I was chatting with a friend today about the concept of inspiring oneself to achieve in a world that promotes the concept of mediocrity as acceptable and seems not to put as much emphasis on seeking to

It's been a little while since I've shared what I'm reading; I've been so busy with life I'll admit I've not had as much time to read as I would like but I've managed a chapter here and there and with

I'm a bit disappointed this weekend because I had a chance to fly over to spend it with my lovely man but something cam up at the last minute meaning I was not able to. We'd not have been able to spend

It's been a weekend like most weekends, lovely moments relaxing and spending time with my guy; combining those two things is exactly how I'd love to spend all day every single day but work and life gets

I've been keeping a secret from my guy which is something I do not usually do but this one is special and I'm hoping to surprise him, in a good way, with what I've been doing and the secret I've kept.

This weekend I'll spend alone. I've got a few things planned but nothing really all that exciting. My guy has been away and won't return until later on Sunday, so I suppose I'll only be partially alone

I love making plans ahead of the weekend sometimes, it gives me something to look forward to and be happy about, and this week we decided to go hiking in the forest; we committed to going no matter the

I wasn't even looking and had no intention of finding myself tangled up in a relationship; it wasn't as if I needed a man in my life to make it feel complete or valid. I was happy by myself, content with

A short while ago I spent a few hours with a friend with who, despite our cultural differences and a ten year age gap, I get along very well with. She's only been in the country for just on ten years and

I managed to find some space, a little me time, in the last few days and that'll extend into this weekend and I'm thankful. I think that's one of the best things about my life and love, the man I love;

I'm a busy person and living in this busy modern world doesn't help despite all the time-saving aids we surround ourselves with. There's never enough time in the day or week, that's how it feels, and when

A challenge was issued last week and I accepted feeling like I was able to rise to it and emerge victorious; if I did I would be humble in victory, but only after I rubbed it in a little. No, not really,

We were talking about the weekend a few days ago and completely disagreed with what we wanted to do with it; that's ok though, we don't always agree and having different likes and dislikes in a relationships

This is not the sort of book I would normally read for so many reasons. It's not that through declining to read books like this I can happily block out the events, I live with a man who's war history knowledge

I love my home for a lot of reasons. It's comfortable, well-appointed, has the features I need, is aesthetically pleasing in design and decor, provides security and comfort and it just feels so lovely

Last week my guy decided he needed a new pair of boots for work; he likes having work clothes that are separate from civilian clothes. He also needed work-appropriate boots, "less cowboy, but still

It takes on many guises and is focused at so many different things depending on who feels it and when; it's all-consuming at times, selfish and jealous, egotistical and many other less than positive things

Sometimes it creeps up over time and other times it descends upon me like the sky crashing down upon my head; on this occasion it was the latter and, because it's pretty difficult to ignore such compelling

I've not been a massive reader of books over the years although have found a few series and stand-alone books I liked enough to get through. Becoming what I'd call an, avid reader, has been a something
