‘Challenged – But Not Defeated’
There’s a sense in which – since I turned 80 – it seems I have faced more and more challenges. And yet – as I look back over my life – i realise that in fact – there have been many challenges to overcome. “Being challenged in life is inevitable – Being defeated is an…
‘Keep Trying’
I had been so excited this year – when the courgettes – that I had grown from seed – seemed to be doing so well. However – you can probably imagine my disappointment – when as the first courgettes began to grow – it became obvious that all was not well. I realised that the…

‘Grateful For Another Year’
This week I celebrate another birthday – and can’t believe how quickly this last year seems to have passed. As I turn another year older – I am thankful for another chance to be here – to breathe – to choose my direction – to love and be loved – “Another year older – another…
‘Daily Inspiration’
It’s interesting – that as I sat to gather my thoughts for this blog post – I was conscious of how I can find constant inspiration – from even the fairly simple life that I lead these days. I was reminded that – when I wrote my first blog post – just over eight years…
