FEEDING OUR MINDS

Image
Have you read and heard the news today, how are we feeling right now?  Are you ready to  go exploring  or sit in the armchair;  Please read on. "Is it a healthy diet or a fast food fix." How do we feed our mind within the world around us? Are we feeding it breakfast, lunch, supper  and is it a healthy diet or a fast food fix. Our digestion is in important key, it is important because it has an impact on or mental health as well as our physical health. We can obtain negativity from anywhere, switching on the TV and bam it’s there right in front  of us. The news broadsheet thrives on giving it that dangerous fast food painful gut ache.  When was  the last  time you heard good news about any current situation or experience that lasted for  about twenty minutes.   Of course, we read and hear good news but often it just a quick  dusting  of the icing sugar.   Yes,  it is i...

NEW TIMES AHEAD

Image
The following poem was written on a Sunday afternoon (26/04/2020), from the pen of the thoughtful mind of Sarah Joy.  It is brought life as the rains thunders on the ground, following many sunshine days.  Writing is one way of getting our thoughts down on what is going on, unscrambling the brains thought patterns and trying to be as creative expressive in many forms as one can. THESE ARE THE NEW TIMES These are the hardest of the days as we grow longer apart These are the days our heart sags, for only comforted by virtual humans These are the days where virtual hugs are made spoken These are the days where rainbows become our new windows to the world These are the days we applaud our heroes of the Nations These are the days we question the news, as it spreads unnecessary fears These are the days we question the rights and wrongs These are the days of virtual classrooms, work-places n homes These are the days your Sunshine moves aw...

JUST BE YOU

Image
Well hello to you again dear reader; How are you in this crazy fully or partially isolate (lock down) world we find ourselves in? How are you finding it being you. Just being you, maybe a new exciting adventure or a really scary process.There is so much out there at the moment isn't there, with all the self help advice all the usual do's and don't's. But what happens when we just step back from it all and just be the person we were created to be. 'If it make's you happy, why not.' It is important to listen to the right advice at this time like how to keep our self's at social distancing and safe. But when it comes to hows, whens, why's of our own character; That is our choosing. We may want to be in our pj's all day that's called personal choice and I believe if it makes you happy why not.Just be you, let people see or hear the real imperfect, flawed, crazy, weird, magical , beautiful you. 'If we don't, allow ourselves time...

PANDEMIC DAYS

Image
So here we are finding ourselves learning a whole new way of living, that has been thrown upon our Nations. Our life's restricted to the minimum, a new set of rules and fast paced decisions of a global virus, that is claiming life after life. "The World keeps turning." But its a world that needs looking after, now more than ever, A world that needs to become more selfless than selfish.  It is frightening and frustrating time because we are experiencing the unknown way of living  But as they say the world still keeps turning, slowing down a little more than we are used to, is that such a bad thing. When we pass someone in the street trying to be two meters apart, when we struggle with the new ways of shopping, When the ques are outside the banks; When the police ask us to move on, when our NHS tries to help you. Remember we are not the only ones frustrated by these restrictions. "The Old world is dying, and a new world struggles to be born." Amidst...

CHANGING TIMES

Image
Hello, bare with me as you and I travel through my latest 'Wandering Thoughts'; I believe its toughest I've written to date.  I'm like many right now, we're uncertain of where it is heading or where the world is at.  I have tried hard to understand and how to write in these troubled times something so relevant that is foggy focused to many of us. I feel the title speaks for the content in which it writes hopefully to our heart and soul. "Everyone believes they have the answers" January night sky 2020 by Sarah Holden The world, in a matter of days has become more fearful;  It is fearful because change has hit our nations at such a speed and confusion that no one could possibly have predicted.  We are fearful because we've been faced with death on an extortionate scale. We have seen it coming from a distance and now suddenly becoming a day to day world that is trying to find answers and solutions to a crisis never witnessed before. Everyone believ...

DAILY JOURNALS

Image
So ones decided I'm running my own daily journal of my experiences of how its affecting me day by day. It won't appear on Social media, although certain extracts may appear in in my blogs. Why not try it for yourself.. Its to weird be even thinking this, because to most of us were all like, I haven't a clue whats going on or what I'm safe and legal to be doing, beyond our personal space of four or more walls. I've really struggled to give this blog a title, Is it politically correct to use Coronavirus in the title (I'm happy to take suggestions). Llyn Crafnant, Trefriw, photo by WT The purpose or theory to writing a journal post each day allows you to direct your focus, on what you've accomplished, what your grateful for and what you are committed to doing better tomorrow. Thus you enjoy your journey more each day. It could be a morning journal or an evening entry, you may even whilst you still can go sit in a park or any green space and let your t...

Happy International Women's Day 2020. To all the women who believe in us give us the courage to press on, see our worth when we can't see it for ourselves. Today we celebrate, all woman of every race, creed and nation; The Good, The Bad, The pretty, The Ugly. The Weird;  Weather famous or just people like ya mam or nan. IWD was founded way back in 1975 In 1977, the United Nations General Assembly invited member states to proclaim March 8 as the UN Day for women's rights and world peace. After the Socialist Party of America organised a Women's Day in New York City on February 28, 1909, German delegates Clara Zetkin, Kate Duncker and others proposed at the 1910 International Socialist Woman's Conference that "a special Women's Day" be held annually. After women gained suffrage in Soviet Russia in 1917,  So then the 8th March, became a national holiday there.[The day was then mainly celebrated by the socialist movement and the former communist count...
