Written for https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/category/sunday-poser/ What is better, nationalism or humanity? This is a simple answer; showing kindness. Sometimes nationalism, being proud of the country we live in, is used in the wrong way. When we are playing football, flying the Union Jack is a sign we are rooting for our football, rugby, hockey team. However, itContinue reading “Kindness”

Being a Mum
Written for https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/category/sunday-poser/ The best part of my life is when I became a mum and a grannie. My children are my greatest joy, and I remember holding them and wondering how we created something so perfect. My daughter is the oldest. Our son, born five years later, made our little family complete. I wouldContinue reading “Being a Mum”
Understanding
Written for https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/category/sunday-poser/ We should teach our children empathy, understanding and love. Humans are all different, and some need more help than others. Whether it is a hidden disablity such as Autism, ADHD, mental illness or one you can see more easily, such as being in a wheelchair. Nobody deserves to be mocked for beingContinue reading “Understanding”
Name Blindness
Written for https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/category/sunday-poser/ I have trouble remembering names. Working in a school, there are many I have to remember. Teachers I perceive as easier because if I cannot recall from a previous meeting, I am able to just say miss or sit and avoid punishment with it. When it is a child, that is moreContinue reading “Name Blindness”
Blogging
Written for https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/category/sunday-poser/ My initial reason for blogging was to promote my novel ‘‘It Won’t Happen Again’’. My daughter helped with the book cover and design for ‘‘Writer Ravenclaw’’. Although I never got the sales I hoped for, I found a group of talented authors with a like-minded love of writing. I started taking partContinue reading “Blogging”
A Blur
Written for https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/category/sunday-poser/ I have no sense of direction. When anyone gives me instructions on what way to go, I remember only the first part of the conversation. My husband expects me to understand every single instruction, but after the first sentence, all I get is turn left, and the rest is a blur. ItContinue reading “A Blur”
Cheap and Cheerful
Written for https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/category/sunday-poser/ I am definitely not a snob in the coffee, tomato ketchup, or where I shop. Drinking decaffeinated, I purchased the own brand, and discovered it to be just as delicious as Nescafe. Heinze red sauce is so expensive, at nearly four pound for a small bottle. Does the low-cost version taste lessContinue reading “Cheap and Cheerful”
Good Surprises
Written for https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/category/sunday-poser/ I wouldn’t want to know my future. Living your life, rather than thinking about what could happen. If we knew something bad was going to occur, it might consume your life trying to change something that we can do nothing about. It is also nice to have good surprises and share themContinue reading “Good Surprises”
Common Sense?
Written for https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/category/sunday-poser/ We all have an opinion on something; when I am blogging, I keep that to myself. Mostly about politics and religion. The same with family. I don’t like confrontation and these topics could cause arguments. It is different with my grown up kids because through them I understand life a little better.Continue reading “Common Sense?”
Physical
Written for https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/category/sunday-poser/ Before Amazon, we would have to go to a physical shop. It helped with spending habits because you had time to think about what you were buying. Although, as https://jimadamsauthordotcom.wordpress.com/author/newepicauthor/ said, credit cards make it too easy to spend. I don’t have them anymore; hopefully learnt my lesson. If I am withoutContinue reading “Physical”
