There are days when I wake up and think, ‘that was a poxy sleep’, closely followed by, ‘it’s raining again’. Even though I’m generally a happy person there are times a plethora of negative thoughts swirl around me and I feel generally irritated and fed up. This morning was such a morning. The August bank … More Take a moment…
I’d rarely ask for anything like this, but there is only twenty four hours left. Some of you may remember a post I did last year about an amazing man called Pa Curran who lost his best friend in an accident. His friends organs were donated and as Pa heard the helicopter fly away, carrying … More Good people deserve good things. Please help.
One of my biggest regrets in life is that my dad died before I made a life for myself. He wasn’t there to give me away ( a job brilliantly done by my younger brother), nor did he meet any of my four children. I would love for them to have known him in person, … More What if?
What if this was your last Christmas. What would you wish for as a gift? I’m sure I’m not alone when it comes to not being overly organised at Christmas, that I’m not the only one who finishes their Christmas shopping on Christmas eve. Every year I begin shopping early December believing I’ll sail through … More What do I really want for Christmas?
Do you know the important things in life? Do you find yourself stressing about the everyday? Do you go to bed with regrets? Since young Daniel died I am changed forever. However that is not all bad.

My son is working for a short while next to a prison. He has led a sheltered nineteen years, and is fascinated watching those coming and going. He has the very responsible job of gate person! Some of those visiting the prison call to him mistaking the site for the actual prison. Today at dinner … More Judgement Day.
Todays second chance repost comes from the blog of faithmummy. This is one blogger I follow whose writing is deserving of many many readers. It is impossible to read what she writes and not be moved and inspired by her. She was given two special children, but they too were given a very special mother. … More Sometimes I cry.
Today is Easter Sunday. “Easter” what does it really mean to you? As a non believer what does it mean to me? My family are Catholic and I remember Easters of old. The “celebrations” began officially in our house in true Catholic style, with Good Friday. Don’t be fooled by the name, there is nothing … More Thank God for Easter!
Christmas in Ireland seems to be different to some other countries. Our Christmas celebrations begin for most of us on the 23rd of December, and continue until the first Monday in January. In effect two weeks off work. It is an eagerly awaited holiday. One in which family is of the utmost importance. We all … More I’d prefer to be remembered in the pub than in the Church.
I have really tried to write today. However I have trashed it all. It’s Christmas time and I am just not able to write about anything, but the sadness I feel for my friend on the loss of her lovely son. So in order to spare you my misery I am going to do a … More More than words can ever say.
