Present Tense.

The Celebration of Christmas is OR perhaps should be- about much more than the giving and receiving of gifts. Religious or not. Christmas is primarily a time for family and friends. for making home rather then work a priority,for gathering to share food and stories,and for hospitality to those who might otherwise be alone.

And yet,as we anticipate Christmas,it is other not those precious acts of love that are uppermost in our minds. but rather the risky or even perilous business of gift giving. we may feel very willing to give gifts,yet struggle with our concerns. Will our presents "work"?Will they adequately convey what we feel?

The more nervous we become about choosing gifts the easier it is to fall back on asking people what they want and then providing it

Those gifts may be given with great love also yet without evena dash of surprise, they are unlikely to make Christmas giving as special as it can be.
These are all simple gifts that speak volumes about appreciation as well as connection. It is those thoughtful expressions of love that count -all year round.

"The most successful gifts are those for which the twin elements of anticipation and surprise overtake all else.That takes far more imagination than money"
All over my friends are still working for another years.

Christmas in Sydney

Today,  we had fun in Sydney with my grandchildren Millie & Jack and Vanessa & Andrew and of course Gypsy their Labrador.

We also had friends and family over for a BBQ and lots of fun times -- and yesterday we went to the beach.

"The price of speaking out"

There are insane moral judgments that now make me cringe. In domestic matters,at least,I am learning to keep my counsel.

I admire those who can do that.Not the ones at the far end of the spectrum who slap on smiles and always say the right thing, drab in their complacency,but those who adopt the art of thinking before speaking, weighing up the consequences before diving in. "The volue of the pause".Buddhists call it.Silence is for cowards, others say. but is it?

The flowers has nice to me! A raining to much ...

I have learnt the hard way that there areconsequences to being candid.Although there is never malice on my part, I have copped it for speaking my mind.
One who speaks her mind.It might be risky- not everyone will love you- but it's the only way to generate a meoningful connection.Something not on offer if it 's all smiles and watching your wards.

To speak from the heart with empathy and compassion is a contribution,however small,to a more meaningful life. You don't leave much of a legacy by keeping Mum.

A good exercise!

I love the Summer! espially those beautiful,warm light early mornings, that's about the time that a lot of are walking.
I've always been a joggls, so I can talk from pelssonal experilnce.It makes me fell all warm and fuggy when I'm traching along side  people who are in some exercise space as me.
Jogging in a natural thing for us Home sapiens but like most things involving excise.
Similarly if I try to bend the heel of the upperdown towards the inner the heel of the upper down towards the inner sole and it collapres, Then it's good bye time!!

Summer's Deadly Herald!

I feels like spring has been stolens, A few tendes buds some stimmaring warm days for few days after that we had rainning for so many days in now but we has (mouthing off)
Sommer is not suppurid to start like this certainly this country.

And always will be this early applarance of its dertrictine power is so frightening to those of us who have lined through. Ash wendnesday lack saturd day or arlier calamities.

Sporting efforts

I was enjoying the more relaxed game of golf with all my friends. It's been good just and really good fun and a friendly atmosphere. We've got some really good golf people looking to move into and becoming exciting good golfers.

It's important I keep players into the club and playing this great game. We are talking on what we are doing depending on out ability, so that in a way everyone can enjoy it.

If I wasn't competitive it will still be great being able to do what I love, and I work hard all the time. It was fantastic to be able to play and keep winning along with other golfers.

The longer my day is, the more fixated I became ,if became reliable companion.
The very definition of frenemy it's like a strange comfort to me.

Golfing Days are fun for everyone.
