In the autumn of our lives

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

After a 12 day break from walking in the morning, I returned to experience the full colours of Autumn in the trees and on the grounds.  I may not like the cold and wet but I do find the colours so much richer and I love it. With my foot feeling ...

Trying to balance

Tuesday, September 15th, 2009

'No-one, even those closest to me, knows what I have had to go through to get to where I am now.  Why then do you resent what I have?' A few weeks before my identity theft saga started (see http://notthenews.net) , I told my mother that I could not find it ...

The meaning of karma

Friday, May 1st, 2009

I tend to use the word karma to describe the calm, peaceful balance.  Something that disturbs this state is said to be upsetting my karma.  I recently decided to look it up the proper meaning of the word and am horrified to discover that it doesn't mean anything like that ...

Spirituality and being an atheist.

Tuesday, January 20th, 2009

Monday, January 5th, 2009

Well this is it, 2009 before we could even catch our breaths, everything's back to normal. Have you made any resolutions?  I have, but not because I think that one year turning into another will make it any different, just that it does provide a good excuse to try harder at ...

Inspiration and motivation.

From this moment on…..

I have started dreaming again

Saturday, December 15th, 2007

I have started dreaming again.  I mean the kind of dreaming that you do awake not the usually forgotten sleep process.  No, I mean those vivid, colourful day dreams that  make you feel good,  make you want to reach out and touch them.  You can call it hope if you want to.  Dreaming again ...
