THE MYSTERY OF SOMEWHERE

-
She is going somewhere, but where did she say? She's off to some place, going out for the day. But where—where has she gone? She did tell me. If I did not know, she wouldn't have said where. Was it somewhere near or far away? And now she's gone to that place—the exact place she mentioned to me. While I sit here reminiscing, trying to jog my memory.

She's gone off somewhere. I hope she has a lovely day, wherever that might be. I might go there someday—who knows when that will be? I'll travel to that place she visited today, if it appeals to me. A place with joy and pleasure, somewhere just to get away. I'll know if she enjoyed it by the returning smile on her face. I'll know if she didn't enjoy it by the frown on her face.

Wherever she's gone, I'm still right here. The exact spot where we said hello, nice day. She's gone off somewhere, and I've not moved from here. I've spent wasted time pondering, staring into space, about where she said she was going. So, I'll ask when she returns home: 'Remind me — where have you been today?' And then I'll see if I remember tomorrow where she's been today, when tomorrow becomes our yesterday.

You see, we're all going somewhere far beyond our yesterday; but only where the world's winds take us, bring us, leave us. That's one of life's big mysteries of the adventures unknown. Somewhere, anywhere, nowhere, or everywhere—it's ours to discover and reveal.

Yet I am still intrigued to remember whereabouts she has gone, and why she has not yet returned. Is she returning or has she gone somewhere forever?....

SHE HAS DONE IT

For some athletes 202.2 miles in a year might not seem a big deal. But for me it is a great achievement, especially when 54 years ago being told you would never walk. On Sunday depite foot pain and tiredness I pressed on and reached my goal 100 walks in 12 months. Those who really know me, know that when I put my mind to something there's no stopping me. On my birthday in 2024 I set myself a goal to walk 53 walks in my 53 years of life, complete it by 9th December 2025. By June I had completed 53 walks. I was then challenged to raise the bar and get to 100 by 31st December. At 3pm on 28th December I had finished walk 101. In my head I thought it was walk 98/99. I had walked 2 more than i thought.I have been using my Strava app to keep me on track, this was a personal challenge and not for a charity fundraiser.  If only those doubtful medics could see me now. Dr Bamford at Manchester Children's Hospital would be proud of me. Over the last few months the plantar fasciitis in my ...

  This Sunday evening across Scotland and native Scottish lands, There will be a fair few Burns night celebrations. It is the Scottish tradition known as Burns night. A Burns supper is a celebration of the life and poetry of the poet Robert Burns, the author of many Scots poems. The suppers are usually held on or near the poet's birthday, 25 January, known as Burns Night also called Robert Burns Day or Rabbie Burns Day. With haggis the main feast food eaten.   I think I only ever tried haggis once, I'm not scotish or have as far as I know  no Scottish anstestry.  Heres what I learnt about  it; Haggis is a traditional Scottish savoury pudding made from sheep’s offal (heart, liver, lungs), minced with oats, onions, suet, and spices, traditionally cooked in a sheep's stomach. It has a crumbly texture and nutty, peppery flavor. It is famously served with "neeps and tatties" (mashed swede and potatoes) on Burns Night. Um yes I can understand why not now. ...

EARTHS CARETAKERS

This weekend just gone i had the delight of stepping into my garden and seeing the tulip shoots popping up their heads. I had wondered a few weeks before had I not paid attention, had I misread the instructions; nothing seemed to be happening. I moved the troff so it had a chance of more sunlight and rain. And low and behold this weekend we have the first sign I had paid attention and thing in the garden are starting to grow and come to life. This got me thinking about God being the head gardener and how he appoints us to be the caretakers of earth.For creation was made by God, therefore creation rightfully belongs to God. Yet the God of love and mercy, graciously gave as a gift to humankind, with understanding that would look after it. God made us caretakers of His creation, He entrusted all He had made to us. God's caretakers" humanity is appointed by God to be stewards, managers, and cultivators of creation. This role involves exercising stewardship over the Earth's en...
