At the end of each week, I summarize in my head all the things I managed to accomplish and those items still lingering.  With that list I try to see the good in all that I’ve done, and what I’ve learned from the bad things that happened and try hard not to repeat them.  And then I wonder if I am an oddball in the way I feel or think. That is until I am surrounded by folks in gatherings of sorts, when I realize we are all the same in the ways we think, do, feel, stress and even be happy about.

This past week I attended several gatherings.  A farewell dinner for a very close co-worker. The Armenian Food Festival in San Francisco, and an employee appreciation lunch cruise around the bay area, and in those environments I was able to once again confirmed what I’ve known but choose to tune out about how we are all the same no matter the race, and culture and upbringing.

To keep this topic very light and airy, as I want to keep it, I share with all of you the following topics I came across  in tune with my recent pondering and perhaps even mood. Here we go:

I watched a television show last night on Netflix call The Very British Problem, and the more I watched it the more I realized, what they are all describing is something we all do here in America.

This article asks the very question – tell us about yourself – which I found interesting

And then there is this one, are all travel bloggers looking the same? Which raised my eyebrows for sure – since I am one who loves to write about travel.

Do we get wiser the older we become? Or Is it just a saying? Here’s that discussion, as I ponder over the fact, am I getting wiser or possibly more resentful? Hmmm.

Please do share your thoughts – we’d love to hear from you.
