Men it’s time to stop reading! My secret ladies is dishonesty. Well perhaps that is a little blunt, but for myself who has been married over twenty years, dishonesty works perfectly. In fact now that I think of it most days begin and end with a lie. Let me explain. As my husband is an … More Ladies (only) tonight I share the secret to a long and happy marriage.
We often ask the question of people, “Are you a glass half full or half empty sort of person?”, but wondering if a person is quick to forgive is not so common. However today the daily prompt is asking just that. And I ask myself what sort of an individual am I? My initial thought … More Do we ever really forgive and forget?
Warning trigger alert. Unlike previous posts there is humour in this one! If you knew me in real life I wonder what you would think of me? I’m certainly, in the words of my mother, “no oil painting”, and as for my age, well once again to quote my Mom “I wouldn’t tear at the … More Better out than in!
Today I watched a friend as she said a last goodbye to her son. Life over just when it should have been beginning. A much loved precious child. A first born. An eldest son. A big brother. As I looked around at so many tall strong young men mourning their friend I thought of my … More When the past is all we have.
Have you ever cursed your luck as you travel slowly behind a learner driver? We all sympathise with them but no one wants to share the road with one.

And in that moment, as silence takes hold, we communicate on a whole different level. Looking at you … More A conversation in silence.

Can you remember a time when if you heard that your heart would race? Now you’re a parent of a toddler and it has a whole new meaning. You haven’t had a nights sleep in eighteen months. Memory, humor, disposition, judgement have all become seriously impaired. Enough is enough. Other people have managed it. Tonight … More Tonight’s the night!
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!
Last night I was in the best of moods. Holidays had begun. I had that Friday feeling and more, as I began a weeks holiday. Gathered in a friends house the atmosphere was party like, two families enjoying friendly banter. Life felt good. Then the phone rang. As I reached for it, for a moment … More One phone call, and life changes forever.
