This week we celebrate our 59th wedding anniversary – and as I look back – all those years ago – I wonder if I really understood the true meaning of – ‘love’. There was a cartoon that we loved to follow – simply called – ‘Love Is – – -‘ and we identified with so…

‘Worth The Risk’
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…
‘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 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…
‘Go With The Flow’
Over the past few days – we have at last seen the much needed rain – descending on the dry ground. After enjoying weeks of warm and sunny days – being able to tend to my plants – and work in the garden – I am suddenly faced with having to change my plans –…
‘Living In The Moment’
I am so glad that I followed a piece of advice that I was given this past week. My brother – from Australia – was staying – but his time here was drawing to a close. It had been a wonderful time – but I was beginning to almost dread having to say goodbye. So…
