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”
A Room with a Garden View
You get to build your perfect space for reading and writing. What’s it like? It would be cosy, welcoming, and uncluttered. It would have to look out over a garden but not have much of a view so that I didn’t spend hours looking at the sea, mountains, etc. No distractions.

I just felt at one with both cars and I would happily drive them anywhere.ContinueContinue reading “That Depends”

Although I still don’t have that feeling, this blog has been one of the finest things for me.ContinueContinue reading “I Write”
Social Fixes?
It just jumped into my mind how many things we as a society are being offered to fix our lives. Things that are meant to enhance our lives and are, instead, isolating us. Work Obviously this is what makes most worlds go round, but the addition of stuff to our lives now means that inContinueContinue reading “Social Fixes?”
I Love Dave
The Dave TV channel (UK) is the best thing on threads. I go down their thread and howl with laughter. At a time of year that can be more stressful than it should I thought I’d share some of their fun. This is me leaving the house. It also applies to straighteners, turning the lightsContinueContinue reading “I Love Dave”
