Corners

I’ve never know how to hold you properly fold you, in my arms. You are so much bigger than me with such strength, and yet easily twisted and bent. I struggle and start again, and then again but get nowhere. I can see where you naturally flow but try as I might you slip […]

Too Little Time Left

Bark! Bark! Bark! The Garbage Man is coming! The Garbage Man is coming! Must get outside to greet, greet greet… Stumbling over his back feet running to the door…Bark Bark Bark! More like Huff Huff Huff as he shows his age, beautiful golden fur shedding in his wake. I just vacuumed for goodness sake! […]

Back From “Vacation”

I’ve just returned from a week long “vacation”; is it a vacation if you don’t have formal employment? The feeling when I returned was different. In the past, the approach to the Monday morning after a vacation would be a mixed bag of emotions; dread at having to get up early, excitement to see the […]

All We Need is Music, Sweet Music…

Quote 3 of 3 Calling out around the world Are you ready for a brand new beat Summer’s here and the time is right For dancing in the street Okay, not so much of a quote as a rally cry! Don’t waste the birdsong, the radio playing in the car next you at the traffic […]

Dance Baby Dance

I read a blog today that really resonated with me, to such a degree that I’m setting aside my planned post in it’s honour. I was also challenged by Simon Wood to do 3 quotes over 3 days. This was the second challenge quote, the first one came in when I was on holidays and […]

Just A Little Seed

There are moments in life that are marked, something happens that sets that moment in stone, cements it in your memory, your heart. Sometimes it’s a sad thing, sometimes it’s a change you didn’t see coming, sometimes it’s this…. The first time a plant you grew from seed, flowers. It took two years and was […]

Thin Strips

To julienne something is to it cut into thin strips, similar to matchsticks. While contemplating this “word of the day” from my friends in the Ragtag Community it occurred to me that humans repeatedly julienne themselves. Carving our beings, our hearts, brains and souls into smaller and smaller slivers in order to meet the ever-increasing […]

And Then… There Were 389 Words Because I Couldn’t Sleep On Monday Night

On Monday night I couldn’t fall sleep, my brain was on overdrive and I started writing my blog in my head, as lots of us do….. “I had to write a personal mission statement for a class, along with a values and vision statement, it’s an interesting exercise and I wondered to myself how many […]

Just because you can’t see it….

On Sunday I visited a ‘pop-up’ bead store, there were excellent discounts advertised and as you know I’ve got a little fondness for sparkly stuff. Driving home I kept thinking that I hadn’t been charged properly. I was right, all the cute accessories had been charged as single items instead of 6 x 1, 2 […]
