Thursday Doors – Haven
I’ve been posting in Thursday Doors for a while now. Some weeks the doors have been grand, entrances to cathedrals or palaces. Other weeks they’ve been more humble, just like my door this week. Yet a door, no matter the size or shape, represents possibility. None of us know what lies behind until we chooseContinue reading “Thursday Doors – Haven”
#writephoto – Gold – The Third Time We Choose
Sue Vincent has chosen yet another gorgeous photo for her #writephoto prompt this week, and here is my response: The Third Time We Choose She was scared. Terrified, if she was being honest. But she’d known she couldn’t take another minute stuck in that place. It had felt so good walking into her manager’s office,Continue reading “#writephoto – Gold – The Third Time We Choose”
What Are You Grateful For?
It’s Thanksgiving in the US this weekend, a time of year when, traditionally, families gather, vast amounts of food are consumed, and thanks given. Even though we don’t celebrate the festival here, I like the idea of expressing gratitude. Of just taking a moment to think about the things I’m thankful for. About a yearContinue reading “What Are You Grateful For?”
Cleaning House
I don’t like cleaning. I really don’t. I can think of about a million things I’d rather do than dust and scrub and sweep. However, I do like a clean house, so, until I start selling loads and loads of books and can afford to hire a cleaner, for now the job falls (mostly) toContinue reading “Cleaning House”
A Head Full Of Should
I woke up today with a head full of ‘should.’ Mondays often start that way – a list of things running through my mind, hopeful of accomplishment during the week, usually sadly disappointed. ‘Should’ is often ignored. Today, however, ‘should’ feels louder, and more urgent. It’s not completely a bad thing. There are, after all,Continue reading “A Head Full Of Should”
Take The Scenic Route
There are a lot of articles around these days about “Life Hacks’. Ways to do things quickly, so you can move on to the next thing and not waste any precious time. Some of them are actually pretty cool and useful, but at the same time I feel that, as the pace of life growsContinue reading “Take The Scenic Route”
#writephoto – Still Waters
Here’s my response to Sue’s lovely photograph – her #writephoto prompt for this week: At The Closing of the Day I’d bought this place because of the view. It was never the same one day to the next; water and sky framed by the window of the ruined cottage, just a short walk from theContinue reading “#writephoto – Still Waters”
Three Quote Challenge, Day 3
‘Men at some time are masters of their fates. The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars But in ourselves, that we are underlings.‘ William Shakespeare When I was in Year 10, we had to study Julius Caesar (the play, not the man) and memorise these lines as part of our homework. Cassius speaksContinue reading “Three Quote Challenge, Day 3”
