Thinking About the Right People

It’s more powerful to choose the right people in your life, than to live the urban myth that you have to get on with everyone and work to lmake people like you. If you don’t get on with someone that’s a massive sign that you’re not compatible, not a sign to exhaust yourself reshaping yourselfContinueContinue reading “Thinking About the Right People”

Annoyingly Helpful?

Love it I’m a person who can’t walk past a problem, if anyone tells me that they’re not happy I’m in there like a ninja, using every skill I’ve ever learned, every ability and piece of training I’ve ever had, and asking for all possible help and guidance. Anything I can do to help thatContinueContinue reading “Annoyingly Helpful?”

What it Means to be British

John Curry The British are often seen as apologetic losers, too modest to win anything. Accepting defeat too easily. You only have to look at both our top football teams to know how good we are at crumbling when the going gets close to success. I’m not knocking them, I’m the same. I don’t haveContinueContinue reading “What it Means to be British”

I found this on social media this morning and thought how true it is. We are the product of our entire experience and it changes us in so many ways. Sometimes the effect is positive, sometimes not.

Not in My Wildest Dreams

Did I ever think I’d constantly write about being quiet and preferring peace. In my youth I had all kinds of ideas, but no idea how to achieve them. My parents were more likely to say no than ‘why not, we will back you.’ They considered praise to be dangerous as it created arrogance. TheContinueContinue reading “Not in My Wildest Dreams”

You Are Me

I understand the innocence of childhood Because long ago I was you An innocent with my whole life in front of me Safe in my cocoon with my family Playing happily in streets Splashing in the rain Paddling in the sea And shrieking as the waves washed over me As you used to But youContinueContinue reading “You Are Me”

Fun and More fun

I was thinking about today’s question where I couldn’t list 5 fun things I do. I realised that I do have a lot of fun everyday, because cats are fun; except: They seem to have a sixth sense about when you must go out on time, when you cannot be late, and respond to thatContinueContinue reading “Fun and More fun”
