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’
Daily – I am realising – that this aging body of mine simply cannot go on at the same pace it once did. Things that were once easy – are becoming more and more of a challenge – or as this quote puts it – I have reached an age – where my mind says…
‘A Different Approach’

‘Waiting For The Right Time’
These past weeks have been so interesting – as I have watched the seeds I planted sprout up – and then – nurtured my seedlings – and watched them grow. All the windowsills in the house are full of them – and lovely though it has been to watch them each day – I have…
‘Those Special Connections’
I am so grateful – for those close connections – that I have been so privileged to have during my life time – and indeed – for those that I still enjoy today. They are – “Connections – inexplicable – by the laws of place – and time”. They have happened at various times in…
‘When Everything Goes Wrong’
