  • Don’t try to be happy

    I was recently asked by someone whether it was possible to be really happy. This question sparked a conversation about the difference between happiness and contentment.

  • Declined

    I was at my local supermarket recently, the one where every time I’m there I end up chatting to people I know, sometimes in the isles and sometimes in the checkout lines. It’s always a pleasant experience.

  • I want it all. Now.

    Some songs just stick with you through life. When I was 19, British rock band, Queen, released a song call I Want It All. It reached number three on the singles charts of the United Kingdom, Finland, Ireland and New Zealand.

  • It will be what it will be

    As I write this article here in New Zealand on 26th August 2021, we’re in Day 9 of what we know as Level 4 lockdown as the Delta variant of COVID19 raised its head for the first time in our country.
