My blog today, partly meant specifically for my wonderful blog followers is to offer an explanation of why I am not actively following everyone’s blogs. Whilst I wonder over to your blogs and love reading them, getting emails from too many bloggers is just too challenging for me to keep up with. I have also signed up to actively follow…
In my blog yesterday, I talked about the fact we were toying with the idea of trying to help our big kids into their own real estate. The operative word there was toying, although one reader took this very seriously, and gently chided me about helping adult children too much. One other friend who has…
There is a chat tonight about ironing on my Conversations Page Day 10 Project 366 with your names written all over it! 🙂
Last weekend we visited a unit which was for sale, as have been toying with the idea of trying to help our big kids into their own real estate. It was like going back in time, a unit with rich floral carpet, and a sprinkling of old-fashioned dark wood furniture, belonging to an elderly lady who…
My eldest son and I have had to defer our Vipissana Meditation Retreat and its 10 days of Noble Silence due to a few personal things of mine getting in the way, as well as me feeling pressured for time to prepare for a few events, so we have rescheduled it for April. I had already realised being off the…
I’m writing a book. I’ve got the page numbers done! Steven Wright. This quote made me laugh out loud, as I thought to myself, Oh my goodness, how long have I had the page numbers done! This and other quotes appear on the side bar of my blogs each time they get posted, with ideas…
Ok, so those of you who know me in person, and have known me for a long time will know that I didn’t like and wasn’t interested in Aussie rules football. My love for that style of sport was Rugby Union, and underneath probably still is. However, living with two sons and a husband, and…
Until attending university, I hadn’t even thought very much about the word abstract, but probably thought about it only relating to art, meaning something like random, different, irregular, or out there and artistic (doh!!). I didn’t think about in a theoretical way, that it also meant not concrete, in that it does not relate to…
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonour others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love…
Lost Lost my teddy Lost my book Lost my keys Lost my bird Lost my love Lost my way Lost my mind Lost my soul (© 2009) Found New sadness Increased heartache Moments gone Shattered friendships New words Truer friends Inner Peace Special moments (© 2012) I guess these two poems belong on my poetry page, but…
I need to say too, that there are many close friends and family who don’t judge me by my dementia, and who don’t think I am wrong all of the time, and most importantly who DO support and love me unconditionally. You know who you are, and along with my new online friends, you help me…
I felt heartbroken yesterday because I had a fall out with a person who I honestly had believed was a true friend, but who then (I thought) accused my dementia as being the reason for us not being as close. This then escalated to an argument with my husband, who had sat mutely listening to the…
Okay, so it is Day 3 of Project 366: Conversations with Kate (and her blog followers!). I’ve just posted a daily blog, but have since realised I’ve actually set myself up to write a second post here, so that we can actually have a real conversation! For now, tonight, all I have left in my…
Over the festive season, I/we received a number of wonderful phone messages and Christmas cards, with the usual best wishes and love to us all, from, for example, Jacinta and Craig. The envelopes mostly had no return address; only a few with a return address had the sender’s surname. One card included a small business…
The old Discussion Forum page has this lovely new title Conversations, and is for you to leave your responses to any of my posts, or for something you just want to chat about. As I have grown used to this blog thing, having your responses appear there, rather than with the relevant blog has now become a…
