There was a rotten year to be had last year and I happened to have it! Hence, there was no writing of any value to share here. I’ve been struggling with physical restrictions due to painful health-related conditions that have affected my well-being. One such limitation has prevented me from my passion for writing. I’veContinue reading “A Comeback Attempt!”

Small Changes
I’ve entered a nostalgic period and in doing so I have come to acknowledge the different phases I’ve passed through on my life’s journey. I find it interesting to look back at the life I’ve lived, the people I’ve known, the things I’ve achieved – or not – and to reflect on the moments ofContinue reading “Small Changes”
Pre-Easter Muddle
The thing that strikes me about God is that he never gives up on me. I came to faith late in my life (Late have I loved you, O Lord) and God became something I relied on to be a constant, never-changing, never-judging, always forgiving God, who loves me unconditionally and who is full ofContinue reading “Pre-Easter Muddle”
A Special Day of Words
Winifred Emma May was a poet from the United Kingdom, best known for her work under the pen name Patience Strong (4 June 1907-28 August 1990). Her poems were usually short, simple and imbued with sentimentality, the beauty of nature and inner strength.

Stepping out of January Blues… and into February’s Soul Month
I’ve been suffering off and on with neck pain since I had a fall two years ago and for the past three months it’s been unbearable at times. One day last week it was the worst it’s been since it began so I phoned the surgery and, to my amazement, secured a face-to-face appointment withContinue reading “Stepping out of January Blues… and into February’s Soul Month”
From Lament to Joy
It’s been six months since my last post because I’ve been on an emotional roller-coaster of ups and downs. With the neglect of my personal journal writing and this blog, I seemed to lose my way, my life path, somehow, in my day-to-day busyness of recovering and rediscovering myself, but I am hopeful that I’veContinue reading “From Lament to Joy”
A Gratitude Reminder
and overleaf… When tomorrow comes today will be gone forever. I hope I will not regret the price I paid for it. (Ruth Spearing) I’ve had such a time of anxiety this past fortnight visualizing what could happen during a pending medical procedure I’m waiting for that I felt in need of spiritual support. IContinue reading “A Gratitude Reminder”
Find Rest in Holy Week
I’ve been missing in action on my blog for three months. I’ve not been lost for words. I’ve had too many. Having too much to say is as painful as having nothing to say. Words and stories have been buzzing in my head along with the happenings of life; some sad, some happy, yet interestingContinue reading “Find Rest in Holy Week”
How Did I End Up Here?
Since hitting a major birthday milestone 7 weeks ago, time seems to have been flying by at the speed of light and I’ve arrived in the New Year with my feet having barely touched the ground. Already, I’m bored with the tedious reminders of aging that are constantly bombarding me – or is it thatContinue reading “How Did I End Up Here?”
Human Kindness
There’s so much stuff going on in the world that I hardly dare to breathe in case my out-breath adds to the overwhelming chaos of it all, especially as my already chaotic mind is alive and kicking. I don’t know where to start with my writing projects because they too have been caught up inContinue reading “Human Kindness”
