Ever heard of the Inversion Matrix?
I came across an interesting video today. I wanted to share the video I found because I found it very intriguing and I’m keen to hear what you think of this guy’s summary of what is happening in the Western world right now. Do you think he is right, or is he talking a lot…

SILENCE
To sit and appreciate silence. Noises all brought down to naught. Allowing time for reflection allowing time for thought. A modern day extravagance A dream so many hold, to sit and appreciate silence and ponder on times new and old. A state one dreams of achieving, a situation so seldom found. To let thoughts form…

How do you measure success?
As we go about our daily lives we will encounter obstacles, achieve goals and frustratingly make little progress in other areas. Some days it seems like we’ve been going round in circles getting nowhere and other days there is nothing we can’t accomplish. But how do you measure success? As a home-schooling mum, some days…

Are you happy to age?
There are certain facts in life which we do not currently have the power to alter: Time will pass We all age We all die The ageing process has been on my mind a lot over the last few years. I think, if I’m honest, it has been since my mum died 8…

Goodbyes are so difficult
I’ve been reading a lot lately. Sounds more high brow than it actually is – I know people have book lists for this year but I doubt many, if any, of the books I read will feature on these! I do have a copy of ‘Pride and Prejudice’ which I intend to read, I also…

Seasonal Shopping
I knew it was going to happen but I think I noticed it more this time because Dearest Son saw it and commented loudly about it. What am I talking about? Picture the scene: it was the last few days before Christmas and we had nipped into a local shop for a few bits and…

Stop and smell the ginger
It’s no surprise that it’s cold here in December, it is the North East of Scotland after all. I have been a little surprised as just how cold it is though. Quite often, I’ve noticed December is milder than November but not this year. Things have gone from cold to freezing and it does have…

What do ‘normal’ people do?
This question popped into my head today as I was standing in my kitchen, blitzing cooked, home-grown pumpkin to a puree. It crossed my mind that the average person in this town doesn’t grow their own pumpkin, and doesn’t therefore, cook the flesh and make puree with it. They certainly don’t do through the process…

I’m An Optimist
Monkey see, monkey do, but not the monkey in the zoo. You must look before you leap – tell the lemmings then the sheep. Grass might look greener over there, so don’t you look and don’t compare. That empty glass is now half full, to see both sides – a useful tool! As clouds are…

Growing up or growing old?
I don’t feel old enough for wisdom but I’m too old for youth. I’m not as young as I’d like Not as healthy as I was. But I’ve walked further, seen more sights, overcome more hurdles. I’m not the same as I was. I’m not the same as I will become.

Mine and Yours
Decided to go for something a little more thought provoking today – is it a statement or can it be classed as a poem? You tell me! minemineminemineminemineminemineminemine yoursyoursyoursyoursyoursyoursyoursyoursyours Why is mine easier to do but yours is so much more interesting to look at?

Hindsight
If you knew 10 years ago The things you know today, Would you have taken this same route, Or would have rather stayed away? For when the hands of time have ceased And reflecting on your while, Will you regret, shout or blame – Or would you rather smile?
