In what ways does hard work make you feel fulfilled? When it comes to the day job I can honestly say that in 40 years I had one job I liked. But then I’m not a career person. Cleaning the house leaves me with a nice feeling, removing the stress of the dust, I feelContinueContinue reading “Fulfilled?”

The good things
What things give you energy? Nothing saps my energy more than the violence and unkindness in this world. From social media, through being unable to trust our police forces, to inter-family spite, school bullying, bullying at work, genderism, colour prejudice and on and on. Thinking about our various societies just makes me want to putContinueContinue reading “The good things”
I Mattered
Share a lesson you wish you had learned earlier in life. But very little else did. I was raised begging for attention, for fairness. No matter how hard I tried, how well behaved, I could never win. I used to describe myself as 3/10 must try harder. My younger brother and I agreed when weContinueContinue reading “I Mattered”

Hubby has had the day off today, haven’t done anything special, just mooched and lunch. He got himself a couple of much needed wardrobe update items.

The Heart of Our House
‘Home’ means different things The heart of my house said the tired young wifeIs the room that my husband and children dislikeFor they’d never be seen near a dish cloth or soapAnd if they had to cook well they’d just never copeSo my sanctuary’s found in the room they all hateFrom whence dinner appears allContinueContinue reading “The Heart of Our House”
