The People whose advice I would listen to;know the value of not writing lists.
List the people you admire and look to for advice…
That pureness of thought,that indelible logic,that freedom to query and to investigate the world. These are the people I admire, and if they thought it appropriate to proffer me some advice then of course I would listen.
However,those exchanges would be few and far between.Those “thinkers” care about others and understand that excessive advice giving is detrimental and sometimes harmful to the individual.
In our social media dominated world,advice is everywhere and has to be paid for. We are flooded with recommendations and solutions from the right haircut to how to cope with a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.
So ,obviously,it’s important to be discerning.
What I need are “good thinkers.”There are many of them,but I’m afraid they don’t appear on any lists because by their nature, they are rebels and do not like to be categorised like a research article in a university library.
I shall raise a glass of iced sparkling water (with a slice of lemon) to you, and should you feel it necessary any time you will definitely have my ears.

Fiesty Little Robin
We just had a massive thunderstorm right over our heads.Three very bright flashes of light about ten minutes apart, which lit up the room followed by three extremely loud end of the World thundering noises which rumbled on almost immediately after the flash.Scared the dog silly.
Woke me up, so I went downstairs to the kitchen to finish doing the dishes that I started last night. I pulled back the blinds on the patio.The sky was beginning to brighten up, and it struck me how quiet it was,no birdsong.
“It’ll take the wildlife a little bit of time to recover they must be frightened by such storms.” I thought to myself.
That seemed valid until I saw a fiesty little Robin come to the bird feeder and grab a piece of suet.The first bird to appear after the storm,surely the bravest of them all.

“Do not be cynical about love,for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is perennial as the grass” The Desdereta
Do you have a quote you live your life by or think of often?
Max Ehrman’s Desdereta has always inspired me. The above quote in the title has always resonated with me.
