Susan


It has been exactly a year since Susan in Glentham, Lincolnshire last blogged. At that time, her daughter Sarah was renovating a cottage with practical help from her father Paul. Sarah had recently returned to England after her marriage in Australia rather sadly imploded.

I followed "Susan Here There and Everywhere" for a few years, witnessing Paul and Sarah's life in France before Brexit and arguably the ageing process made them decide to return to England - first to Sue's native Wiltshire and then to rural Lincolnshire.

Sue's blog was usually well-maintained and her blogposts were regular but then gaps in time occurred and it seemed that her commitment to blogging was waning. Perhaps she was simply becoming bored with the whole thing and had nothing left that she wanted to say. Of course there could be other reasons.

Sue was a lovely, intelligent correspondent with a dry sense of humour and an alertness to the absurdities of life. Maybe she'll return to blogging one day and there'll be more to-and-fro  about life and experience ranging from domesticity and family to  reflections on  the wider world.

If you do come back Sue, please let me know and I will pop you back on my "Blogorama" bloglist from which I shall now regretfully remove you as you enter the land of memory where all lost bloggers reside, becoming vaguer as yet more months pass by. It was nice knowing you.

Lord

 Lord, 

You work in the most random of moments. Then I think they’re not random to you. Trying to figure you out is like solving the most complex puzzle. You’re a riddle I can’t figure. All I know is that I know what I thought was waiting, is learning. Learning that my will, will not get me to my goals faster. I’m so focused on achieving the dream, that I’m not enjoying the process. With you, EVERYTHING is a process. I want results quick. You work like weight loss. Slowly. You tell me to ‘be still and know.’  I don’t know which part grates me more:  stillness or knowing. I will get back to you. 

Until the next musing. 

Regine

Calm

 Half asleep

Eyes almost open

Expectant to see

If the clouds

That surround me

Will clear

I as chase

Fleeting moments

Of quiet calm

Leading to 

Lasting happiness
