He has my sympathy! News is never all good or all bad… Even if the news seems better, there always seems to be a but. The first thing that hit me when the results of the scan came in was that there was no tumour growing in my head. One huge sigh of relief! But…

Silent (and thoughtful) Sunday…

Image by bohacekmarek from Pixabay I never know if Sunday is the end of the week, or the beginning of a new one. Today, it’s the end of waiting and worrying for me, but it’s not as easy as that sounds. I have news, but it’s ongoing and hardly conclusive yet. But it has given me such a…

The Tuesday Poem… #Poetry
Jaye’s Thoughts Is anyone’s life perfect? I often wonder about this when people watching. I have always watched people, wondering who they really are, how they really are. What secrets they keep hidden, even from themselves. I watch people I know well, too, even though I know most of their secrets. I see the pain…
