This image demonstrates perfectly the difference between seeing another person and listening to your own life experience. You’re using your own eyes Listening to your own voice Hearing your own words That is not me I have my own view of the world My own voice And my own words If you listen to themContinueContinue reading “See Me!”

Busy Doing Nothing
Photo by Andrea Piacquadio on Pexels.com This came to me just now, and encapsulates how I’m feeling at the moment. That moment when you desperately want something to do that you want to do, but there is nothing. Irritation at it’s finest! I’m sitting here Doing nothing Which is exactly What I’m not supposed toContinueContinue reading “Busy Doing Nothing”
The ‘sigh’ in the Room?
When you suffer from mental health issues you’re often treated like a pair of curtains. People try to be sympathetic, lose patience, and suggest that you try harder or pull yourself together. They may not use those words but it’s implicit in the chivvying up process. You can’t whip yourself together with one smart pull,ContinueContinue reading “The ‘sigh’ in the Room?”
Yes and No
Do you play in your daily life? What says “playtime” to you? Badminton yes, otherwise no. My hubby is usually stressed by work, and works long hours. He’s also quite stressed at home because he feels constantly under pressure somewhere. As we don’t have a lot of local support we don’t have holidays or evenContinueContinue reading “Yes and No”

Everything I need to do or achieve is down to me. The best thing I’ve done recently is to turn my website into aContinueContinue reading “Me”

Plus Happiness isn’t a self fulfilling prophecy. Well it is if you remember that you’re the self that has to fulfil it. It’s a choice.ContinueContinue reading “Happy All Year?”
The Kindness of My Youth
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”
My Spiritual Ones
What relationships have a positive impact on you? I have wonderful people in my life that I love, respect, and admire. My groups work alongside me to try to learn how to be more empowered and empowering humans, in the right way, the kind way. I class them among my spiritual relationships. I also findContinueContinue reading “My Spiritual Ones”
