Carol Burnett Quote

What’s Up With Pooj?

I spent yesterday afternoon watching Little Miss Sunshine. Well, rewatching it. Such a fantastic movie. If you haven’t seen it already, I would so recommend it.

I’ve been out most of today so not much has been going on with me. Before that, I was mostly home napping lol. Oh, and I’ve been watching this show called A Murder At The End Of The World. So far, it’s amazing. I’ll write a review when I’m done.

I’m going out after quite a while today and y’all it’s still so hot in Kenya. Like I am turning into a baked potato out here. And still somehow unable to get a freaking tan. I used to be so nice and tan when I was a teenager. But I’m slowly starting to look like a vampire these days.

I picked this Carol Burnett quote because sometimes I come really close to giving up on my dream. I almost shut down this blog, my social pages and disappeared into the night without leaving a trace. I’m so glad I didn’t though. Like SO glad. Anyway, sometimes I just need a little reminder to not let go of my dreams and this quote is it. This is mine (and your) reminder to hold on tightly to our dreams.

What I’m listening to this week:

    It’s a good quotation, and I’m delighted you kept the blog and all. Early in her career, Carol Burnett starred in a TV production of Once Upon a Mattress. She was physical and funny. From all we know of her career, she did not let go. Sorry about the heat in Kenya. I wonder if Canada and Kenya compare much.

      Thanks so much. I’m glad I kept the blog too, where would I be without it. I don’t know too much about her but I’ve seen some clips on YouTube and she does sound very amusing.
      Oh it’s not bad at all compared to Canada. It’s only like what the start of summer/end of spring is like. But for Kenya that’s really hot because it’s always really cool weather here.

    I love little Miss Sunshine, what a great movie!

    You have so many people loving your posts, if you feel like giving it all up, just step away for a bit, figure put what you need, i.e. more sleep, food, tea, some human contact, a little therapy… counseling or massage, and just hang out quietly.

    When we most feel lime doing something drastic, that’s usually the time we actually shouldn’t! The thing we’re seeking to be drastic with, often isn’t the actual problem!

    When we can figure out the source of our overwhelm, we can then find our way out! 😉🫠

      Thank you. Fortunately, it’s been quite a while since I thought about giving up blogging. Now that I have a better schedule and routine it’s pretty easy to manage. Will still be going for a massage soon though lol.

      Yeah, absolutely. I think drastic actions are just a way to run away from our problems!

    As for me this week is really busy. Trying to clean up after a renovation, catch up on blog-reading, and I’m judging in a professional competition, and still make time to get miles on my bike.

One or two more times being blocked from leaving NICE comments might just have me saying good by to a lot of friends on that platform. It is terribly mismanaged!

    Pooja, I like what Kate said. You can always “go on a sabbatical” and leave it for a while. Just let us know so we don’t worry 😉

    Maybe you need to reconsider your reason(s) for blogging. Is there a way you can focus your efforts on 1 or 2 things to suit your expectations better?

    What a coincidence, I am watching the Carol Burnett show on Prime 😀

    As for deleting the blog, I am glad you didn’t. I just came back after taking a break from WP (didn’t visit my blog, or anyone elses and uninstalled the jetpack app on my phone) and it was good for me. I still had posts scheduled, but I just took a break from the social side. It was, not quite refreshing, good for me. I feel like I can continue fighting WP for another couple of months now…

    I … LOVE … that movie. I saw it in theaters a few centuries ago and at the time I hadn’t seen anything that was simultaneously hilarious and super dark. It’s more common now, many years later, but that was one of the first.

    It’s funny that you say you can’t tan but compared to me you look like you’ve been in the sun for months. 😅 Obviously we have wildly different base skin tones so it’s just what we’re used to. My skin only has two states, clear and red (a friend of mine used to have an Indian roommate who referred to white people as “cleary” hahah).

    Carol Burnett found a winning philosophy that worked for her. Many people give up their dreams (or sabotage them) too soon but I suppose some others may make the mistake of not being flexible enough to adjust their dreams as they learn and grow into wiser versions of themselves.

    Loved that quote and loved Carol Burnett, A funny and great lady. Sorry it is so hot in Kenya but shouldn’t autumn start making it cooler? It is spring here in the US and I’m in Florida and that means that when the summer comes I will be the one feeling like a baked potato. Our summers are brutally hot. Keep up the good fight and hold on to your dreams. That is the best any of us can do and for an introvert like me my writing, blogging, and poetry are what keep me going and enjoying life online,

      Thanks so much. We usually only have two seasons in Kenya, rainy and dry. At the moment it should be rainy but it’s still extremely hot. I’m hoping it cools down soon.
      Oh yeah, I’ve heard summers in Florida are particularly hot. Hope it’s not too bad this year.
      Thank you, I feel the same way. I’m very introverted and quiet too so writing is my main form of expression.

    Great quote Pooja! At times grabbing the dream is a privilege or opportunity, but one thing I surely believe is if you persevere and you are determined to fulfill the dream, you will bring yourself closer to fulfillment…and, not to sound pessimistic 😉 but at times in the process of the fulfillment of the dream you might even realize that the dream was an illusion or something with which you might no longer relate…

      That is so true, I think our dreams change over time and that’s totally okay. Thanks for your wonderful comment 😊
