Monday, May 21: Here are Cee’s Life Questions for this week. I found these to be especially tough (except #1 of course)… 🙂
Are you left- or right-handed?
I’m right-handed. I can’t do anything with my left hand!
What is one thing you love about being an adult?
I love it that I can just head off into the wild blue yonder at a moment’s notice. That’s not just about being an adult though, that’s about having no entanglements, no one to answer to (except my employer). The only drawback: it can be lonely.
What do I need to unlearn?
Impatience. Intolerance of other people’s irritating behaviors.
me doing what means success ~ traveling: in Beijing, China, September 2010
What is success for me?
First, there are everyday successes. They are all bundled up with travel. Taking a trip all alone, navigating and figuring out logistics, meeting & laughing with new people along the way, seeing and photographing beautiful and interesting things, basking in moments of pure bliss at an outdoor cafe or outside in nature, and then writing about them in my blog. All of that gives me great satisfaction and feels like what I imagine success to be! 🙂
The ultimate success for me would be getting my novel published, then writing more novels and getting them published. And then writing and publishing travel books like one of my travel-writing heroes, Pico Iyer (The Lady and the Monk, Video Night in Kathmandu). Yes. That’s success.

very funny you and such a bicycle!
greetings by
Frizz, thanks for sharing such a great collection of bicycles from around the world! Love them!!
My idea of success would be a lot like youre 🙂 Neat post.
I’m glad we share this idea of success, Madhu! I think we do enjoy many of the same things!! 🙂
I have to admit to you I envy your freddom to travel, I covet your travels. How wonderful. I think that those are trerric successes and you have so much to be proud of. Being an independant woman today is not all as easy as some make to be. I don’t think many women can honestly do it. So Kudos my friend!
The rest of your relieswere enjoyable, love hetting to know you more.Really awesome photo~
Thank you Baroness! I wish I could travel more, but as you know it costs money and vacation time, both of which are in short supply. I try to travel locally in Oman as much as possible, and luckily, as long as I don’t go to Muscat, it’s all free ~ just the cost of a tank of petrol (which is cheap here!)
May you get your novel published and become real famous. I enjoyed your answers as always Cathy!
Thank you, Cee, for your good wishes for my novel. I hope someday to get it published and then work on another. Right now I seem to be caught up in writing my blog of my experiences here. It’s mainly for myself that I write, so I’ll remember my life here. I won’t be here forever, and once I leave, I’ll probably never come back. There are too many other places in the world to see. But I really need to find time to focus on getting that novel wrapped up! I don’t necessarily care about fame, per se, I just want to see my book in print, and find people who can relate to the characters…. 🙂
So many questions! Would you do me the honour of accepting the Kreativ Blogger Award Cathy please? The details are in my post http://restlessjo.wordpress.com/2012/05/22/kreativly-tagged/
Yes, thank you Jo! I would love to accept! You are so sweet to think of me. I will work on it this weekend…. 🙂
