What makes you feel nostalgic? I’ve written before about the sense of community and connection in my youth in the late 1950’s, and the dramatic change 15 years later. I literally watched the UK become ‘I’ oriented. In the 1970s the Labour Party visited schools and told children that their parents were no longer allowedContinueContinue reading “The Kindness of My Youth”

Happiness – Snippet
People will tell you that happiness isn’t possible, don’t believe them, that will only make you miserable too. Thinking like that can lead to a long life of believing the worst, not trusting life, and sticking with all the wrong decisions because if it isn’t possible to be happy, why bother changing anything. Might asContinueContinue reading “Happiness – Snippet”

The Weird and Wonderful Winners

Lousy Decision Maker (snippet)
Reasons for being unable to make a decision: You really don’t care. You really don’t mind what you do and are genuinely happy to fit in. Available decisions don’t sound appealing (it’s hard to choose the least worst when they all suck). You don’t want either job (because you’re in the wrong career?). You’ve beenContinueContinue reading “Lousy Decision Maker (snippet)”
Too Kind? (Snippet)
It’s possible to be too kind. The acid test is: Are you hurting yourself being kind? Are you being taken for granted? When you turn round are those people there for you? Are you the one everyone turns to, but the one never invited to parties and gatherings? If you realise that your kindness isContinueContinue reading “Too Kind? (Snippet)”
Not Listening? (Snippet)
When people refuse to hear what you say and constantly challenge rather than discuss: Step 1: stop speaking Step 2: walk away There are none so deaf as those who can only hear their own thoughts and opinions. Hearing aids won’t help. Deb xx
Simplicity
If you keep life simple people will often laugh at you. Don’t listen to these people. They will tell you that life isn’t simple, and it isn’t, but often what’s bothering you is. The solutions may not be simple, that’s true, but recognising the problem and its effect on you is a good start. WeContinueContinue reading “Simplicity”
They Haven’t
How have your political views changed over time? Politics is as much about the people as politicians. If you don’t obey the will of the people you get voted out, so politicians spend more time trying to keep their jobs than they do running the country. One party does something, the next undoes it. I’veContinueContinue reading “They Haven’t”
