Its been nearly 3 weeks since my last blog and that’s ok, to be honest, I haven’t had the desire nor time to translate my daily journal into something to share, mainly out of feeling like I had nothing to say? It feels sometimes having a break isnt worth the emotional or practical hassle? Being […]

Reflections – nearly one year on
It is my 49th Birthday today, I have got holiday coming up soon, but got plenty still to do. I am sooo looking forward to being able to switch off for two whole weeks, but this year will be different, because i am different, my outlook on life is different. It’s nearly a year since […]
Still looking for the good in a haze of shit
I cannot watch the news The headlines They get me down Every where you look Every reason to frown Who will they choose? Johnson or hunt Does it matter? They are both **nts Begging on the street Queuing at food banks to eat Blaming each other For our poverty and despair Going around in circles […]
What the fuck does normal actually mean?
Normal what the fuck does normal actually mean? I googled it, this is what I got … Something that is normal is usual and ordinary, and is what people expect. (Collins Dictionary) Conforming to a standard; usual, typical, or expected. (Oxford Dictionary) So my question is if normal is about, being ordinary and conforming then […]
Got any spare change?
I am not suggested that you build up a relationship with everyone that you see on the streets, or purchase a big issue every time you walk past a big issue seller (I mean how many copies of one mag can you read in one week?) navigating the homeless that we see and sometimes dodge […]
The pursuit of happiness isn’t about perfection, its about understanding, accepting our imperfections and managing them to the best of our ability and that’s all we can do
For years I put the needs another man’s before my own. I lived in a deluded world where I thought that if I could make him happy, fix all their problems that I would be ok! Say what he wanted to hear, opposed to what I wanted to say, do what he wanted to do […]
Taking back some control of our own thoughts instead of allowing others to dictate them is the most valuable commodities we can develop for ourselves, the shit part is that it just takes a lot of practice and patience.
What was thinking about this time yesterday isn’t the same as what I am thinking this morning! The thoughts that consumed my mind yesterday have long since gone and are no longer serving a purpose, I was consumed with a sense of validation, victory, smugness, relief that finally someone who has been blagging their way […]
What do you do with your rubbish?
Making time for me is my way of caring for myself – Putting my thoughts onto paper, it feels like I have captured them, I own them, they are mine and I like to look of what I have written, they are my words nobody else’s. Like chasing discarded newspapers or debris being carried by […]
What if you realised you were perfect all along?
I was sent a question by my tutor from a recent course I attended, she asked the question “What is it that we want?”. I have learned that what I wanted for myself years ago isn’t what I want for myself now! People say “Christ it wasn’t like that when I was a kid?” that […]
Its not what we do, its how we react
Not everything we see our reality, sometimes the person we want to be sometimes isn’t the person we see staring back at us in the mirror. I often look in the mirror and don’t recognise the person staring back at me. If I am in a happy place, I like what I see, if I’m […]
