Ironic..don't you think?

It is amazing how sometimes we just can't seem to move forward, like those weird dreams where we are running without getting anywhere.

Whenever I seem to plan stuff, something else always happens. (As John Lennon once said 'life is what happens when we are busy planning other things')

Last Friday I had arranged to go to an Acoustic Evening, a few people gathering together and having an acoustic jam session, I know it doesn't sound that funky. I have never been before I thought that I could give it a try. (I really like singing and I am looking for a guitarist and thought that it might have been a good opportunity)

On the Thursday my husband decided that he was going away for the weekend with a friend. (again) SO I had to cancel Friday. Couldn't leave the kids alone, and they would have got bored if I had taken them. So that plan went out the window.

We had a pretty quiet weekend, got some films from the DVD shop and I honestly can't remember much else.

On Monday I was supposed to take the car for a checkover, it smells of petrol a little and has a few other things I just wanted to check out. That plan didn't go ahead either.

My son had a fall in school on the friday and didn't complain about it till monday morning, I decided that it might be best to take him to the hospital. SO off we went. After seven hours of waiting, tests and more waiting and more tests, and hearing everybody complain about waiting and having tests, they decided to keep him in for observation. Which was pretty good really.
He stayed in the hospital and only came home today. I was getting exhausted by the journey to and from the hospital twice a day, so good to be at home with him.

Wow. My life is pretty much like this. After one thing there is always something else. It is like climbing up a ladder that keeps sinking into the ground. I never seem to get anywhere.

I was supposed to be painting pictures for an exhibition since the end of January, but just haven't had a chance. I had pneumonia, the kids were sick, the car was giving me grief, my son went into hospital...nuim

Sometimes when thing go well, I actually start to worry! And think omg what is going to happen now? Things are running too smoothly, something is bound to go wrong. (Ironic, I think I am Alanis Morrissete)

Next week, then, I hope to go to the mechanic and I also have a cow to paint. In the museum. Don't ask! I'll post a pic when it is ready

The Tulku Lama Lobsang and I (etcetera, etcetera, etcetera)

One Monday evening in 2008, I had the privilege of meeting The Tulku Lama Lobsang at a Lecture he held in the Quinta do Pombal , Algarve, Portugal.  I was expecting him to be clad in orange and to my surprise he wore black.  Everybody stood as he entered, everybody that is except for me. I just didn't seem to have time, I had been in the middle of something, it was a bit weird actually, I wasn't really sure if I should have or not.  The King and I came to mind.   He sat and started to talk about Tibetan Medicine, which is his speciality, along with Lu Jong. A Tibetan Yoga/Tai Chi kind of activity which is practiced at the centre.  He said that all of us have un-manifested illness within us and at some point of our lives it manifests itself, other times it lays dormant just to manifest in another life. "Men (and women) must get ill", he stated. Sickness is part of life. If we are not sick now, then don't worry, one day we will be. (So if we are well, we are ...

Existence only a state of consiousness?

This morning I was looking out of my kitchen window and a thought came to me, as I looked at the trees and the flowers. Sometimes it can be hard for me to imagine that once I never existed. It sounds like a kind of selfish idea but it is rather profound. For example, when we tell younger siblings stories of events that took place before their birth, they find it hard to grasp; the fact that once upon a time they didn't existe! Existence is to a point a state of consciousness, although it also goes beyond. Before we were born the world was already in existence. We can see and feel things in our lifetime. We exist. This is why many people are saddened at the prospect of death, because life continues even after we stop existing. This can be very painful. Man in this life tends to become trapped with in his own consciousness, he cannot seem to see beyond his own lifespan. Very often not paying much attention to present actions; such as pollution for example. Many of today's politic...

Feira Sobre Rodas

Hoje sempre fui a feira e conseguir ganhar 32 €, é o melhor que consegui até agora. Será que a minha sorte está a mudar. Para a proxima vez vou levar a guitarra, pode ser que seja discoberta e me torne uma grande estrela... A feira é realizada perto do Estádio novo, Parque das Cidades, Faro/Loulé ( foi construido para o Euro 2000 e não sei quantos, o tempo passa depressa!) no primeiro e terceiro Domingo do mês, todos os meses. Está a ficar gira.
