Wouldn't you agree?.....

If it hadn't been for this....

....there would have been no that. Person X is to blame for Situation Y. Problem Q is a direct consequence of Decision Z etc etc etc. We make these cause-and-effect connections without so much as a second thought. Very rarely, though, can we support them with anything more than weak and circumstantial evidence - and biased supposition. 

You may think you know why things are as they are, but you cannot be sure. But you can be quite sure that they don't have to stay as they are.

Wrong does not cease to be wrong because the majority share in it. (Leo Tolstoy)

Didn't I say that normal service....

.....would be resumed as soon as I was able?  Well, maybe not 'normal' yet; more 'as and when able'.  But here's a starting point - 

If you feel there is something that you can't do, perhaps you should consider why. What makes it so impossible? How much of your resistance is based on actual experience? How much is extrapolation, projection, imagination and unjustified apprehension? You may well have more going for you than you realise. What seems impossible may not be so far-fetched. 

The more you persuade yourself that an idea should be ruled out, the more you may complicate a matter which could be very simply resolved.

A dead thing can go with the stream, but only a living thing can go against it. 

GK Chesterton

Allow me to share.....

.....some more with you.  Enjoy -

It is better to be prepared for an opportunity and not have one 

than to have an opportunity and not be prepared.

We can't choose our families, which makes our friends even more special, as they chose us.

No matter how hard life gets, remember to go to bed grateful that you have one.

Today will never come again. Be a blessing. Be a friend. Encourage someone.  

Take time to care. Let your words heal, not wound.

Every day there will be that one chance, that one moment, to make someone happy.  

Take it.

Yep, can't argue with this.....

Well, good people....

....I'm still homeless, and Internet access is more than a little spasmodic (being polite).  It could be many weeks before anything alters significantly, but I truly will be back.

Doors are starting to open, and that's where my focus has to be.  After all, why would I want to expend effort through looking behind me - I'm not going that way.

I'm told you can't keep a good man down.  If I ever come across one, I'll let you know if that's true.

Keep smiling.

Normal service will be.....

.....resumed as soon as possible.

I was made homeless a couple of weeks back and don't always have internet access, and won't have for a while. But I will return.

Keep smiling. Stay strong. Remember that you are a victor, not a victim.
