‘Love Is ………

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…

Dreams

I’m excited to realise that in a very short time – one of our grandsons will embark upon a new career choice – that will be the beginning of realising a dream. Yet – even as I write that – I am not sure that he has always had this dream – because – “Sometimes…

‘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…

‘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…

‘A Different Approach’

Before my brother returned to Australia – he gave us all a very thoughtful gift. Mine was a jigsaw puzzle – but – one that was unique and unlike anything that I had seen before. It was made of many small – and unusual – wooden shapes – and the puzzle itself was in the…

‘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 –…
