THE HENWATCH BLOG

                                                                            I've been playing around with a few things in my head recently , things that normally wouldn't bother me . But the other day I was befriended by someone who just simply bumped into me . I was walking in town , minding my own business and lost in my own thoughts , and lately thoughts were gonna be the last thing I was going have pit-patting around in my brain . Man there I go again , drifting away from the significance of the piece . Anyway , this guy  who bumped into me , apologized , and then proceeded to ask me for a cigarette . I think it was obvious that I smoked , butt hanging from my lip was a dead giveaway , he then joined me in smoking that cigarette and we sat down on an empty bench . Anyone who smokes will tel...

                                                                                I was out in the garden yesterday , you know , pruning for the winter season and such . It was quite blustery , in fact there were a lot of speedy gusts about blowing me and my plants all over the place . Expected I suppose at this time of year , though not welcomed by me especially ! You see I suffer from what is commonly termed " Flyaway Jinnyjoe Head " ! It's not something I worried or cared about previously , but as the years go by it's beginning to be less funny . Sure , I used to laugh it off when after being in the garden for any length of time I passed by an offending mirror only to be faced with the " The Flyaway Jinnyjoe Head " . And really it was something to behold !         ...

I Don't Wanna Be A Fool !                                                                           Continuing from where I left off six months ago , I am still in awe of everyone's ability just to wake up every morning and get on with their lives . It has taken these six months for me to come to terms with all that has happened . The time taken has given me renewed energy and thought to piece together where and how I went from being unavailable , to suddenly becoming available . I have to thank my wife for her continued understanding and support , without which I just couldn't have continued my reading and comprehension of what it truly means to be human . You see she has that sort of energy , she's extremely thoughtful that way . She possesses the one true element of human nature that sadly I and s...

                                                                        The lengths we go to just to assert ourselves .The time we spend just wanting not approval but validation in our everyday lives . You see the great obstructions in our lives , the things that stop us from progressing and going forward ,are the things we have created ourselves as part of our defence mechanisms , that will only allow us to go so far . Will only allow us to take two steps forward and always one step back . What is it that restrains us all ? Why are we so unforgiving of ourselves ? I mean we haven't committed some unspeakable crime or crimes that need to be hidden away . That need us to move house , lock stock and barrel , just to feel safe and whole . That make us feel less challenged , and maybe , just maybe a little less u...

                                                                       I have been writing quite a few years now , and it never ceases to amaze me where my readers come from and just how powerful the internet is . Today I would like to welcome readers from Nepal , Bangladesh and India to our enlightened pages . Just goes to show the power of sharing !                                                                        Hitherto I wouldn't have had any reason to assume the importance of anything I have written , but as time goes by I go over many of the blogs I have written and each time I do that I get a better understanding n...

                                                                        Oh God , not another post Christmas blog . Well if I am being honest , and because of today's date and it's proximity to the Christmas date , I suppose it's difficult to see how it would not be considered a post Christmas blog taking all things into consideration . Let us shy away from everything holly & ivy and simply relaunch ourselves shall we ? So with that firmly established and our thoughts firmly on the future , let us pave the way for an almighty entrance in to the New Year .                                                                        Now...
