You are not your emotions...
You are not your emotions Life lessons can arise in the most unexpected situations... Any number of self help articles will tell you “you aren’t your emotions”. I only began reading these articles late in life, before that it hadn’t occurred to me that that was true... that was definitely me, very sensitive hugely reactive… a worrier.

Don’t get comfortable, nothing is going to stay the same....
It’s very strange to to experience, almost in tandem... the evaporation of, well I was going to say two things I love at the same time. However I realise that in one case I am long overdue an overhaul and if I’m really honest … I’m not sure I loved it any more.

Burning Bridges feels delicious for about 10 minutes...
Falling out with people is a far more complex prospect than it was in the good old days.... it was so much simpler when you could just keep out of their way.....any raging was likely to be in person, or at worst over a home telephone, remember them?

I’ve chosen so well
Oh my I’ve chosen so well..... I mean my husband is in the top 1% of humans .... if I’m to believe the horror stories about relationships that I read and hear about from friends. It still sounds a little ridiculous I know....I wonder if the younger generation would call me out for “settling”. I have a lot of young friends, not to mention 20 something children and all I see is that they are afraid.. Afraid of each other, what’s next in their lives, afraid of being buried under a mountain of menial jobs and study, afraid of mounting debt and most puzzling to me..... emotional connection
