At the beginning of 2021 I wrote a piece on my thoughts of the previous year and the year which was to come, and it was late. The same is happening for this year round, but for different reasons. This year I was quite ill. I had a Sickle crisis and it was horrendous. ItContinue reading “Thinking Out LOUD – Forever Grateful”

Thinking out LOUD – Grief
A fortnight ago, I lost my grandad. He was almost 97 years old. It would have been his birthday on Thursday 16th December.

Thinking Out LOUD – No Hiding Place
I awoke early this morning and felt in a state of anxiety and fearful of the future. I have been feeling like that for the past few days and felt as though I need to shut myself off from the world.

There’s never been a feeling of belonging, even though I was born and bred in this country. The other day, IContinue reading “Thinking Out LOUD, Unapologetically (Wk13/2021)”
Thinking Out LOUD – Remaining Rooted (1) (Wk11/2021)
When I first began my blog (way back in 2019!), in one of my first pieces, I mentioned a few quotes, which are applicable for now: Growth is the only evidence of life by John Henry Oswald and Growth itself contains the germ happiness by Lord Alfred Tennyson. The main quote was Great oaks fromContinue reading “Thinking Out LOUD – Remaining Rooted (1) (Wk11/2021)”
