The Things I Left Undone
When I was little, I had no clear idea of how life was going to pan out, except for a few ‘hallmark’ achievements and occurrences which were obviously going to happen along the way… …and didn’t.

Tear. You can have it both ways with this one – ‘tear’, as in the things which drown my eyes and shine tracks down my face in the lamplight; or ‘tear’, as in the portion of my heart which ripped and ripped again with each loss and each reminder. A year ago today I shared…
My Lovelies, if you’ve been around here for more than the odd occasion lately, you’ll know all about Jenny; the amazing lady I met a few weeks ago when I took post-hotel-conference food to distribute to the homeless people in the city centre (I’m not an angel – food waste is anathema to me when…
I’m gonna do it, for the distraction if nothing else. The week has still been a week, and good things happened in spite of the really awful. So there’s that. I mostly just still feel…numbish. But there have been times when I’ve laughed, and some were even caught on camera. Another rollercoaster week here inside…
Dear Life, You win. You’ve been winning for years, but I thought I was a fighter. I thought I had Right on my side. Or Love. Or *something*. And it’s not that there wasn’t love, not by any means – it was there. Lots of it. But you cheated. You fucking cheated.

Hello there and welcome to the weekend. Honestly, I could BURST with all the VeryGood things which I’ve been blessed with this week, and I’m SO happy I get the chance to share them with you here. I think I could write a far bigger list, but trying to re-name the hop as the ‘Considerably…
There are LOTS of things I’m thankful for, and which I’d love to share with you and celebrate together, but for some reason (maybe because I still have the tail-end of this cold (which has royally mucked up my week, and YES I’m fishing for sympathy, dammit!)) I can’t think of ANY kind of way…
If you’re reading this on Friday, I suspect two things: 1) You’re astonished to see this up so early (i.e. at the beginning of when the link-up’s meant to go live, not several hours after) 2) I’m still driving. You see, there will be absolutely NO way for me to write this post on the…
I’m not floundering. I don’t need rescuing or saving or ootzing back into some kind of shape which configures to the expectation I (or anyone else) had for myself. I just need to take a decent look at my week through…well…a different perspective.
