Share Your World—Week 14

What type of music relaxes you the most or do you prefer silence?I love singing to music on the radio. But cannot sing. So pity my husband, it hurts his ears!

Show us a two of your favorites photographs? Explain why they are your favorite. If you are not a photographer, think of a two favorite scenes in your life and tell us about them.

This is my favourite photo that I have taken. I love how the flower is bursting out of its pod.

I found this photo the other day repacking cupboards. It was my mother playing with her baby (me). It seemed such a tender moment.

What is your favorite tradition? (family tradition, church tradition, whatever)
We have a lunch on Easter Day and on Christmas or Boxing Day with friends of mine from South Africa. I have known them since 1993. They are like our “Sydney” family, and our children are like cousins I guess.

If you could go back and talk to yourself at age 18 what advice would you give yourself? Or if you are younger than 25 what words of wisdom would you like to tell yourself at age 50?
Relax, it will all be fine 🙂

Bonus question: What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?
Last week I watched “12 Years a Slave”. It really stayed with me. I don’t know if I’m grateful for watching it, but am glad I did. I am looking forward to Pilates on Thursday, and being on holiday. My time at home is nearly running out.

Thank you for reading 🙂

Blackened Night

night

I loved you in the dark
I loved you in the light
I loved the whole of you
All through the blackened night

Taken Away

image

We waited for you
And as each train steamed by
We held our breath
Hoping that this would be the one
Until our hope lay dead
In the very tracks that had taken you
Away from where you belong

Farewell, Coco

Our bunny’s dead
We cannot bear
The pain within our chest

We do not know
What caused his hurt
Or why he had to go

He was alive
And now he’s gone
Breathed his final breath

We love you, Coco
We wish you didn’t go!
xoxo

Dispute

I used my words
To speak my thoughts
I spoke my mind
To make my point
I made my point
My mind was heard
And now today
I pay the price
