#AtoZChallenge 2021 – I Often Over-Analyze


Life is but a never-ending chess match. One wrong move and you might lose.

3 days ago April 17, 2021 in AtoZ Challenge, Memoir.

#AtoZChallenge 2021 – I have Nyctophobia


I have Nyctophobia. It’s another word for an irrational fear of night or darkness. My brain and heart are fighting each other on this. My brain says this is an irrational fear but brain, can you please tell that to my heart when it’s thudding like a high-rhythmic beating drum when I’m in the dark?

#AtoZChallenge 2021 – I am Messy


“I have never met anyone messier than you. I don’t know how you can live like this,” my mom would often say.

5 days ago April 15, 2021 in AtoZ Challenge, Memoir.

#AtoZChallenge 2021 – I am Lack of…


I know I wrote about how I was capable of so many things but really, I’m someone who’s called “Jack of all trades and master of none.”

6 days ago April 14, 2021 in AtoZ Challenge, Memoir.

#AtoZChallenge 2021 – I am Klutzy


I am pretty klutzy, period. My mom used to singsong “clumsy, clumsy girl” whenever I fell down as a little girl. I think I fell because my mind was somewhere else, at least that’s why I fell and scraped my knees the last time, which was about a year ago.

7 days ago April 13, 2021 in AtoZ Challenge, Memoir.

#AtoZChallenge 2021 – I am Jovial


I consider myself to be a jovial person. It doesn’t take much to make me laugh, even if I feeling angry at the moment. I sometimes dislike this ability – to go from anger to laughter like a flip of a coin.

Lens-Artists Challenge #143: Colorful April


This week for the Lens-Artists Photo Challenge, we are challenged to share some colorful photos to represent the spring-like April.

1 week ago April 11, 2021 in Lens-Artist, Photography.

#AtoZChallenge 2021 – I am Impatient


I have often been told by my mom I am a patient person. “I don’t think I have the patience like yours to complete a 2000-piece jigsaw puzzle.” She’d say. So that’s what I’ve always thought – I am a patient person.

1 week ago April 10, 2021 in AtoZ Challenge, Memoir.

#AtoZChallenge 2021 – I am Hopeful


I don’t recall when I developed this ridiculously hopeful attitude toward life – that everything will get better eventually, that something is better than nothing, glass is half-full kind of person.

2 weeks ago April 9, 2021 in AtoZ Challenge, Memoir.

#AtoZChallenge 2021 – I am working on being Generous


“Don’t be so selfish,” my mom would chide whenever I refuse to help or whenever I refuse to share food with somebody. I hated being called that because I feel like that’s all I’ve been doing my whole life – sharing and never getting enough for myself.

2 weeks ago April 8, 2021 in AtoZ Challenge, Memoir.

#AtoZChallenge 2021 – I Have Feelings, Too


When I was in middle school or high school, my mom would often point out teasingly that I have a low EQ (emotions quotient), sort of like low IQ except with emotions.

2 weeks ago April 7, 2021 in AtoZ Challenge, Memoir.

#AtoZChallenge 2021 – I am Easygoing


I consider myself to be an easygoing person but of course, because of my doubtfulness, I am not certain I’m viewed as this person in some people’s eyes. In the past, I’ve had people give me conflicted ideas – people tell me I’m mean, people tell me I’m too nice and need to be meaner…

#AtoZChallenge 2021 – I am Capable


Sometimes, I wish I can go to the top of a mountain and scream, “I am a capable person.”

April 3, 2021 in AtoZ Challenge, Memoir.

#AtoZChallenge 2021 – I am a Believer


If you are a regular follower of this blog, you will know I write plenty of flash fiction and short stories about weird things – ghosts, vampires, and other supernatural things as well as some other weird things.

April 2, 2021 in AtoZ Challenge.

#AtoZChallenge 2021 – I am Adaptable


When life gives you lemons, you do whatever the hell you can with it.

It’s stressful and frustrating to have someone always say negative things about your stuff because it constantly makes you think “What can I do to make it better?”

Beautiful blossoms
Spring has sprung!
Spent early Sunday morning at Snowbasin, though it looks like winter is still lingering in this part of the woods, the #landscapes certainly were #breathtaking
The search for autumn colors continues...
I'm always looking for #inspirations to make my photos or to take a second glance at photos taken a while back. This is the latest. I took this when I #hikes the Three Lakes Divide Loop in August 2020.
Of all the pictures I took on the hike, these have to be my favorite.
