What DO you want?

What’s on your shopping list? We have recently discovered a fantastic local independent organic food store. Each week we check out our cupboards to see what we already have, “What do you want for dinner?” I might ask Tim. We list what we want and then go shopping...

Pathway of Life

New Pathways from Old. Do you tend to walk down the same pathways or do you like to explore new ones? We are currently living near Stockport and often pop along to Happy Valley, an ancient wooded valley along the Ladybrook River, for our favourite local walk. It’s so peaceful,...

Making Up Stories – they are not always true…

How often do you find yourself making up stories in your head? Sometimes they can be fun, but it’s those little stories that are often detrimental to our joy of life – and we need to realise they are fiction… “Hola!” we smiled as a man walked past us. His...

Before you have a wobbly… HALT!

Before you have a wobbly – HALT! And if you think someone else is about to have a wobbly HALT as well. What great advice. But what does it mean? When we were staying with a Doctor friend of ours recently, I chatted with him about the epidemic of mental illness. As a GP he has too...

Go with the flow…

Do you go with the flow? I used to be such a planner, always knowing exactly what I’d be doing in the following days, weeks, months… I’d have my tick list, project plan and was renowned for my spreadsheet creations with action plans. Life is very different now! One of...

Selfish or Selfless?…

Butterflies and Cogs

What type of cog are you? Are you a small one that goes frantically round and round in circles; or the cog that often gets stuck or the cog that disappears, leaving a gap? Or perhaps you are the cog that flows easily and aids other cogs to work well? We are all cogs, and each cog...

A Good or Bad Day?

She rushed in, looking rather flustered – slumped in the chair next to me and said “Sorry I’m late – I’m having one of those days!”…One of those days? A good or bad day? From the look on her face – it certainly looked the latter! I was chairing a network group...

Great Expectations

“The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can’t find them, make them.” ― George Bernard Shaw. …I arrived at Peterborough station early for my train, so sat people watching….a...

The fish that saw the light

The water was wonderfully calm and cool as I swam south to visit my very dear friend, the Sea bass. I had got up very early and with plenty of time, relaxed and enjoyed the journey. Shoals of fish rushed past me, causing me to stop and wait. It didn’t matter, I took advantage of...
