I have been on the receiving end of some wonderful hospitality this week – and my soul has been blessed. There was such a warm welcome extended by the hosts – time given for all the guests to greet one another – followed by a wonderful meal – around a table of interesting conversations. I…
‘When Enough Is Enough’
This morning I was peddling away on my exercise bike – something I try to do each day – when I said to myself – “enough – I need to stop before I push myself too far”. This got me thinking of the number of times when – particularly as I have got older –…
‘Your Unique Shape’
Over the past two or three weeks – I have been indulging in one of my favourite pastimes – challenging myself – with jigsaw puzzles – this is something that I tend to engage in at this time of the year – whiling away those long dark days. The latest puzzle is composed of so…
‘Healing Rain’
The morning was heavy – rain clouds covered the sky – releasing the rain to fall in abundance. I had a choice to make – miss my first walk of the day – or – brave the elements – and walk in the rain. I recalled the many times over the years – when I…

‘Generosity Displayed’

‘Time To Recharge’
I have been having problems with my laptop over recent weeks – but today – when I opened it up to begin my blog post – it simply wouldn’t even switch on. I tried and tried – to no effect – and was beginning to think that I had no alternative – but to work…
‘Mission Accomplished’
A few weeks ago – I set myself a task – a mission – and that was to plant quite a large number of spring bulbs in our garden – well – for me it was a large amount! This week I had the great satisfaction of seeing that mission accomplished. I do so love…
