Most of us enjoy a celebration. We celebrate Christmas, (which prompted this blog), Easter, Birthdays, religious festivals, or cultural events, as well as successes.

When I go to the National Gallery in London I always have to take time to look at my favourite painting, The Execution of Lady Jane Grey, painted by Paul Delaroche. I always stand back and look at it from a distance to get a better view.

I guess that we all know really that nagging doesn’t work.

Today I had an encounter in Tesco, and I read one of the little snippets of news in the i newspaper, and I began to think about the food we waste.

In theory, we in the west have it all but in practice, depression in the Western World is growing and we need to ask the question ‘Why?’

There are some people in life who just choose to hate us. We often have no real idea why or how we can change that.

We live in a materialistic age, where we take for granted all the things that occupy our time and clutter our houses.
