Observations On Finding The Beauty In Our Lives
Introduction Sometimes we experience difficult times in our lives, but this is not going to address anything bad or dark, it is going to focus on the many, usually free things that can make our lives better, raise our spirits and lighten our hearts.

Observations On An Ancient Childhood
Introduction I do find it amusing and odd when certain things inspire me to write but I suppose that is just the way my mind works. This morning I went out to pick up my weekly deliverance of two pints of milk from McQueen's Dairies and that started me off for this story.

Walking On Gilded Splinters
Introduction This is for the PVim Challenge below, and will be a microfiction based on the song I refer to below. It made me think of one of my favourite songs from one of my favourite albums, "Walk On Gilded Splinters" from "Gris, Gris" by Dr John, Mac Rebbenak.

Friendship Fossilised
Introduction This has been inspired by the fact that I often include old stories of mine, to expand or enhance new stories, and also to make sure that I am not repeating myself too much. It is OK for some repetition to give emphasis to some points, but I don't want a virtual repeat of any old stories.

Eyes Adrift
Introduction This was a five-year-old Seven Days In post about issues with my contact lenses that thankfully got sorted out. For some reason, it has had a lot of recent visits, and I know some people have issues with contact lenses. My daughters have never bothered with them, and that is understandable, putting lumps of plastic in your eyes must be very scary the first time you do it.
