Yes on a daily basis I set personal goals,

There are many just like me lonely souls,

We aim our efforts high and true,

And forget that we must look anew,

For a goal once dusted and done,

You have to think of another one.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading.🙏

What’s something you’ve done that you never thought you could?

I never thought I could crochet,

It always seemed beyond me,

Then one day someone gave me a tip,

In a seaside cafe on a day trip,

Don’t worry about the silly pattern,

Do your chain and sink your hook like a slattern,

A few along and then chain again,

You’ll soon begin to feel that zen,

Somehow the colours come together,

And that shawl you’ve made will be as light as a feather.

What’s something you’ve done that your past self would be proud of?

Oh sometimes I feel an awful chump,

My past is gone and some things I’ve thrown in the dump,

Yes I did good but sometimes I did bad,

This looking back all the time makes me sad,

I don’t like that word proud,

It should be reserved for people who are loud,

Who want to make noise and be noticed,

Their egos need a mustard poultice,

Myself I will stay under the radar,

Enjoy the moment and not worry about going too far.

I’ve stuck with Duolingo to learn Italian and Spanish,

I must admit it has made my blues vanish,

Romance languages make me smile,

To know a little Amor helps pass the while,

The friendly competition and puzzle and games,

Makes it fun while achieving your aims,

So Duolingo online,

Is a good way to spend my time.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading.🙏

Carlos Alcaraz and I would sit down together and have tea,

Because I wanted to practise my Spanish really,

I’d make certain I didn’t bore him and would make him smile with my pronounciation,

And of course I’d ask him where he likes to vacation,

For tennis players are very busy,

The speed he would talk would make me feel quite dizzy,

I’d tell him I really thought he was the best,

And apart from Nadal he was ahead of the rest,

It didn’t matter if he sometimes got beat,

Because as a tenista he is complete!

Namaste and Thank You for Reading.🙏

To be good you really must be not bad,

Yes it’s not easy and it’s really quite sad,

It’s all a bit like a tightrope to walk,

Even the brave may gasp and baulk,

What is right ?What is wrong?

Do we need to sing another song?

Is the tune off or is it our hearing?

Are angels singing or is it the devil sneering?

So much to consider,

There really isn’t time to dither,

Still to live our best lives is all you can do,

If you do harm it will come back to you.

But that’s not definite perhaps it’s more of a wish,

It’s like a chef serving up the perfect dish,

Which on the plate looks perfect and clean,

But with the ingredients they’ve been really mean,

Aiming high can lead to a fall,

I’m sure it has happened to us all,

So don’t worry about the latest fad,

Just be grateful you can be not bad.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading.🙏

What’s a country that’s at the top of your bucket list?

View all responses

The problem with a bucket is it can be half- empty or half- full,

Mine use to be overflowing until I learned a simple rule, 

Edit , revise and compromise and you’ll begin to see the truth,

 Travel is something to be done in your youth, 

Inconvenience , Challenge and Bad Hygiene,

Are reasons enough for me to vent my spleen,

Countries are fine and dandy there are so many,

But I don’t have to pass an exam in any, 

So a gentle amble across any border is as much as I will do,

Back in time for tea and toast and to have a chat with you.

Namaste , Thank You for Reading.
