Happy Friday

Some days hanging in there is your only option. You cannot quit, you cannot restart and you cannot do anything about the situation. As random as these words sound, my past few experiences have been totally and crazily out of my control. As I wind up this week, I show some kindness towards myself. Don't you think, we are way too hard on our self by putting up high expectations and unnecessary pressure? I definitely think so. 

 The road you are treading might be hard and you might already be doing the best. Show some kindness to yourself and appreciate yourself for very bit of work you put in. Happy weekend!

My little home garden

Continuing the spring fever, lets talk about the little green friends at my residence. These have survived thorugh the winter and learned to thrive. They adore the window sill and add pretty green decor to my rather boring living space. You can notice my not so good care for these little ones. But they are dear to me.

The succulents galore. These survived through the winter and through my ignorance towards them at times. They are greener and fresher every coming day and I water them rarely!

Here is my terrarium. The plants are growing well and the whole pot looks more fresh. One of the best things to have happened recently! It is sitting on the table right by the window and looks really adorable. That little striped aloe-looking plant is my favorite! It adds such a nice drama to the entire space. 

Happy Friday

 I recently completed reading Wild by Cheryl Strayed. A wonderfully written book which for some reason spoke very well to me. Reading through the different experiences Cheryl encounters, reminded me of my short yet exciting stay in California. I lived in the Bay Area for close to 10 months. My experiences were strange yet exciting in a way looking back. I did learn a lot and did have some wild experiences on my own. This snap is an ode to my days which I spent in California. 

Go have a wild weekend, Happy Friday!!

Happy Friday

Life presents so many choices everyday ranging from what coffee to order at your favorite cafe to more life-changing choices. Many a days I spend time reflecting over my choices and decisions. Today, I sit back to tell myself, the choices I have made have defined me and have shaped me into what I am today. I am more grateful for everything I have experienced  This humbles me down to be more thankful to have had choices to make rather than having none. 

This weekend I would rather take it easy and let go my regrets for my past choices and worry less about my future decisions. Would you? Happy weekend!

Colors of Spring

As I have written before, I love spring time in Northern Virginia. Everything is in bloom and there are so many colors around. I picked up my camera and took off on a photo-walk clicking all the pretty flowers around where I live. Given the wind and the fading day light, it wasnt the best of the time to get the best shots but they are here anyways. Worth making a post.
