The Possession of a Preoccupied Mind

Hey, how you doin'?  No, I am not rewatching Friends for the zillionth time.  It's just that I hate to start traditionally.  I'm in a conflicting situation: some of my readers like my conversational tone, but apparently it isn't quite acceptable to the publication agencies. Two of my best-appreciated stories were rejected because of their tone. The rejection felt like a jolt that I could practically feel in my head, especially the second one.  Since that day, I've been caught up in a vicious loop of boredom because I stopped writing anything new.   I also called off a new transcription gig that promised me some good money, but the client was a tad bit of a scoundrel in his behaviour.  So here I am, having voluntarily stepped away from both writing and work, and somehow managing to be bored out of my mind. Pretty efficient, ain't I? I'm in that peculiar state where I don't want to do anything to kill time, yet somehow want the time to pass joyfully. I ...

Your Ultimate Guide To Know About: What is Arthritis of the Spine

Arthritis commonly affects the body's joints, but arthritis of the spine specifically targets the spine. This condition arises when inflammation develops in the facet joints or sacroiliac joints , which connect the pelvis to the spine. As a result, a person experiences intense pain in the neck or lower back, depending on the affected area. Spinal arthritis can develop anywhere along the spine, but most often occurs in the cervical (neck) or lumbar (lower back) regions.  What is Arthritis of the spine?  Spinal arthritis is an inflammatory condition. Here, the facet joints—small connections between the vertebrae—become inflamed. The sacroiliac joints, which link the pelvis to the spine, may also be affected. Inflammation in these joints causes severe pain, stiffness, and a restricted range of motion in the affected area.  Types of Spine Arthritis  Spinal arthritis can develop at any location along the spine, but it most commonly occurs in the neck and lower back.

To Know What It Means To Be Nice

Have you ever been nice to others, like friends, with the expectation of them being nice back to you?  Or at least nice to you when you are at your lowest of the lows.  Speaking of nice, what exactly does being nice refer to, and how do you be that? The thing is, although it may seem that I am about to lecture you on niceness, I, too, have a very vague understanding of it.  Just the other day, I was thinking about a friend and how abruptly I got out of touch with her. At first, I thought it was an end, but here's a truth slap: getting out of touch doesn't put an end to a relationship. Here, in this case, the relationship was a friendship. I admit I was not bosom to her, and she already had a clan, and where in the clan I stood, was in the peripheral.  Anyway, back to the niceness topic.  Like I have said, I have had a hazy grasp on niceness, but later in life, I understood that it is how to be "appropriately nice" to someone in distress that counts, and that's ...
