There I am in the paper #62

May 28, 2018

Another of my ‘It’s my life’ column from the Irish Examiner’s Feelgood. Do I hold grudges? Certainly not. At least that’s what I thought about myself. However, recently my children pointed out, that they don’t believe I’m the person I imagine myself to be. Really? ‘Mum, there are not enough bullets for the number of … More There I am in the paper #62

There I am in the paper #55

March 19, 2018

My latest from the Irish Examiner’s Feelgood. You’d never guess my birthday was approaching when I wrote it? At what age do we become old? Is it an actual number or a state of mind?

Today was a day which I had been putting off for some time. I had hidden away and ignored all the signs. However it was no longer practical to continue along this line. I had to be brave.

Christmas in November!

November 9, 2013

My youngest and I went into town today to do some clothes shopping. Everywhere we went she would exclaim, “Oh look, I see Christmas lights”. They were not even turned on yet, but just the sight of them excited her. Now that Halloween is over, Christmas is all she can think about. Last week she … More Christmas in November!
