A post for a few who need it. Her There was a girl who looked like me She followed me close by. If someone hurt or saddened us She hid away to cry. She weighed as heavy as a rock But couldn’t quite be seen, She sometimes almost went away But re-appeared in dreams. SheContinue reading “Her”

Mulling it over
At this time of year we usually start gathering up memories of all the adventures we’ve had, the travels we have been on and the places we have explored. Scrolling through our face book feeds , we get used to being taken from country to country and restaurant to restaurant. This year we were moreContinue reading “Mulling it over”
A spoonful of sugar …
Hello dear friends. Well, what started as a regular kind of monthly journal has become something very different this month. We truly hope you are well, wherever you are and send our thoughts to you in the world. As we all hunker down for little while there are some small things, we can do toContinue reading “A spoonful of sugar …”
February Flowers
Twice in the last week I have been told to smile. Both times I emphatically believed I was smiling already. And what was wierd was one person could hardly see me on the phone, and the other had their back to me when they said it. Thing was, I was in big pain. And itContinue reading “February Flowers”

Rain

Having weathered many a storm, I had considered myself fairly immune to those pesky clouds… Well, life doles out surprises when we least expect it and the smallest detail going wrong can be the breaking of us occasionally… I really don’t mump a lot. But weContinue reading “Rain”
The Blank Page
Where to begin…. Again……. I’ll let you into a secret.. Blank canvas syndrome is an actual thing. Stalling at the moment of creative freedom is the hurdle of almost anyone who ever picks up a brush or a pencil. We imagine ourselves unable to do this massively hard thing which encompasses our genius inContinue reading “The Blank Page”
A little light on pain
Hello friends.. For anyone you know, care about, or look after with a pain related illness, a widespread arthritic condition, fibromyalgia, M.E. or similar long term “chronic” symptoms.
