Layers

Layers of an onion

A thought occurred to me last night.  It’s one of those things that does happen sometimes, and flipping annoying when you realise its an “Important Thought”. We often refer to ourselves as having layers like onions.  And that peeling away layers reveals the real “us” beneath.  And the implication is – that peeling away layers is a good thing.  (Which it is).  And thereby the inverse is also true, that putting layers on is a bad thing? No. In a word. Last night I was aware of a newly formed layer that has grown for me.  It’s about 7 and Continue Reading →

A chat.

Posted on by

It’s been a busy few months.  But just today I could do with a chat with my Grandad. Not about anything in particular. Just to spend some time with him, sit and have a chat. I’d let myself in using the key. Shout hello as I cross the door. ‘Hallo’ would come the call more often as not from the kitchen. Sat on his perch, a customised stool, eating a sarnie of cheese or ham. Pouring a cuppa whilst he asks how I am. With one eye on the garden but both ears on me, his eyes twinkling as we Continue Reading →

Nearly Yearly Update!

Posted on by
Time

Hello world! Well I can’t believe nearly a year has gone by without me finding time to update my site.  But what a year its been. The last time I updated this was to post about getting what you want, or, more accurately how the Universe enables you to do things you’d really rather not, but actually you know you really have to face it.  A big toothache. Abscess… complicated by what I didn’t mention at the time… being pregnant! I can now state from experience, that having an abscess is far worse pain than giving birth – without drugs!

Getting what you asked for

Last night was quite eventful. And painful. It started on Monday evening if I’m honest, a nice cold blast of air hit a disaster zone of a broken tooth, and wham – face ache begins. It really starts to kick in through the day on Tuesday whilst at work, and then Tuesday evening it really starts to ramp up. Having fallen asleep on the sofa after tea I thought i might just be able to get to sleep. Apparently my pain levels had other ideas. As I laid down…. up went the pain a few more notches…. Tossing, turning – Continue Reading →

The year moves on…

Dawn and Sunrise

Slowly and surely the year moves onwards.  Well at the moment it feels slow and sure but then when I think about it, October 2010 doesn’t feel like 2 minutes ago. But here I find myself in February, it’s my Dad’s birthday tomorrow and I have a rather silly present for him.  The Open University course I was doing has just completed, and I find now, that I may be eligible for financial assistance to do the next one!  But that’s ok – it doesn’t start until October 2011! (Which definitely seems a long way away!) I also just thought Continue Reading →

Snow Driving

Posted on by

It had been trying to snow all lesson, from Langwith up to Worksop the sky heavy with snow filled clouds and the temperature outside so cold that when Matt got in the car his glasses steamed up. “I can’t believe you’re doing a lesson in this weather!” I looked over at him and smiled. He was doing well with his driving, driving test booked but it was a few months off still. “You know my policy, if I can get to you, you go out for a lesson!” He didn’t look too convinced. “Look, “ I tried to cajole him, Continue Reading →

De-clutter Bug and The FlyLady!

The Flylady

Have you ever heard of “The Flylady”? She is a lady who has started a website to help us become more organised, tidy, and ensure that we suffer less from “CHAOS” – Can’t Have Anyone Over Syndrome! (Because it’s too messy etc!) I am taking tentative flybaby steps at the moment and I receive a daily update of messages posted. One of them caught my eye yesterday morning. It was about a lady and her husband who helped clear out her Mum’s shed that was packed full of “things that might come in handy one day” by her Father (who Continue Reading →

Pure Energy

Posted on by

I’ve just had a thought whilst I was in the shower. It’s a good place to think I find. And a quote I heard a quote the other day went through my thoughts. We are spiritual beings having a human experience. If, in our ‘truest’ form we are purely energy, existing everywhere and everywhen, is there any wonder then that we can “mess up” so spectacularly as we are ‘zoomed in’ to the detail of the level of this life we are currently experiencing? It’s like doing a jigsaw puzzle, but without the picture on the lid. And just to Continue Reading →

Time – it’s all about time

Posted on by

I find that I’m in a strange place here tonight.  It’s almost like I can look back on the events of my past to this point now, and see where I’ve pushed things to happen. Making things happen for you is all well and good – there is no doubting that.  But there is also a time, where, well, time is needed.  Patience required.  Normally though, we have to be well past the event to recognise that maybe a little time was required.  It’s called ‘hindsight’.  The sight behind. A look in the Online Entemology dictionary tells us that “hindsight Continue Reading →

Gardening and Grief

Posted on by

It’s just been snowing here.  So I went into the conservatory and stood at the back door to watch it snow. Looking out at the garden, I notice there’s a change in me.  Normally, it will get to the month of February and I will start getting fractious and eager to get out into the garden and start ‘doing’.   Tidying up the winter ravages, cutting back the annual plants, and smiling at seeing the snowdrops peek through the soil. This year – it’s different.  But then so much has changed in the past few months that it’s maybe just those Continue Reading →
