I am Woman

I learnt to touch type, do shorthand, but within a month realised working in an office wasn’t for me. Several jobs later (wages clerk, working atContinue reading “I am Woman”
Should It?
This week https://pensitivity101.wordpress.com/2023/03/07/truthful-tuesday-7th-march/ question is about ”spare the rod, spoil the child”. Growing up, being hit never really did me any harm.

Little mice, with their own life to lead.Continue reading “Night, Night”
Family
This week from https://gmgblog.ca/2023/03/06/five-word-weekly-challenge-2310/ Serene, that’s what it was. Amongst all the bubbles, she put the ear plugs in, and settled down to read her book. The balance of family, and time spent alone was not a constant battle. She loved them, would give her life for them, but sometimes she needed a little bitContinue reading “Family”

In My Defence
Written for https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/2023/03/05/sunday-poser-122/ It depends what I have done, if I feel I am right in my decision, I will back myself all the way. However, there will be times when I have made mistakes. Nobody is perfect, and the old saying, those in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. Being right isn’t always the bestContinue reading “In My Defence”

My children should remember me, butContinue reading “Remember Me”
