We have had a lovely
relaxing day just some housework and family time. I have pealed so many
vegetables I have a blister on my finger…. Honestly, what am I like? I have
never had a blister with pealing veg. but there was a load. Hub was making
turkey stew and I needed veg for our dinner tonight.
Oh, dinner was delicious. Around the table a proper family
meal. I love it when we are together eating, conversations and good food. We had
the big door open and the birds serenaded us and the early evening sun still
found its way through the windows. I bought some lilies last Saturday, and they
still are looking beautiful and smell even better! I keep them on my dining
table as it’s glass, so hopefully easier to remove the stains that sometimes lilies
cause when they start to fall.
Watching a program
earlier they were talking about children getting pocket money. Saying that kids
today got on average a thousand pounds per year. One presenter said she paid
her children £10, to wash the dishes. £10? I need that job…. Another lady said
that when she was a child, she had to do things like dish washing etc as a
chore, and wouldn’t expect to get paid for it. The first lady said that when
she was a child, she had to deliver newspapers to get pocket money. But she
went on to say to prove she really isn’t in touch with the real world of today.
“Imagine if we asked kids today to deliver papers? They wouldn’t do it.””
Em, excuse me honey,
but who do you think delivers newspapers today? Children, just like in years
gone by, the same lady obviously is from a rich family, went on to say she
delivered the papers with her Mum driving her where she needed to be…. And what
about a bike or backpack? Oh, my word, talk about a different world. The same
person said how her children are home schooled. Gosh, I hope they, learn about
life.
Thought for today. Regrets.
I was talking with someone today who has a huge regret. But what is regret? Something
you now, wished you had done way back or not too long ago in your life? at the
time, you had a choice, now you know it was the wrong decision. But there is
nothing you can do about your past apart from make things better for now and
your future. No matter how much you regret, and I’m sure more people have
regrets than have feelings of impenitence, but at the end of the day, what is
done is done, but what can you do, is the question.
There are people in my life I am so pleased to have said
goodbye to, but there are people I have never really said hello to but dream to
meet one day. Those people I could have met so many years ago, but life told me
not to. Now I’m older and I hope wiser, I need to put things right and embrace
what could be rather than what could have been.
Regrets only can eat us up. They can affect our life but
what we try to do at least about those situations, can shape our future and
turn on lights, open those curtains and let in the sun for all involved.
Stop worrying about what if and think about what will and
what when!
