day 680 | july 14, 2013 | Binky Bunnies

Nine years ago, I met a boy who takes care of two rabbits, and keeps a book titled "Rabbits for Dummies." That to me was a sign. Here's someone who cares about the littlest of creatures, and had the earnest heart to grow his knowledge in any manner available to him -- A nutty geek like me. He built his rabbits a three-storey home, and gave them fresh vegetables with every opportunity. I learned from him what a 'binky' is. It's the happiest expression a rabbit can have, where they jump up and do head-to-toe twists mid-air. He showed me a bunny's happy dance. Years later, I am still proud to say I married that boy.

Stuff that make me happy: Roo and Red, Travel, Financial Independence, and Passing It On

Life's single most complex challenge is that of mastering your time. We all have 365 days in a year, 24 hours in a day, and 60 minutes in an hour. When quantified that way, it's actually pretty simple. It should be no surprise where time goes, yet most days, I find myself feeling the inadequacy of hours. I wish there was a 'pause' button on life. Time just trickles by, and more often than not, we are caught unawares that it's run out.
