Okay, you know what? I’m not even going to attempt one of the crazy “z-words”. Instead, I am grateful to everyone, who accompanied me this month and read my articles for each letter of the alphabet. Maybe I’ll do it again in the fall, with the season being my theme? Stay tuned to find out. Thank you so much for your visits to my blog, for your likes, comments and general interest in the topics I write about. Please take care and be well until our paths cross again, hopefully in the near future.

A-Z Challenge: YouTube
Sometimes I wish, someone would control my online time every day. The internet and all of those cool websites, or apps are like rabbit holes: time flies while you’re having fun. I was quite active on WordPress lately, as well as Canva [because I am “learning”]. But YouTube takes the cake, honestly.
Some people are so quick to judge, but truth be told, YouTube taught me quite a few things already. I’m not just watching craft videos, no. There are awesome tutorials about cooking and baking, how to make minor repairs around the apartment, you can find interesting documentaries, among other watch-worthy content. So, while I really should keep an eye on my daily screen time, I’m also trying to learn something new. And that is positive, don’t you think?

Ready For Takeoff
I would love the experience of being a pilot for one day. If it weren’t for the impossibility in real life, this would be my dream job 🛫
A-Z Challenge: X-Rays
We’ve all had x-rays taken a time or twenty-five. Almost eight years ago I had my last x-rays taken, because I had to have surgery on my left wrist for the second time. I hate that scar, because people who don’t know me always wonder whether or not I tried to slice my wrist open on purpose [definitely not, instead I broke it due to a slip and fall on black ice back in Wisconsin]. Therapists flat out ask – well they have to, I guess. In any event, it is not a preferred conversation starter.
Full Speed Mornings
I can best concentrate and am most productive early in the morning. As the day progresses, it takes increasingly more conscious effort to motivate myself and remain focused on the tasks at hand.

Eccentric Dingbat?
As of late, I truly enjoy conversations with my neighbor lady about spirituality. We seem to be equally open-minded, have similar experiences and thoughts about this fascinating topic. Now don’t get me wrong. I’m not the type of person, to run out and buy/read every book on the subject or watch every YouTube video known to mankind. I have, if at all, very limited knowledge about it, really. My own experiences kind of “shove me into that direction” now and again. My friend Jamie always told me, that I am blessed with the gift. She thinks that I should find someone who will work with me on developing it further. To be honest, while I’m intrigued by the thought of it on one hand, there’s also a sense of caution, with regard to the direction in which this may take me, on the other.
Overall, it is truly disappointing, that you still have to be very mindful in this day and age, with whom you talk about spirituality. Because at least in my extended family, or other people in my mom’s social circle will be all too happy to label you as “cuckoo” or as an “eccentric dingbat, who lost all touch with reality”, if you dare to bring up this topic. Luckily, my neighbor lady tells me time and again, how stimulating and interesting she thinks our conversations are. And I wholeheartedly agree with her.
A-Z Challenge: Wealth
“Riches, prestige, everything can be lost. But the happiness in your own heart can only be dimmed; it will always be there, as long as you live, to make you happy again.”
― Anne Frank
A-Z Challenge: Vacation
Do you remember me being all bonkers last year around this time, because my mom “had the audacity to force-vacation me”, on a cruise ship no less? And what do you know? It turned out to be – minor crises and challenges inclusive – an amazing experience over all. Well, we’re doing it again next month. For the last time, so it will be my top priority to make it a very special trip for my mom. This time, I am excited up to no Sunday, because I have a good idea of how it is going to be. Yay, vacation!! 🛫☀🛳
