So – this week I was suddenly struck down with a vicious stomach bug – finding myself in that helpless position – where I couldn’t muster up any energy to fight it off – I simply had to allow – ‘the blows to fall’ – and for that first onslaught to abate – and simply…
‘I Feel like Hibernating’
I came across a quote – that for me – expresses how I feel – on these cold winter days. This is how it goes – “I’m pretty sure some humans were intended to hibernate all winter – I’m also sure – that I am one of those humans. Wake me in April”. It seems…
‘A Cause For Celebrations’
This week marks the seventh anniversary of my blog posts – and to me – it’s worth celebrating that fact. Never did I imagine – when I first plucked up the courage to publish anything that I had written – that I would still be continuing to do so – seven years later. They do…

‘New Season – New Possibilities’
I have spent some time this past week – rekindling my interest in water colour painting – something that has been sorely neglected over the past months. As I reflected on this – I realised – that it has been due mainly to the fact – that the past seasons have been full of so…
‘The Simplicity Of Joy’
One day – while on holiday recently – my husband declared that – ‘it had been a magical day’. Now – although I had planned the day with his happiness in mind – I knew that it was impossible for anyone to fully – ‘create a magical day’ – and in fact – the day…
