10 REASONS WHY CHANGE IS GOOD

Her Journey Towards Change

Why is it so difficult for many of us to deal with and accept changes in life? After all, isn’t it normal?

Maybe change is difficult because we associate it as something negative. Maybe it makes us uncomfortable. Or perhaps it just seems too difficult because we are afraid of failing.

It’s sometimes easier to see change as a possibility and easier to accept the idea once the old year ends and the new year comes in. Resolutions are made and the clock strikes midnight. The revisiting and renewing the idea of a new YOU looks attainable but not long into the new year, we begin to rethink our strategy. Taking a leap into something untried is scary, so we resist. Sometimes we make a half-hearted effort attempt and then we drift back into the same old same old.

We all know this scenario all too well. But I’m here…

Dancers

A Faded Romantic's Notebook

My dreams

are often filled

with shadows

thin echoes

sad whispers

fading ghosts.

But sometimes

they are filled

with dancers.

Beautiful

elegant

sensual

dancers.

Perhaps tonight

you will dance

for me.

Rory Asks; Courtesy or discourtesy

Keep it alive

Rory had raised a very important point here. He asks;

There are many forms of discourteous behaviour …

What are your Top 5 bugbears?

I feel that the concept of being polite has taken a backseat in most countries and cultures of the world nowadays.

The things that irritateme most are;

• Intolerance

This is a change that has come over people gradually over the years.Nowmost people, young and old exhibitintolerancetowards others. It may be due to the everyday stresses they are goingthrough but intolerance has reached new heights.

• Selfishness

Looking after number one has neverbeen more true than now.People are concernedaboutthemselves first of all and in this, they ignore the harm they can do to others.

• Cutting lines;

In traffic, or while standing in queues, theyare in too much

Coward

Great Post!

The Cheesesellers Wife

She has parked behind me
putting her vehicle
and her body
in the way of traffic to protect me
and I let her
coward that I am

On the edge of a dangerous road
engine failed
lorries flash past only inches away
I shiver in February cold
dressed in office skirt and heels
look in my rear view mirror

Young woman
half my age
earning less than half my salary
public servant and protector
risking herself for me
and I let her
coward that I am

When the rescue truck finally arrives
the driver too scared to remove my car
she quietly tells him his legal duty
returns to her patrol car
I walk over and thank her
she smiles
tells me it’s her job
one she loves

As we leave
she blue lights away to another shout
smiling and waving farewell

I Knew

Sarah Doughty

“Don’t you see? It’s always been you.
I knew I would fall for you.”

Don’t you see? It’s always been you. From the first moment I saw you, I felt the spark ignite between us. When we spoke I felt the potential for what passion we might share. And if I’m being completely honest with myself, it was that first day. I knew right then I wanted to spend my life with you.

And I don’t regret it
for a second.
