  • I’m having a difficult time trying to deal with too many things at once. Like everyone else I have a limit to how many different issues I can cope with at once, although my limit seems to be much lower than the “average” persons. When I get overwhelmed like this I don’t even know where

  • Musings

    We as a society (in the west at least) seem to have developed this idea that Mistakes are BAD. I don’t really understand why. Everyone makes mistakes, it’s part of being human. Mistakes themselves are Neutral. It’s how they came about/how you deal with them that’s important. I personally feel that being honest, owning your

  • The Black Dog

    Has started biting again. I am tired of the world today. I feel like a soldier that’s trapped in a never ending war. I can’t keep up with the demands life puts on me. And the people that are meant to come to my rescue are more interested in pushing paper around then actually saving

  • I’m great in an emergency. I can stay calm, quickly assess what needs to be done, shout like a battlefield Sergeant, and generally sort shit out. I don’t understand why I have this particular skill however since I am completely incapable of organising myself, let alone others, in every day life. As a single mother

I’ve always encouraged them to be curious about the world, I believe choosing to be ignorant is the only real sin and that knowledge of all kinds is important. How can you expect your children to make good decisions

  • To each, their own

    Everyone is an individual. Each person, as unique as a snowflake. The things you love, somebody else probably dislikes. The thing you dislike are possibly as dream come true for another. One man’s trash and all that. But who in the Bazillion people we have on this planet likes Red tape? I seem to spend

It’s not just that you immune system is diminished but conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis can become more likely. The mental health condition, depending on the type, has an impact

  • Introspection

    When psychology first started up, it’s main tool was introspection – the examination of one’s own mind. This has somewhat fallen by the wayside, not being scientific enough, I suppose. How can you understand the mind of another if you don’t understand your own? I wonder if the real reason we stopped was that it

  • Scattered Petals

    I’ve noticed these posts are all over the place which, to be fair, is rather how my brain operates. Probably doesn’t make it much fun for anyone actually trying to read this though. I’ve found over the years that I have to try to corral my mind by giving it things to work on or
