What was the best compliment you’ve received? My dad was everything to my mum. She absolutely adored him. So when she told me that I was everything my father was, that was a stratospheric level of compliment. Until she said: “And it’s done you as much good as it did him hasn’t it?” Courage andContinueContinue reading “You Have to Smile”

Car
You’re going on a cross-country trip. Airplane, train, bus, car, or bike? In the UK a cross-country trip won’t take that long. Frankly I’d rather do Europe or Continental America, both would lead to more fascinating trips. In Europe you can just keep going and see all kinds of different scenery, cities, meet a wideContinueContinue reading “Car”
Me
Who is the most confident person you know? I looked for an image implying confidence and apparently it mainly means underwear shots! Not my thing. However, my husband decided to wash my washing up gloves today and did this with them. I’ve had some hilarious captions on social media! When it comes to confidence IContinueContinue reading “Me”
Gentleness and Logic
What strategies do you use to cope with negative feelings? We all have negative feelings, and the first thing I ask people is always: What caused it? Then I give them paper and a pen and get them to write everything down. It can look dreadful when you see it all on paper, but ifContinueContinue reading “Gentleness and Logic”
Meditation
What activities do you lose yourself in? Except I wouldn’t do it outside and I haven’t sat cross legged since Methuselah was a baby. Not that I actually know who Methuselah was. I need to be warm and I’m too easily distracted not to shut myself away. I also hate the feeling of wind inContinueContinue reading “Meditation”

Be the Peace the World Needs
It has never been so important that we, the public, become the voice of peace. Especially in the West, our societies are multicultural, which of course means there may be sympathies on both sides, which is a confusing feeling. Politicians are not handling it well in the UK, where Europe is clear that this isContinueContinue reading “Be the Peace the World Needs”
Temptress?
Are you superstitious? No, but I do have a black cat. Got to hedge your bets as we say. That’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it. 13 is a lucky number for me. I think I was a tax collector in a previous life. In the UK Friday 13th was considered unlucky in MedievalContinueContinue reading “Temptress?”

Which animal would you compare yourself to and why? A Cow Because I think about things, ruminate a lot, and quite often find it takes time to digest life. A Meerkat Because I have the reputation that I will be moseying along, then suddenly something captures my attention. My head snaps up, I lean myContinueContinue reading “Several”
