And Its Goodnight From Me - Dali

Dali is a smooth haired black and white adolescent tom cat. he is a pristine mog, and very particular about his grooming and appearance to the point of obsessive at times.He is, for his sins, named after one of my great heroes of art, Dali. I am sure Salvador would have expected nothing less.Like his name sake Dali cat likes to make grand gestures. Dali is a friendly soul both towards the cat family and his human servants. His favourite treat is a creamy rice pudding and catnip buttons. He is also partial to strawberry cheesecake. Yes Mr Dali has a sweet tooth. His favourite sleep place is under the settee from which he pounces on the unwary human passing by.

600 Seconds at Lunch - I am Always Proud of My Children For ...

My boys are my pride and joy. I am so proud of how they are young men who have learned to be true to themselves. That means more than anything in the world to me. My own mother was one of those people who used those emotionally blackmailing words, If you loved me... I swore I would never love my boys conditionally. My love for my sons is absolutely unconditional. I want them to be happy to be themselves and not live their lives for their mother as I have for too many years. Its been a painful heartbreaking time learning to live for me and be happy with who I am. I will never put my beloved boys through that. They mean too much too me to be that cruel.

Morning Pages - Not Such an Ill Wind After All

I am sure everyone has experienced the feelings that something can bring nothing but wrong or bad. Often these instincts are right. On the occasions they are not it is a wonderful feeling discovering something is not as bad as we thought it would be.

When you think you are entering a closed tunnel, that relief is finding out you have options you did not realise existed. Worry and stress are at best an inconvenience at worst dangerously unhealthy. For me I found yoga and organic living at a time I was in suicidal depression and diabetes was causing me major health problems. What had I actually done wrong, I had stopped caring about and making time for me. Yoga gives me my space, a change to an organic diet has allowed me to taste food and enjoy it. I have somehow dropped several stone in weight - I am not eating a slimming diet. Yes I feel better for that and my diabetes is back under my control instead of it controlling me. I ain't complaining any.
