Here's Looking At Ewe...

HAPPY (N)EWE YEAR...


May the Good Shepherd lead you to safe well watered spaces...
May you know his love and patience in all the complicated places.



Make A Wish....

Or sow a seed.


Sometimes it's hard to say if it's a wish or a prayer,
 however maybe when we let our deepest thoughts and desires out
 and set them free...
we are planting seeds that someday,
somewhere  will bear the fruit of dreams.

Time Out...

As she laid back and gazed out the window at the vast black country sky....
Rozie let all that space and quiet seep slowly in.
Let things find their place of peace and order.
It felt like things were OK.
Not that she could understand it all.
but it felt OK.

There are times dear reader,
 where time out,and a change of scene
 help us get a bit of perspective.

Where Does It Get You?...

He'd been big, bossy and powerful.
He'd been looked up to and respected, he'd been important, mostly self important.
In the end though, he'd ended up pretty sad and lonely.

Super Ewe...

Or, you're super!


There's something special about every body,
so  have a think about whats pretty good about you
 and look for ways to share that with the people around you.

Good Boundaries...

Sometimes it's tempting to see the grass in the next paddock as greener.
But in the long run we know it's not true.
Weather you call them fences, or boundaries they can help you feel safer,
and ultimately more thankful for what you do have.

Another 'T' Shirt From Rozie....

Rozie wondered if it was just the pressures of Christmas
that seemed to bring out the worst in some people.
She thought about handing out a few 'T'shirts,
as a kind of early warning device.

Questioning Being Part Of The Flock....

Putting the Ewe back in HTU*




Sometimes dear reader, there is too much control,
 and not enough grace and freedom.
After all we like the stories about the sheep following their master
 because they choose to,not because they are forced to.



(*Holy Trinity Wherever U Are)







Let Ewe Shine Through...

There are some circumstances when the best thing to do
 is let yourself go, and really get lost in the moment.

You'll feel better, and everyone else will enjoy it immensely.
It's to do with remembering and creating memories...



(small tribute to aunty Kathy, cutting lose and dancing wildly, 
but most impressively to the Beastie Boys).

What's The Question?....

It's always OK to question,
 and one of the most important things to question is authority,
 because things can get pretty messed up if there are problems with who's in charge.

All A Matter Of Balance...

Sometimes life is a little like walking a tightrope,
it's all OK as long as you can keep your balance.

The Only Way Is Up...Or Is It?.....

The proof dear reader, is in the pudding...
sometimes it's not what's said as much as what's done, that's important.

One Baa At A Time....

We're all on a journey, and have things to do and get on with,
 it's often the first step that's the hardest.
However if you've got a direction,
 the only way to get to the destination is
 "One Baa At A Time"

"Sexy"...

There are some issues that attract lots of attention,
and not all of it's good.
And there are some issues that don't attract nearly enough attention.

This also applies to people,
 and who is thought to be more important
and why this is so...

It's hard to make some topics 'sexy'

Being Looked After....

It's tempting to think that we're in control, 
and it's all up to us to get out there and sell ourselves, 
get busy with all the strategies that bring 'sucess'.


This is just meant as a reminder,
 that Gods' plans are bigger and better If we let him be in charge.
This doesn't always mean instant or easier, 
 we need faith to believe that he has our best interest at heart.







A little reflection on reading Anitas' blog
'Dreaming Beneath The Spires"
Have a look!.

Is It Really About Numbers?...

When things get a bit tough we all want to be able to count on someone,
well may be more than one, in a way the more the merrier.
So maybe it is about the numbers.

I suspect dear reader it's a lot about other things too.

Loving You...

There are times when everything gets too much,
 and it's all a bit too difficult.

And sometimes we need a reminder that 'you need to love you'.
You are unique and important and need to be loved.

Yes it's always lovely when all that love comes from someone else.

However dear reader...
it's important to remember that we need to nurture and take care of ourselves.
Not in spite of everyone else, but because of every one else.

The people in your life need you to be the best you,
 and being the best you starts with you.

So have a think about doing something special...for you!

Cutting Through The Nonsense....

There are times when we all have to think about what's really going on.

There are times when it's difficult to understand or respond to,
 someone else's bad behaviour.

You may feel caught up, and conflicted about how to respond.
You may wonder weather  you'll respond at all.

It's times like these, where a 'pithy'
T Shirt message may come in handy.

It's probably going to be totally ignored by the person you wish would pay attention,
however you dear reader will feel so much better.

Like you've become braver in expressing your opinion.
That in fact your opinion is no longer dressed up in what's expected or what's proper etc..
that indeed your opinion is actually naked.



Just a final thought...if you can't get a T Shirt, just get a badge.





Who Wants control...

Whether it's Uncle Sam   (from the right)
or Uncle Ho  ( Ho Chi Min, from the left)


What they all really want is control
It's not Left or right,
it's right or wrong.

Rozie still searching....



Sometimes when you want something,
or to make a connection with someone,
 you have to go outside your comfort zone....
And one way or another, that can get pretty uncomfortable.
Actions can be interpreted in so many ways,
and there's always that possibility of rejection.

Ewe Tube....

Watching what everyone else is watching.


There are lots of things to watch, good and bad.
 But It's good to have a think about
how much is just going along with the rest of the sheep.

Being Connected....

More Baa Work....

                   


                 Ewe Choose...



Sometimes we have the wool pulled over our eyes.

At times we do it ourselves, at times we let others do it for to us...

We  can all choose to hang up the blindfolds.

It's always hard work, and we might need encouragement and support.

We mightn't like what we see in others and ourselves.

However in the end it's better to be able to see reality.

We're All On A Learning Curve...



She did things differently, and at her own pace.
Sometimes her behaviour was thought to be "bad",
However in the scheme of things
It turned out that she was more of an individual,
and not just following along, like a 'sheep'.

And in the end dear reader,
having the freedom to be yourself and like it,
 is very important.
