Today there is sadness

Today there is sadness

I'm often quite happy
I feel quite alive
My friends and my family, my faith are my life
It's natural to laugh and be child like and fun
I choose to see joy through the life of my son

But

Today there is sadness
Today there is loss
Today I feel weighed down and tired out and cross
Today there are burdens 
Today will be long
Today there is sadness
Today she is gone

Choose life.

I am finally admitting that I'm finding life hard. My mum has died. My fish has died. And a bit of my drive and motivation has died too. But I'm finding life in other things. My family immediate and extended, my friends and my creativity. I have found that through opening up I have become vulnerable and full of pain, so much so that tiny little things are painful. But through my opening up others have too, and that is soothing and healing. Everyone has different views on mental health and dealing with it. This is mine right now.  My favourite things  Raindrops on roses and sunshine for running Sleep with no wake ups so I don't feel done in Thoughts of free time once the microwave pings These are a few of a my favourite things  Hair with no sick in (and clothes for that matter) Facebook debacles and  3am  natters Strictly, X Factor and creative springs These are a few of my favourite things When I'm lonely When I'm anxious When I'

Be prepared!!

Today we must all have lots to do to prepare for Christmas;  put up the tree, hoover the house, make sure the lights work- which you know they won't, buy new lights, wrap presents, take out your inheritance to buy stamps, phone people you haven't bothered to speak to all year to get their address proving you haven't spoken to them all year,  post cards, and all the other things you know you have to get done.  Then for us this year there's a whole new level of preparations for our new and imminent arrival- find clothes that fit me, buy clothes that fit me, sort out a push chair, find the spare room under all the junk, change the spare room into a nursery- the lists seems endless!  Usually I plot all the reminders into my phone and then watch TV stressing about how to get it all done- instead of getting it all done- but I turned to my bible instead.  Because today is the 1st of December- (apparently not advent til tomorrow) and so a good day for thinking about what

A duck in a dartboard.

Many years ago I went on a TFG (Twyford Fellowship Group) weekend. This is no big deal, I went on loads but on this partciular one we were experimenting with prophecy. I seem to remember we had alot of pictures of sausages and other amusing sources of prophecy (which all amazingly meant something to someone) but I had a picture of a duck in a dartboard. Stay with me :0) The thing about throwing a duck in a dartboard is it isn't really very effective. Obviously I haven't ever tried but I can imagine that there would be quite alot of resistant from said bird and the pub owners (or wherever your dartboard is located) may be resistant to you bringing birds into their establishment in the first place, but the main point is a duck isn't fit for purpose (had to get the middle management speak in there somewhere). In order to score a bullseye you need a dart. I had an amazing but sobering picture this morning -possibly 20 years on from that prophecy but least said about that
