Exactly As I Am

When observant as only someone who is slightly obsessed can be, you can learn a lot about your subject of interest. I have a tendency to fill in the gaps between knowledge with my own imagination. Unfortunately for Norm he has to hear my theories about life. I am obsessed with birds, past the normal …

Time Warped

Last Saturday I had 2 of my girlfriends around for a visit. The weather had been fine all week, but then on Sunday we woke to rain and overcast skies. I decided it was too chilly for normal humans to sit outside (I do not feel the cold). I usually make an effort if entertaining …

Am I That One?

This week I heard someone talking about not wanting to be 'that kindergartener who thinks that their artwork is amazing while everyone else looks at it sadly'. OK maybe that sadness is only when it is a pensioner instead of a kindergartener - else it is just sparkling disappointment, or something like that. Your honour, …

Eyes Towards The Prize

It is hard to believe that it is already almost September and therefore almost my birthday! I am turning 65 on the 3rd of September, so I will officially be a pensioner. I made several suggestions of things I desire and Norm says it sounds more like a Scavenger hunt than a birthday list. A …

Blowing Hot & Cold

South Africa has such vast open skies that sometimes you can be fooled into thinking it is warm outside because you look out the window and the sun is out and it is so bright that the light could blind you. Then you leave the house dressed in a lightweight top and flip flops and …

A Conversation With My Psoas

You may think that my Psoas is getting a lot of airtime lately and you would be right. It is quite literally my entire focus at the moment. I have read that some schools of thought are that the psoas is not a muscle at all, but rather an organ. Every day I log on …

Moving With Intention

Last Saturday was very relaxed. I did interact with a newly identified bird, the Olive Thrush. It came down to the roof of the shed first and watched me for a few minutes. Then he dropped down onto the turf and started pecking at a piece of apple that I had given Poppy. Before she …

Monkey Business

Last Friday was my Mom's birthday so we rang her and had a long chat and she sent a picture of the adorable solar light we had sent her. You see I came by my rabbit addiction quite naturally. Her friends had taken her out for lunch and my uncle had taken her out during …

Moon Beams and Moonlight

I once asked a teacher 'what is trauma? at what level of pain do you go to in order to know what is important enough to document?' We were creating a 'Descansos' which I have written many posts about, so you can either do a search for the word in the search field on my …

The Light Bearer of Truth

Time flies by so quickly, I also find that the older one gets, the more it seems to accelerate. I was ill with my stomach for 3 weeks so avoided everyone in case of germ transfer, then Caitlin was having a visit with her dad and brother for a week, and the next thing you …
