Decisions, decisions….

Decisions, decisions....

So many friends have sent this to me, I figured it was a sign I’d better do something with it!

Immature Ageing

Last night I was woken up by the sudden realisation that I’m only fifteen years off turning fifty. Fifty. Five Zero. FIFTY. Boy did that ever start a major midnight meltdown. I can’t possibly be that close to fifty. I’ve only just started feeling like I’ve hit my stride, like I’m actually getting somewhere. I haven’t… Read More Immature Ageing

The Break-Up

Winter, we need to break up. It’s not me, it’s you. I know you’re only doing what’s expected of you, but it’s been almost three months and I’m just not happy. I have been trying so hard to compromise – I wear beanies and boots, even though they give me flat hair and make me… Read More The Break-Up

Ramblings

And see, the funny thing is, occasionally you can read too much into a situation. You can over-analyse everything, and make something out of nothing. You can try and stop your heart with your head, which never really works out well. You can ask yourself and others a million questions in an attempt to figure… Read More Ramblings

A Problem For Writers

You know what I find the hardest part when I write something? That people always recognise themselves, even when they weren’t the inspiration in the first place. And that when I write I risk hurting people who aren’t in fact the target. When I write it’s because I feel the need to get something out,… Read More A Problem For Writers

LIKING PEOPLE.

A friend of mine said yesterday that people liking each other is the most important thing in the world. She’s right, of course, except that occasionally the world decides that while it is important, it just isn’t important right now. Sometimes, no matter how much two people like each other, you have to put that… Read More LIKING PEOPLE.

HAPPINESS

When you can’t see the bath for the bubbles When your dog sits on your lap When your morning coffee has just enough heat When the rain beats on the roof. When the wine is smooth and the curry mild When the laughs come freely. When Summer’s here and the air is warm When the… Read More HAPPINESS

DO NOT SWALLOW!

This is not what you think it is.
