Judging Others

Let’s talk about being judgemental, we all judge others, yes even me. Just think about it, how often have you said or thought the following, “how could she/he do that” or “what is wrong with them” or maybe “why would you say that”, all these are judging statements. So many of us are quick to judge others but really how often are our judgements small minded or just wrong and we are judging things that are none of our business.

I am very close to my parents and siblings and cannot imagine no speaking to them for weeks, months or years but I have pen friends who have not spoken to family members for extended periods of time. One lady I write to said she didn’t even know why her child wasn’t speaking to her, when she asked she was told if you don’t know I’m not telling you. What the hell how can one fix or do anything about something they are unaware of. She even asked her child’s partner what she did wrong but still got no answer.

I have another pen friend who told her children that she was working with a right bastard and she was glad to get home and have a couple of glasses of wine, this for some reason pissed her children off and they didn’t speak to her for a couple of weeks. I might add this woman is in her 50’s.

I am so glad my children are not that judgemental.

End of year post

Here we are at the end of the year, what a year it has been with more downs then ups in it.

My parents health took a decline with us fearing we would lose mum in July but thankfully she improved heaps and is back to being mum again. Around the same time dad’s health went down hill and we were told in August that it was unlikely that dad would live out the year, however, here we at the last day of the year and dad is still with us.

My health has gone down hill as well although all in all I feel like I am ok, I have had bouts of serious depression but that has settled down and is under control. In November my GP and neurologist decided that I was unfit to drive and this resulted in my licence being cancelled. This means I have to rely on other people to drive me around, mostly Natasha she drives me around and helps me get dressed when needed. I do not know what I would do without her.

So as the year comes to a close, it does so with me in a good place mentally my tremor is worse and I do have a problem with stumbling and nearly falling over and have fallen over a few times during the year. I take small steady steps and walk pretty slow now.

Night before Christmas

Twas the night before Christmas, when all thro’ the house,

Not a creature was stirring, not even a, what the hell is that noise, it’s papa snoring,

The pillow cases were placed on the lounge,

In hopes that Santa would soon be there;

The children were nestled all snug in their beds,


While visions of
sugar plums some kind of weird new toy danc’d in their heads,

We had just settled down for a good nights sleep, after filling the pillow cases with toys and clothes

When I hear such a raucous

So out of bed I leaped and outside I rush, and what do I see

A man dressed in red on top of my roof, stealing my reindeer and sleigh display, the thieving mongrel

So the cops I call to have the thieving mongrel arrested because no goodwill towards to thieves from me.
