A magical host (also known as a tribe)

P1050615

Above my home last night the sparrows gathering and grouping, preparing.  Magical and mesmerising to me.

Not sure if I can add video but I plan to film them tonight and show on here if possible just in case you have not seen this before.  The collective ‘whoosh’ noise and down draft is amazing!

Have you witnessed this phenomenon ? What do you think? Any and all comments welcomed.

Maybe someone can tell me if videos are allowed on here?

On the edge

P1050607

BUT I beat it again.  Days and days it was tightening its grip because I was weak, vulnerable due to life suffocating me with things I could not face but I did not run, I walked oh so slowly and little by little I hit the negative thoughts with positivity and now the day after I am not sure how exactly but that is of little importance to me right now.  The fact is I did.

How lovely is this P1050541

More lovely to me as this area has so much importance personally from 37 years ago to now.  Now, now that I live minutes from here, the place where ‘it’ all started, but thats another story!

Suffice to say, today I have mind fucked my mind (ha ha Sues) and its working.  Right now its working ~ victory for now at least.

Still

water-drop-stock-photo-03

Stuck again

but the panic left

via the drain

maybe?

Dreaded done

awful place

still frowning

still scared

still can’t do

what i need

Strength where did you go

take more pills

they did the trick

didn’t they?

Still, yes still

cannot do

stuck but still

have to move

be calm

be wise

be you

the real you

but still?

A bit more about me

Short, sweet and surprisingly crazy
Often I am told that good things come in small packages to which I have often replied ‘and so does poison’!  This is not to say that I am evil or bad, I just dislike it when people judge a book by its cover. Things are rarely as they appear or seem to be. I’m told I am crazy these days but that doesn’t stop me being a good friend to have, a great listener and always try to put myself in anothers shoes when necessary.

All of a sudden from our carefree teenage years to being considered old, realising that we are simply repeating what our parents did, just in an up to date way which is exactly the same as they did, and yes time does pass way more quickly the older you get…….that was quite a realisation to accept.  So make the most of your life as best you can and try not to ‘waste precious time as you never know what is around the corner, good or bad.

Missing you in England

bright-sun

Please come back soon 😦

Choices ~ Crossroads ~ Publish

Crossroads_in_Free_Heath_-_geograph.org.uk_-_1658652  So I am finally here at one of those crossroads in life.  After more than a year of if’s, but’s & maybe’s the moment is happening…..I think?!

I had a meeting with my work bosses yesterday and finally I have a direction.  It may not be a direction many would like, they may even fear and in truth I am rather fearful for sure!  Now is the time my ‘new world’ will be waiting.  Waiting for me to put in practice all or at least some of the things I have thought and said I would like or can possibly do.  The final decision is out of my control and I have to wait for unknown persons to review me and decide.  Decide what the basis of my life will be!!!!  Please make it the best it can be in view of my circumstances whoever you are.

I am no longer to be employed in a role I have done for almost 15 years.  I soon will not have an employer as such.  It is so weird and I do not think I can take to in properly yet.  I now have to wait to see if I can get the best deal from it all and that seems to be ill health early retirement.  I am just (relative to some I realise) 53yrs old so I do at least, health limitations allowing, a chance to make something of myself.  By that I mean make something I want to be and not what others expect and or need me to be.  Oh and argh and eek!  Even as I write, its starting to scare me just that little bit more.

On good days I feel I could rule the country but on bad days I couldn’t even squash a tomato or fight my way out of a paper bag lets be honest.  There lies my problem, my ‘issues’ are so variable so this just adds a complexity I would rather not have but I do have it so, Anne ( yes I talk to myself ALL the time) you have to make some decisions, you need to earn money to be able to live.  How the heck???!!!!

Life’s crossroads and choices, they define us as they will lead us onwards.  Whether the path they take us down are right or wrong or will help or hinder us, that is what none of us know.  All we can do is make the best of them and have the strength to alter then yet again if they end up not working out.

Well this seems to be a proper right on ramble from me.  I have just let my mind and fingers (that are good today ~ yay, yippee!) type away in what I hope is not a load of nonsense but then if this is, thats my head so I have to accept this.

Ah yes, it seems my body is good today so maybe the opposite of that is that my mind is extra mush ~ ha ha ~ who knows?  Only your comments will tell me that I guess.  Of course if there are no comments then that also tells me something!!

Have a great day, evening or night guys and I will be back later or in the morning and at this moment I have no idea what I will publish but then…………maybe that curiosity helps?  Not even checking what I have typed now as I know I will only go back change a lot or even worse case scenario not publish, so here goes…….I am about to hit that oh so scary PUBLISH button ~ ha ha ~ here goes 🙂
