It's been too long since I wrote, my own fault can't blame anyone else but me ! I'm using a bigger font cos my eyesight is not so good these days. I have good control over my skin most of the time, have moments when it rears it's ugly head. Anyway I have been painting the inside of my house. I had quite a dilemma choosing colours for my kitchen cupboards. I started with 3 test pots of quite dark colours, then one morning I realised I was choosing colours my mother would of liked. I was aghast ! So back to the paint shop I went and said to the lady "My mother is dead and gone and I am still trying to piss her off, give me bright colours please," Hence my kitchen cupboards are now bright orange/red and I love it ! Makes me smile every day.
But it also made me realise that 'Learned Behaviour' still lurks within me. I recall my mother always telling me I had no sense of colour coordination well guess what mother YES I DO !
I love her to pieces but hey Gaelene is on her journey to know who she is !
She said "No man would ever love me the way I look" well guess what she was WRONG again. Oh dear, poor mother. I did inherit some good qualities from her though I must say. I think we inherit good qualities from all sorts of people like seeds being planted.
I had the occasion to call my Aunty Una (my Dad's only living sister), she is 87. We talked about living a relaxed life, I asked "how does one live a relaxed life cos I suck at it", she replied "Gardening, it teaches you the cycle of life."
Wow zap bang seed planted, don't you just love it when our elders come up with such wisdom. Seeds of wisdom let's plant them, sprinkle them far and wide and watch them grow !
I say Love it is a Flower and You it's only Seed.
