Winter drawers on

Yeah well that's living in England for you Winter's on its way which means less time at the keyboard (no heating in this room), I really must find out how to switch my central heating on one of these days, after all I've only lived here 15 years

Let's try that again shall we?
Good morning world! It's Monday morning, the start of a brand new week. Let's see if we can get through this one without causing too much damage.
I don't know about Hurricane Ivan but Hurricane Lilliebet sure did plenty. No wonder we Brits complain about the weather

The perfect words
You can shed tears that he has gone
or you can smile because he has lived
You can close your eyes and pray he will come back
or you can open your eyes and see all he has left
Your heart can be empty because you can't see him
or you can be full of the love that you shared
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday
You can remember him and only that he has gone
or you can cherish his memory and let it live on
You can close your mind, be empty and turn your back
or you can do what he'd want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on
....anon.
Thanks Bill, you always have the right words for every occasion....... and you're

Lessons in Love
I've made some big mistakes this week and learned some valuable lessons. Lessons I'll remember and, hopefully, learn from. Hey isn't that what lessons are for?
Don't ever assume that you know what another person is thinking or feeling just because they appear to be cool and together.
Don't let your own insecurities affect your judgement of them, they will be how they will be, not how you expect them to be.
Be proactive, not reactive: if you think something is wrong work to fix it, don't just sit there complaining about it.
Never let communication fail, whether it's positive or negative, it's necessary.
....and, most importantly, learn to trust and be trustworthy.

Love them anyway.
If you do good, people may accuse you of selfish motives.
Do good anyway.
If you are successful, you may win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.
Honesty and transparency make you vulnerable.
Be honest and transparent anyway.
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.
People who really want help may attack you if you help them.
Help them anyway.
Give the world the best you have and you may get hurt.
Give the world your best anyway.
--Mother Teresa
Just thought this needed saving, it's amazing how true these words are to me today, in more ways than one.
