A hairy spider ran across the floor,

I ran quickly for the door,

For three days I did not enter again,

I decided to sleep in my snug den,

I wrapped myself up quite tight,

I even kept on the light

After three days it was safe to go in,

I couldn’t let the spider win,

And sure enough on the third dawn.

That pesky spider had gone.

“Win, Win” I proudly cried,

And hoped the spider hadn’t died.

Describe one simple thing you do that brings joy to your life.

What is good?

If you can be good and do good.If you have that opportunity,then you are very lucky.

Namaste.

How do you know when it’s time to unplug? What do you do to make it happen?

Now is the time to unplug.Tomorrow is another day.

Namaste dear readers.

What quality do you value most in a friend?

It’s hard to find  genuine friends, but they are when you find them special to you,perhaps unique to you.

You click,you don’t demand their time and there are just moments to treasure and give you emotional sustenance.

Accept and live with it.Friends are not two a penny.

What jobs have you had?

One job or another,

It’s going to get you,

It’s going to find you,

It’s going to make you,take you , fuck sake you,

One way or another,

Your thoughts  of being left  with  some self

esteem,

Will disappear and seem like a dream,

Life will fail and your youth sink in the drain,

Leaving you with just sorrow and pain,

No white knight or supernumerary raise,

Time will vanish in a haze,

One way or another,

They’re going to get you,  they’re going to get you,

One way or another.

Namaste,hope you enjoy.😉

Do you practice religion?

I had to define religion before perhaps understanding how I felt about practicing it.

Although I don’t follow a traditional religious path I am definitely devoted to life and humanity, so religion or indeed faith are not bad words to me.

However , Religion and Blind Faith have been used to cause a lot of ill in the World,so perhaps per se  the words are not evil, but  they have generated  evil actions through  centuries and who knows perhaps since the big bang

Do I practice Religion? Yes I do, but it is my own faith and conviction. It is based on trying to do the best in any given situation and it is not easy.

Onwards,upwards and sideways.

Namaste

Do you remember life before the internet?

There was good and there was bad.

The good was if you wanted to find information out then you had to do the research yourself,possibly interacting with others to reach out and establish what you wanted to find out.

The bad was it was  slow ,took up space and time and you could still pick up the wrong end of the stick,literally and virtually You were creating your own virtual world,rightly or wrongly and could be led up many blind paths and not have access to the information you needed.The Library was shut and it was. a Bank Holiday.

Now, information flows like a giant river, we swim in it ,and sometimes get overwhelmed but we survive and thrive if we work at our swimming technique.

So in summary ,it’s not all bad and there is a lot of good.It all depends on us.

What are you good at?

Being Good

What does “having it all” mean to you? Is it attainable?

Martha is an American Icon of achievement and is a lady who has had in many people’s eyes “it all”.

I only know snippets about her life, To be honest she seems like a fantastic business woman who perhaps crossed the line and ended up unceremoniously in jail only to come back with new business ideas and lifestyle advice for everyone. Al Capone is spinning  in his mouldy grave.

“Jeez,why didn’t I think of that”

Still Martha at the end of the day has to live with herself and her own thoughts.Indeed that is what made her.

No one else can be Martha Stewart and to be honest we shouldn’t want to be.

Be at Peace with yourself and leave the false Gods to the Media Hype.Did you boil a kettle and  successfully make a cup of tea or  think about a person or situation in a positive way, I assure you, you’ve got it made.

The picture is of the headstone of Martha Ridding, Although she only lived until she was 19,she was no less important to this World than Martha Stewart

And with that thought  I wish you all Peace. Peace comes in many forms and if you find it when you are on this Earth you are a lucky person.

Namaste.
