I know I am getting older when...
My little sister has her 21st Birthday!
I am excited about getting a teapot and matching teacups.
I can no longer stay awake all night and still feel good the next day.
Going to bed with a book at 9pm seems a luxury!
A nice leisurely walk after lunch is appealing.
Saying 'cool' is not cool anymore - but I still say it all the time.
Having people to stay is wonderful (and I love to plan all the homecooked meals I am going to make them).
I bid for a butter dish on ebay and it is a higlight that I win it with just one second remaining.

It's a small world...
Well, I discovered once again what a small world we live in...
The RE teacher at the school I am working in - went to the same University as me - and not only the same Uni as me - but in fact the same class as Phil, yep, it turns out that they went to pretty much all the same lectures and hung out together regularly - What are the chances?!!!
It is really quite nice to know that - you may always bump into someone you knew, someone you know and maybe a few people you might get to know in the future.

I think I will buy everyone pants!
I am having a pre-christmas stress - have bought NO presents and am beginning to panic - having a zillion family members to buy for before we even get to the friends -
So - I have decided - everyone is getting pants. They are useful and everyone needs them.
So there it is decided. Pants for all.

I kinda pinched this from Emma's blog!
Ten things I would like to say but have never had the chance/guts...
1) I'm sorry. I'm so sorry I thought that I was right, but I was really quite wrong and nieve and a little bit arrogant. Sorry.
2) Why did you start acting crazy? Everything was going so well before then.
3) I love you. Can't explain why - always have - always will.
4) It's OK with me, if you are who you are.
5) I always feel like you never really listen to me and our friendship is all about you and then you do something out of the blue and I wonder if I'm completely wrong.
6) You taught me so much and now I'm doing it!
7) You said it was too quick. It's OK to say that you were wrong now!
8) I wish we could be closer, but every time I try to share with you it freaks you out.
9) You truly are a faithful friend and in my life that is a rare thing.
10) I wish I knew everything then that I knew now - I wouldn't have done it. Sorry.

I remember being 9
I remember being 9. I remember because I know that I thought people weren't taking me seriously enough, that I had a lot to offer and it felt like I was 'glazed over' 'a child'.
I remember that I had my first kiss - with tongues! (although to be fair - it was during a game of dares and I slapped the boy across the face afterwards for doing it!)
I remember that I understood more than people thought I did and that adults often told each other jokes in code (that were oh so obvious that I totally understood - but didn't let on because then they would stop) Who's the cleverest then?
It's good to reflect on what I remember about being 9 and how I felt - because now I am working with children that age! It is so vital to take them seriously - if you let them - they do have a lot to offer - intelligent ideas, sensitive thoughts.... they can also be very silly - I remember that too! But let's try and always remember how we felt and how we feel!

Fireworks!
Well I have to say that fireworks are not usually my thing - Don't get me wrong I love the sparkling, the colours etc. But I truly hate standing in the cold.
Tonight, however, we have our nephews and nieces staying - they are 2, 4, 7 and 9 years old. We turned all the lights off in the house and watched the fireworks from the windows - They shouted and laughed and screamed and totally loved the experience (being in the warm made it nicer) but it was really really wonderful.

No re-runs
Autumn
Leaves falling,
Simple beauty.
Take a moment,
to really see it...
to see what He has done...
or autumn will pass you by.
There will never be another one like it.
There are no re-runs.
