                                                                    It's so hard to think of mortality without thinking firstly of yourself , and really what it means to you . Everyone takes mortality for granted , its like well I am still alive therefore it doesn't really effect me , and therefore I won't want to think about it . Selfish maybe ? Inconsiderate possibly ? Human nature absolutely ! And final so very very definitely !                                                                    Today my wife's sister said goodbye to her only son Phillip .Devastated is a word that is frequently used to describe all sorts of feelings in relation to o...

                                                                      Ain't it strange how having done all of your tutoring and teaching in relation to bringing up children , that never , not one day could you say to yourself okay that's the end of that and take the rest that you so seriously deserve . You see , in your heart of hearts you understand that the only way you're going to relinquish that responsibility is when you're out of breath and you've forgotten how to resume .                                                                       Having been in this position for forty three years , you've kinda earned yourself an opinion wh...

                                                                Now normally I have an idea where one of my blogs is going to go . Normally there would be a subject that has either made me happy or in some instances , made me mad . This particular blog has no sub text . It has no direction I can think of . And it certainly has no one issue that I want to address . So have patience and bear with me and lets just see where this goes okay ? Oh and by the way , if something sounds or feels familiar , don't be getting yourself thinking that it's about you , ITS NOT !                                            Once upon a time in my mind , things had structure , things had shape and reason , and now all I can see is utter con...

                                                                       Its hardly surprising that when you have just about settled with a particular level of calm in the Universe , something happens to add to the decay . I know that maybe I am being a little naive when I say things like this , but for once just once you think to yourself that you are pretty happy with the way things are .                                                                       When these type of events happen , its very easy to lull yourself into a little false sense of security . I mean no one wants to hear bad news . No one wants to be faced with change ...

                                                             Throughout my life I have always kinda wanted to have some sort of hold on what goes on around me . You should probably be able to identify with what I am going to write . Or maybe not , either way it should hopefully provoke you into having an opinion . That when you get old enough and hopefully wise enough , you can decide confidently what path you should take in dealing with a particular problem .                                                               You see I can tend to oversimplify things , and maybe that's the root cause of my problem . For instance . If someone has a broken leg it should be fixed and rese...

                                                                        Today's a good day ! The sun is shining , I have a chance to sit alone with my thoughts , and write them down . I don't get this opportunity often , so when I do I would normally read or watch a football match . But today is different . Today I am in conversation with myself , and I am having a discussion on whether it is right to talk to oneself , or is it just another idiosyncrasy that speaks to me every so often ?                                                                         Sometimes it's kinda okay to do this sort of thing . But then sometimes it...
