Obvious really . . .

Saying it out loud . . .
This was just one of many chalkboard messages seen while recently passing through a U.K. train station … If that’s true, then yes, I hope that men do say it more often. But I’m more interested in the fact that this and other rather lovely messages had been posted in a public place for many… Read More Saying it out loud . . .
Reboot . . .
I’d been battling with the WiFi connection at home on my phone. All other devices working perfectly, just the phone that wasn’t. I searched for an answer and tried many things … false hope every time; some gave me momentary respite, but more often than not, the proposed solution just didn’t work. And then I… Read More Reboot . . .
From the depths . . .
“Now I find hidden somewhere away in my nature something that tells me that nothing in the whole world is meaningless, and suffering least of all. That something hidden away in my nature, like a treasure in a field, is Humility. It is the last thing left in me, and the best: the ultimate discovery… Read More From the depths . . .

Actor Hannah Parkes shares how she deals with rejection: “You’re allowed to feel bad but only for a short time. I give myself between an hour and a day, but then you have to move on.” Where are you right now? Holding on, letting go, or moving on?
Reality check . . .
“Those who have much are often greedy; those who have little always share. I would not a bit mind sleeping in the cool grass in summer, and when winter came on sheltering myself by the warm close-thatched rick, or under the penthouse of a great barn, provided I had love in my heart … Of… Read More Reality check . . .
Dreams can come true . . .
I do try to be patient. I really do. But this is the dilemma – Say nothing, and the frustration builds up inside, and my beloved (a counsellor) tells me that’s not good. Say something, and my beloved hears that as criticism, negativity, impatience. The context? Helping him (yet again) with an IT challenge. … Read More Dreams can come true . . .
Do you like Mondays?
I couldn’t resist. Which will it be? “Monday is a sloppy umbrella day, which makes everybody a little blue. Cole, dropping by my office in the morning, wastes no time in blowing off steam. “You can TAKE this DAY and SHOVE IT where the SUN DOESN’T SHINE,” he growled. “Too late. Somebody already DID THAT.”… Read More Do you like Mondays?
