Looking After Number One

So how do I practice self-care? I realize it’s a wellness thing. To be of any use to others, you need to look out for yourself. It slightly brings to mind the 1977 Boomtown Rats hit, Looking After Number One. When it was released, I heard it on Irish radio, and I rightly predicted that … Continue reading Looking After Number One

The Best Thing About Me

Whatโ€™s my favorite thing about me? I can wiggle my eyes ๐Ÿ˜€. I’ve only ever met one other person who could do that. I’m upset that I’ve never got the credit I deserved for doing it ๐Ÿง. There just doesn’t seem to be much of a demand for eye wigglers ๐Ÿ˜ซ, at least not in … Continue reading The Best Thing About Me

When I’m 64

The retirement age in Ireland used to be 65. Recently, they pushed it up to 68 and thankfully brought it back down to 66 after much protest. I don’t know why Paul McCartney chose 64. The funny thing is, he’s now nearly 20 years older and he still hasn’t retired๐Ÿ˜€. I went to a Paul … Continue reading When I’m 64

Moments Like These

My favorite moments are when something that others might take little notice of hits me in a special way.Two things that I can think of is when a baby smiles at me, such as when my youngest daughter first smiled at me, and when I’m in a beautiful place, such as ladies view, Killarney: It’s … Continue reading Moments Like These

Others see it as some cause that you might have strong feelings about, such as global warming. Then, perhaps some simply see it as what your hobbies are. Someone … Continue reading Passion

Forever Autumn

So what’s my favourite season? Autumn! I like the fact that the seasons change more than anything. They even change in my Forza Horizon 4 game! All seasons have appealing and unappealing features. For whatever reason, I like autumn best. Maybe part of it is making a fresh start after the summer break and looking … Continue reading Forever Autumn

I Am With You Always

Throughout my career, at various points, I would have spent most of my day largely with one person. In later years, I worked from home. I might be “with someone” in the sense that they’d be the person I interacted with most. But, perhaps some would work with mainly one person throughout their whole lives, … Continue reading I Am With You Always

Fear No Evil

The main fear that comes to mind is public speaking. I remember, way back in 1980, shortly after I committed my life to Christ, someone asked me if I’d like to share my testimony with the congregation. I declined, saying that I was too nervous to speak in public. Anyway, some months later, I was … Continue reading Fear No Evil

Joy to the World!

To answer that question, I need to consider the meaning of joy. It is much deeper than fun and happiness, but we should never play down fun and happiness. We have enough misery to deal with ๐Ÿ˜€. Provided we aren’t doing anything wrong or hurtful to others or ourselves, fun and happiness are to be … Continue reading Joy to the World!
