Read More FragmentedIt’s good to know that the injustices in the world will not be allowed to stand. It’s good to know there are people who are caring and helping the vulnerable in the world. It’s good to know as night falls that those who would otherwise struggle in the cold and rain will find shelter and […]
Read More It’s Good to Know …I must confess, I have a soft spot for certain types of junk food. It’s in the best interests of my health that from time to time I stay off them for a period of time, before reintroducing them in the diet. I gotta say, one of the things I like is just the look […]
Read More FilledBlessed. Exemplifying that term is such a varied exercise. But it’s worth while from time to time reflecting on moments to savour to exemplify what it is to be blessed.

It’s a relieving and refreshing realisation because the challenge is then to be getting on with the things that I do have to offer to humanity. Among the bits and […]
Read More It Was Good Talking With YouSwimming. I am not a swimmer. There have been occasions when I have been in a swimming pool. I know how not to drown. Beyond that, I am not a swimmer, really.

Read More Staying In Depth Even When You’re Out Of Your DepthsSo that’s the first month of the year done already. I suspect the best intentions of people at the beginning of the year are already being … stretched. That’s understandable, that’s the thing about life getting in the way of our best intentions.
