Ten Things of Thankful 105 #10Thankful

Been staring at this for about an hour, in between zapping through tabs of other things because I’m tired and can’t focus. I can’t write right, right? So I’m gonna shorthand this, because it’s STILL a TToT weekend, even if 1000Speak is happening, and my brain is utterly full of ALL THE THINGS. So full…

Sometimes The Village needs a little sugar (a #1000Speak post)

Wednesday. *sigh* Unprepossessing and laying claim only to the distinction of ‘hump day’ – that one in the middle you need to get over, get through, get past, to achieve the mental decline (and relief) afforded by being that little bit closer to the weekend. I heaved myself out of the torpor induced by Office…

A Slip of the Lit. – Not Without My Father (Endorsement)

My initial reaction to Andra Watkins’ book ‘Not Without My Father: One Woman’s 444-Mile Walk of the Natchez Trace’ was to baulk, absolutely, at the premise. I walk. I run. I cycle. And that’s a truly, gut-clenchingly HUGE distance to go. Alone. Added to which, who even does that? Well Andra does – did –…

Ten Things of Thankful 104 – #10Thankful

I’m going to try this for ONE MORE WEEK, because at the moment, in all honesty, it’s just not working out and I’m absolutely ready to quit and just do what works for me – which doesn’t appear to be THIS. I have absolute confidence that everyone can manage to continue their lives without worrying…

By his side

I’m lying absolutely still next to my sleeping son, adrift in my thoughts when I notice his silhouette appearing around the corner, shrouded in darkness and nighttime haze. “I missed you – I woke up without you again and I thought you’d be here with him but I just had to check…” His voice is…

A Slip of the Lit. – Andra Watkins (Author Interview)

There’s a funny thing which can happen in this world between the wires – you can find that in spite of never having met the people you hang out with online, you get to know them very well indeed, and often have a better idea of the state of their heart and soul than the…

Ten Things of Thankful 103 #10Thankful

Come in, come in – gather yourself and your tambourine around the fire, and please don’t sneeze at the incense I’m burning – it all adds to the atmosphere, along with the plinky-plunky music, because, you see, I’ve turned into a hippie. Apparently! It’s been quite the revelation. Of course, it was largely Vince’s fault…

Pinnacle

Even as I realise this is happening – and this is happening – my lungs seize and it’s as though all the blood rushes away from my core and tries to quick-pulse itself out through my skin, leaving my fingertips tingling, my head buzzing with a faint, pulsating rush, and my feet as though they’re…

An ENORMOUS amount of egocentric information

I’m not even kidding – there is about to be a HUGE amount of information here, All About Me (isn’t it always?). Don’t believe me? I’m about to respond to a Liebster award nomination (thanks Henrietta) and a tag for ’50 Things That Make Me Happy’ (courtesy of Louise), and I’m even tempted to jump…
