Six months ago, I wrote a blog about what I hoped would be my goals for the next six months and whether I had achieved or stuck to them. I wanted to simply look back and recap on what they were and the results.
I grew some lettuce and planted some onions and carrots. The lettuce was [...]

Today, I go to a library return some books and find the last pieces of information to tweak an assignment. Three and a half years of study is drawing to a close-well, in this chapter anyway. But of course my commitment to life long learning goes on but also to learn not just out of [...]

A mini-post for today.
Life generally feels so much better these days and I thought a few observations about this feeling would be worth posting this morning. Stress is something that has plagued me a lot in my life, that learning to handle it better did seem essential only a few weeks back. There is one thing [...]

Just wanted to say a few words. I am now back to blogging after a period of absence caused by severe stressful events. However, I have learnt a lot from these, about myself and about what I need to do to become a more effective person, rather than [...]

The word learning will have many different meanings to people and how their own views, believes, perceptions and thoughts, when pondering upon its definition, will differ and perhaps extend to another word linked to learning, that being education. Education and learning for me, and to many other thinkers, philosophers, teachers and writers will be words viewed as a process entwined both together as well as separately.

A rather frightening and sobering thought occurred to me late yesterday evening. It was the 29th August, a date that will always stick in my memory, etched into my being for as long as I dwell upon this earth.
On August 29th 1984, I met and walked into a relationship that was to have the most [...]

Sitting on the fence.
