I've finally made it back to the lair and see that the blog is silent. Well, might get a few stray comments yet, the midnight oil has yet to be burned.
It's been a strange week, the school holidays change the rhythm of life.
The tsunami in Samoa was tragic news, and seems like another has struck Indonesia.
Lives lost and others irrevocably changed in the blink of an eye. We all have a finite life, and we generally do not know how many days we have before us, so every day behind us is hopefully part of the journey that sees us become the best people we can possibly be. Some are on this journey to save their souls, others to spend them. Others still may not realise life is not a spectator sport. Even those who think they are on the sidelines are in the game.
I'm straying into one of those philosophical musings that make it appropriate to discuss three items of wisdom from around the traps:
* It was Henry Ford who said “Whether you think you can or can’t…you are right.”
* If you are going through Hell, then don't stop
* If you are going to criticise some-one, first walk a mile in their shoes. That way, if they are angry with your criticism, you are a mile away from them, and you have their shoes.
They all seem valuable pieces of advice.
