Do we really need the Word Monarchy?

If you could permanently ban a word from general usage, which one would it be? Why?

I would ban the Word Monarchy in all it’s forms,in all languages throughout the World.Monarchy and it’s entitlement would not exist.

Let’s Quit This Challenge Nonsense

What is the biggest challenge you will face in the next six months?

Quitting is probably my undesired response to the endless challenges that Life and Living present to everyone,everyday.

To be a quitter in today’s World is seen as an undesirable but surely knowing when to quit is a healthy response to an insurmountable challenge.

Suppose the creation of A Challenge is just a method of keeping you occupied trying to solve the Challenge,keeping you away from really achieving anything important.

Yes some people love challenges and to Challenge.Do they really know what is best for everyone else.I think not.The Challenge we have is knowing what is worth fighting for and what is not.Only our Hearts can tell us that Our minds will play tricks,perhaps that is where the real challenge lies.

The Gift of Life from My Mum and Dad

Share one of the best gifts you’ve ever received.

I still feel birth is a miracle.I really can’t believe I’m here . I will never know what circumstances lead to my conception,was it love,lust,boredom or just pure happiness.Whatever,but with four children already I don’t think I was planned.

My arrival probably caused consternation on the economic front,but like all good parents they weathered the storms and ensured their child’s safety and happiness.What could be a greater gift?

Murphy’s Law

If you had the power to change one law, what would it be and why?

If I could change one Law I would change Murphy’s Law. The things that could go wrong don’t go wrong.Life maybe would be more boring,but there would be less people who bite off more than they can chew.

Fantastic News!

You get some great, amazingly fantastic news. What’s the first thing you do?

I imagine my excitement in getting some very exciting news and I find myself pinching myself in disbelief.

The Penny has dropped and the Cockrel has come home to roost.I am on cloud nine,somewhere over the Rainbow. Everything in that moment is rosy and I’m looking forward to basking in the congratulatory warmth of my peers as they learn of my Good News.

Suddenly I feel a chill,I am dreaming after all ; the bedclothes have come off the bed as I have been tossing and turning in my excitement.I wake up and smile.Yes I got my exam results yesterday and I passed.
