Anika’s Thoughts of the week 12
Today, as you may or may not know, is Mother’s Day in the UK (I know it’s not the same in the US but am not sure if we are unique in celebrating it in this particular day).
The news in a nutshell
How are you all doing? I know you have been wondering where I am and what is going on. It has been a long time since I have written I know and I have been wanting to.
Animal Antics at home!
I don’t know if you have realised (probably because I haven’t made it clear before I don’t think) we have three animals - my little dog Maisie and the two ginger cats, Melody and Tara.
Sleep Apnea
Have you got this condition, or know someone who has? I am pretty certain I have had it for years but only knew of it recently.
About Johnathan
I don’t know if you’ve read the things I have written to you about his yet or not but I wanted to show you something that I feel is excellent work from him.
News in a Nutshell
Well yes, here I am still in hospital as you have no doubt guessed judging by the lack of posts last week. I will admit last week wasn’t great for me.
She would soar
She would soar the skies about her, She would scrape the earth beneath, She would plant the seeds and harvest, And move mountains into seas.
Laughter is Medicine
Well yes, I know it isn’t prescribed by doctors. I have often discovered I need to cry or laugh and so If I can I find something funny or try to remember something funny.
Words. Words. Just words.
JUST words? No. Never. They matter. The importance of them bringing power.
Did you wonder?
I am sure you must have been wondering where I am and why I haven’t written for so long. Well I had a fall that has landed me in hospital and I’m still here.
Anika’s thoughts on Bake squad and cards against humanity
I have been watching Bake Squad and playing Cards Against Humanity Family Edition that Kevin bought a few weeks ago as something we could all play together.
Encouragement and Praise
So I was thinking about encouragement and praise you get as a child and as well of us are doing Even if we don’t feel like it, because it makes a massive on whatever person is feeling.
Relationships
Can I be honest here? I have had relationships with friends where I have or haven’t done something, the move to Scotland and other factors.
Art and Things
Have you ever been asked if you liked a piece of art? To get to the truth, how do you do it? Because you can APPRECIATE the work someone has put into it and the shapes and not actually LIKE the style.
On That Day
I have had a sneaky suspicion that Johnathan had completed another growth spurt so got him to give me a hug and we measured and now he is as tall as me.
The rolling hills
You might just be wondering about why I have called this The Rolling Hills. Well, the reason is because I wanted not ONLY to see a poem I’ve written but to help you see the beauty of the rolling hills and it’s the title of the poem.
