Each week until October 2026 I will be posting a Blog about life.
I wouldn’t have said this twenty years ago, but I will now. I think our politicians around the world are letting us down. With a few exceptions, the majority of the leaders of countries, have seen it as a good career move, not a position of service to the population or their nation.
There is a saying if you can count more friends than the number of fingers on one hand you are very fortunate. Most people feel fortunate to have two or three.
We are all born to die. Whether we like it or not, it will happen. Of course it is not only human beings, it is every living, breathing thing on this planet. If we are all born to die, why is there such a fear of dying amongst many people?
When a parent looks back on how quickly their sons or daughters grows up, they realise how much they miss those quaint little ways. But that is part of being a parent. Children have to grow up. A parent wouldn’t want it any other way.
There might be books to tell you how to handle certain areas when bringing up a child, but as each child is different, what works for one might not work with another. I’ve raised two daughters, one we fostered, but my husband’s and my way of bringing up a daughter would probably be so different from how children are being raised today. I cringe when children throw tantrums in the supermarket. There is no way my daughter would have tried that.
A marriage certificate Is not a receipt of purchase. It is a signed partnership agreement. As such it is a legal document that lasts until one partner dies, or is legally cancelled. If cancelled a division is required of all assets to be equally shared or one partner must buy the other out of their shared possessions.
Here in Australia, for the past ten to fifteen years I have been watching the way the world has been changing. Yes, I am on the outside of many of the terrible happenings, but slowly and surely, those events are having an impact on my society, and societies around the world. For the better? I don’t think so. It seems to be for only a few people who are in power.
