I’m sure some of you have contenders, but I think it will be difficult to beat the one I received last year. It was given to me by a friend of mine after a very difficult year. The year had begun with young Daniel coming home from hospital just before Christmas. He had been diagnosed … More The most thoughtful Christmas present I have ever received.
Oh that’s a really good idea for a post. I can’t wait to write it. But first I must get home. How will I start…? Yes, perfect, that should work. But first I must make dinner. Now where was I..? Oh yes, I can see where this is going. But first I must get the … More Bloggers, does this sound familiar?
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?
I read a facebook comment from an online friend which made me stop and think. For her at the moment life is far from ideal. Even though I’m sure she will have a lovely Christmas it is not quite the Christmas she would have dreamed of. As I struggled for something ‘wise’ to say to … More A Merry 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. When we lose someone close to us we grieve, but sad as it is, it can actually have … More I have learned a great lesson.
Are you a talker or a doer? Some one who talks about a problem, or someone who wants to fix it? Last week here in Ireland, a man named Johnathan Corrie was found dead on a doorstep, only yards from our government building. He had been homeless for many years with a variety of personal … More What sort of a person are you?
What sort of child have you? A trier, a winner, a worker? I coach almost every day, and each session I coach reminds me of life. There is the early part when things are easy, the swimmers are chatting, and the session is manageable. Everyone is in good form and there is a buzz around … More What sort of swimmer would your child be?
It is nearly the dreaded week. The anniversary week. The week we try to ‘act’ normal. The week we smile, chat and live our busy lives, all the while distracted. For we who knew young Daniel, will spend most of this week living in the past. Thinking of this week last year, this day last … More This week, my friend, I wish ‘To Mother You’.
Sometimes there are just too many goodbyes in life. Today, as we do every Thursday, my friend and I went calling on our pal, an elderly gentleman in his 80s, who I have written about before here. We had, as we do every Thursday, a wonderful morning of chat, and stories, shared over a cup … More Thursdays, will never be the same again.
Do you ever look at your life and think.. I want more. You know there is no reason for your dissatisfaction, and that life is indeed good, but… You want more money. You want a different job. You want to be a stay at home mother. You definitely do not want to be a stay … More I want…. more.
