Spirituality

How important is spirituality in your life?

I currently know a very religious person who I talk to  frequently.

Our conversations are interjected with cries of Jehovah be willing,so at the moment Spirituality is playing an important role in my life in that I have to show empathy and understanding,when really I consider this behaviour irrational.

Much more interested in the Spirituality of Nature and its’ various activities.

Selfishness isn’t all bad.

How do you practice self-care?

Do you think that  the United States of. America President Trump practices self-care? I doubt it, and he gives selfishness a bad name.It’s a bad combination.It’s definitely a road to Armageddon and there will be plenty of his followers who will gleefully go along that road in the belief that there is a better life waiting for them and that everyone else can burn.

Not that Trump believes that will happen, his size tens are firmly in this World and what he can get out of it.

Nevertheless to navigate this rather tumultuous period, we must practice self-care.Don’t be side-tracked by these fools.Do your stretches, choose to eat well, support businesses who do the right thing and breathe.It’s selfish I know and takes up time, but it’s so much better than worrying or indeed bombing people.

Namaste and Thank You For Reading.

Drop an Einstein

How do you waste the most time every day?

How easily we drop an  Einstein today.Sadly the great man is being used to promote “smart meters” on television adverts .This is doubly sad as smart meters really aren’t  that smart.

Still the fact remains Einstein’s genius was pure and hard won. In his youth his suitability for academia was questioned by those who could not understand him,however,he went against the tide of opinion and won through to become an intellectual icon.

In doing so,he spent a lot of time doing things others felt were a waste of time. I’m sure he would agree, no matter what others say, time as an entity can never be wasted.

When we follow our intuition down a black hole and come out none the wiser, we have still learned or perhaps we have had a rest from overthinking.Either way we have used time to our benefit and perhaps to the benefit of those around us.

I would suggest that saying something is a waste of time is the only way to  waste time, and we should be wary of those who push the idea of wasting time  as it stops creativity and originality in its tracks

Ice Cream

Which food, when you eat it, instantly transports you to childhood?

It has to be Ice Cream,because it is such a treat in all its’ forms.

From childhood it was an ice cream bar with a semi-soft biscuit  enclosing  vanilla flavoured  ice cream, just  like a wafer with two delicious white  blobs which  you could buy  from the ice cream van,except the  factory made offering came from the display cabinet freezer in the local shop and was wrapped in attractive packaging and seemed “better”.

I can’t remember what it was called, but over the years I’ve seen variations of it in shops and supermarkets but they never match the original.I even wish the little shop with the freezer cabinet still existed,but it’s probably long gone

So there you are….

Victor Hugo

Who is your favorite historical figure?

When I read his books,I feel alive, even though the subject matters can be challenging.

He was a statesman,a campaigner and even an exile  from his beloved France due to his stance on subjects such as capital punishment and slavery.

His beliefs live on through his writing.

My first crush

Write about your first crush.

I remember being in an underground subway station with my mother.We were in a hurry and there were lots of people.My mother held on to my hand tightly,but once we passed the ticket barrier,and the crowds heard the oncoming whoosh of the train, all hell let loose and we were carried along on a tidal wave of people.

It was scary.

A old dressing gown

What’s the oldest thing you own that you still use daily?

Many years ago my husband had to go in for a back operation as he had very bad sciatica.I bought him a lovely towelling dressing gown, green and dark blue stripes.

He’s not much of a one for wearing dressing gowns ,so in hospital was the only place he ever wore it.

I wear it now,it’s my go to  dressing gown when I’m at home.Very comfortable and well worn
