Have you ever wondered where some of your quirks and foibles have come from? Look to your gene-pool. When you find yourself gravitating towards particular types of foods; have odd little quirks of character—like a typical stance when standing or tilting your head at an angle when you are listening. Or when you find yourself obsessing […]
As I said last week, my words seem to have run away from me. I’m trying hard to get into the rhythm of holding on to them as they flit past me, dancing and teasing. After much deliberation, I have decided to write a series of posts on gratitude. In a way, no other topic […]
We moved into our current home nearly fifteen years ago. Fifteen years! That’s a major chunk of time, especially for my children. My son was just two years old then. Now he is a strapping lad of seventeen! That’s almost a lifetime! Two years after we moved in, or maybe a year later, we planted […]
