme song.

                                          

But on a clear day, when the mice aren't spooked, a qiqong class takes place beneath the watchful gaze of the stone lions.
