It's an interesting emotion, that of pride, as it is often seen as positive and also a negative thing depending on the person and situation. I've felt pride in my achievements knowing how hard I've worked

The journey of the 2024 year began like always, in late 2023 when I laid down my goals based on where I wanted to be at the end of the year and on what I'd achieved in 2023. I set short, medium and annual

I do many things with my man, and he with me; we like each other's company which is handy considering we live under the same roof. Some of the things we do I will never mention here but not because I'm

I'm unsure if love can be defined but quite sure I cannot do so myself; I wonder though, is it something that needs to be defined or is it enough to simply feel it, experience and cherish it? I took this

In the last few days I've closed off my working year for 2024 and along the way had may conversations about what I, and others, are doing for Christmas as usually happens at this time of year. The difference

We each have perspectives, opinions, impressions and thoughts on the things around us, the past and what might happen in the future and depending on our location, upbringing, social-economic demographic,

We are all so different and yet similar in the way we feel and express things and the reasons for both. I may become annoyed about something you do not and may be excited about things you find boring.

It doesn't need much effort to see darkness in the world at the moment, it's everywhere we look and permeates through almost every aspect of life whether it's rising living costs, housing crisis, declining

Entertaining isn't my strong point which is partly due to not enjoying cooking very much and that my guy and I are very private people who mostly prefer our own company to that of others. It doesn't mean

It would probably be far more interesting to say I had an exciting weekend but I don't have any need to seem interesting to anyone but my guy, who definitely finds me so, and that's why I'm going to tell

The title suggests there's something magical in the bag or that I'd be able to reach in and pull a live dove or maybe a rabbit out of it but, as interesting as that would be, there's no tricks in there

There's so much about my life I look back on and think fondly of and have so many good memories of events which I've sought to replicate; I'd definitely not complain as it's been enjoyable, exciting and

We all like the thought of having luxuries in our lives, I surely do, and I believe we all deserve the luxuries we desire; although some people determine luxuries in different ways. Most probably think

I would certainly not describe myself as especially lucky. I have had luck, good fortune and many positive things occur unexpectedly, most of us probably have, however I don't think I'm lucky. When great

I had a half day off today and some little errands to run that took me to the shopping mall; while there, I sat for a coffee and baguette for lunch then took a walk around more out of curiosity than any

It's the middle of the weekend, a little past the middle actually, and it's been a good one so far with some more of that to come I think. I'd not planned to do anything much other than stay home over

I can't exactly recall, but maybe I've said before that I'm not much of a cook because I don't enjoy it enough to learn all the things that make someone good at it and tend to stick to a few tried and

It's not often, but sometimes I borrow a camera and play around with it; I'll get my own one day I suppose but considering there's one available that doesn't get a lot of use I figure I'll save the money

I know perfection doesn't exist although near perfect surely does and that's what yesterday was for me. From the moment I woke up, later than usual because I slept in, to the moment I climbed into bed
