Well, I am grateful for alarms that tell us we could be in danger.  And the fact that the thing actually went off.  Although it can be stressful when something like this happens.

Do you want to see more? Do you want to read more? Do you want more poetry? Different posts?

In Johnathan’s school they have a list of character strengths they try to help each child understand and learn.  Johnathan will often say things and I realise he is quoting from the character strength that is being looked at that week.

In a recent post I was talking about some of the things that can be done to restore mental health.  I just wanted to cover some more things in this post that can make a difference with mental health.

Some time back, I completed the online sleep assessment and you get a score up to 24 or 25 and if you are over 16 then it’s essential you get referred to the sleep clinic.

Kevin and I were watching a series about different chefs around the world. 

I wanted to talk to you about what I think is something so exciting and inspiring.

I was thinking about when people have difficulties in life.  I know it’s not easy to even ADMIT you need help in the first place and even when you have done so, there is so much more to go through.

When Maisie was young I knew I needed to take her to get groomed.  I went to a groomer in a pet shop and the lady said to me that they needed Maisie to have tranquillisers before she came because she moved too much.

I don’t know about you but when I feel overwhelmed I can’t cope with more than one person/animal speaking to me.

On Monday the mental health awareness week begins.  And you have to know that, just as the body has many different conditions and that not everyone will admit to either physical or mental illness for different reasons.

You know I spoke to you a while back about what I THOUGHT was my new found love of etching.

I was just writing about peace and thought that actually I would carry on with it a bit because I wanted to cover some more things about it than can be done in one post.

You know the peaceful moments, when life is calm and everything seems to be going along seamlessly? 

In marriage, we are asked to be a helpmate for the husband as a bride and vice versa.  And that we will be faithful to each other. 

It’s quite interesting where people see support or interfering.  I remember my Nana not wanting anyone to interfere in her life.

Have you ever thought that something you did or thought about doing or something you managed to live through wasn’t worth anything? 

I have been thinking about injustice and how it can make people both feel and react.  Thing is, there can be PERCEIVED injustice or injustice that actually really has happened.

It has been quite a week for me personally, I must admit.  I am pretty sure I have already told you that I was born disabled so you would think that I had learned by 50 years of age to accept it.

I had the carer office person come to assess me.  It took 3 hours and went through EVERYTHING carefully - so carefully that we touched on the past and all the baby losses.
