Like most words, happiness has a range of meanings. Sometimes “happy” might mean “pleased”. I think of the hymn “At the Cross”, with the line “And now I am happy all the day.” I assume that the writer means that he was always pleased when he reflected on his salvation. I hardly think that he … Continue reading And Now I Am Happy All the Day 😊

Generally speaking, when I think of skills that I’d like to master, I consider my various careers, leisure interests and spiritual interests. I’d like to have been better at everything. My careers centered around mechanical engineering, teaching, Christian work, and IT. And I’ve always been keen on playing musical instruments – mainly keyboard and guitar. … Continue reading Hymn Writing

Well, I haven’t grown physically. At my age, people sometimes start to grow smaller rather than taller 😀. Hopefully that won’t happen for a while yet. Mentally? I don’t know anything that I can associate specifically with this year. Over the last few years, I’ve been adjusting to being in my sixties. It still feels … Continue reading Spiritually I Hope

I like my 20-year-old self. Maybe I’d tell him to stay 20 forever. Hopefully, I’ll be around 20 in heaven, or 18. I think of that as my proper age. Maybe I’d be more keen to listen to him than have him listen to me. 1982/1983 were happy years for me. I lived in London, … Continue reading Stay 20 😀

I ‘d need to use AI to write a guide to setting healthy boundaries in relationships. I’m a 20th century person. I’m a bit out of my depth in the 21st century. I cope with it all by instinct. I don’t really analyze it. I have lots of wonderful memories of so many people throughout … Continue reading Me? Write a Guide? 😱

Here’s an excuse to post one of my favourite songs from 1973 that I used to listen to on my transistor radio, which I bought with my confirmation money 😀. At the time, I didn’t know what it was about. In later years, I discovered that it was about a young girl escaping into movies … Continue reading Is There Life On Mars?

Finally, a question that I can’t answer 😀. I hardly know what a meme is. I first heard the term at a lecture back in 2007, which was held in Maynooth. Theologian, Alister McGrath, mentioned the term in a talk that he gave about Richard Dawkins’ The God Delusion. I can’t remember what he said. … Continue reading A Meme? 🧐

Firstly, cultural traditions make a country distinctive, so I’m not sure if it would be a good idea to mix and mingle them. But it might be fun if ethnic minorities invited us to get partially involved in their traditions. I remember going to the Notting Hill carnival a few times in London back in … Continue reading Thanksgiving

Well, I would think that most people do plenty of research. However, whenever I meet visitors in Limerick, I always urge them to head to the coastal areas rather than hang out in cities like Limerick. Any coastal area would probably do. And Kerry is my personal favourite. My first visit to Killarney, one of … Continue reading Not Visiting Kerry
