‘Questions’

I love the ease with which I can find answers to so many questions – and in fact – do find myself wanting an answer to something – almost everyday. During my growing up years – in order to find answers to help with my schoolwork etc – I would have to refer to the…

‘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…

‘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’

To say I have been disappointed this past week – is quite an understatement. It has been a week when everything seems to have gone wrong – so many plans – were suddenly thrown into disarray- and we had to deal with many dashed expectations. It hasn’t been easy – far from it – but…

‘The Changing Shape Of Dreams’

It’s been amazing this past week – to be able to share in the wedding of my friend’s daughter – in South Africa – via Social media. I received so many wonderful photos – and although she has been so busy hosting family and friends – she has given her time each day – to…

‘Looking Back – While Moving Forward’

This past week – we had the privilege of looking back at the life of my sister in law – a long life – shared by many. And although it was a sad occasion – it was good to be able to hear so many shared memories of her – and – I love how…

‘It Could Be Worse’

I have to admit that I don’t like the cold – and these last few days have felt very cold to me! Yet – the thought struck me that – where I live – we are certainly not experiencing as much cold and disruption as many other areas are. Our roads are mainly clear –…

‘Trying Something New’

This year a dear friend sent me a gift – of an Advent Calendar. I had never seen one quite like it – and of course didn’t even know what it was like until – as instructed – I opened it on December 1st. It was an Advent Calendar – for the – ‘coffee lover’…
