This week we embarked upon one of our annual traditions – a day trip to a favourite seaside resort. We have undertaken this trip for several years now – and – it has it’s own traditions. We walk from one end of the resort to the other – aiming for strategic places – to pause…
‘Wings To Fly’
Sometimes I will jot down a phrase – or even just a word – that I have either read or heard – that speaks to me – and save it to ponder on at a later date. ‘Wings to fly’ – was one of those small phrases that has continued to stay with me –…
‘I Did It’
We have just spent a few amazing days in London – something I have wished to do for a while – and as we had three significant birthdays to celebrate between us this year – that certainly warranted something special. It’s many years since I was there – and the plan was – that we…
‘Labels And Boxes’
It’s always interesting to me – how people seem to love to put labels on others – or to put them into boxes. Only the other day – speaking with a friend – she touched on this subject – which gave me food for thought – for my blog post this week. I have found…

‘Life Is A Balance’
I’ve been thinking this week about ‘balance’ – as I have tried to work out how to manage to do the things I want to do – with the restrictions that my knee is placing on me. It’s certainly not something that I find easy to do – for so much is out of my…
‘Allowing Time’
It’s been a very different week for me this past week – as I have struggled with acute pain – and not been able to walk – due to a cyst behind my knee. It’s been a challenge – as I have faced the fact that I can do nothing about the situation – but…
‘My Aging Body’
