The human contribution is the essential ingredient. It is only in the giving of oneself to others that we truly live.Cautious, careful people, always casting about to preserve their reputations... can never effect a reform.

June 19 Energy PricesThey can't say for sure, but it looks like we are in a recession. Inflation is causing the price of everything to go up. Fuel prices are going through the roof, causing the cost of food items to increase.
The pain will come early this year for people on modest incomes reliant on oil for basic heating and cooking. They will have to shiver through it. Some will die. When domestic heating prices soar in the US, people demand intervention from the Government. In the UK, we appear to think the government cannot do anything any more, and we don't even ask. I wonder whether the Prime Minister should find that even more alarming than he did the petrol protests. I suppose this winter we will have to wear our socks,mittens and scarves as well as a couple of cardigans as we will be surviving on a pension,even that might not be enough! June 10 Who is your AngelAngels Blessed are the Angels who walk with us,
though we are unaware, Those people who take time to listen ... to understand and care. Blessed are those with unseen halos, earned through deeds of love, For they will always be for us Sweet Blessings From Above ... Author Unknown
GabrielGabriel rules over the waters. The perils and benefits of the creature of the waters should be at focus on this day. Archangel Gabriel is the highest ranking Angel of the Christian, Hebrew and Moslem religions. Gabriel is the Angel of the Annunciation of the Madonna, Resurrection of Christ, Mercy, Vengeance, Death, and Revelation. This Chief of the Angelic Guards was placed as guardian of Paradise, and ruler of Monday, the day of the Moon. Gabriel is noted as the author of the Koran according to Mohammed, founder of the Moslem religion. Our intentions on Monday should involve Psychological Balance, Beauty, Psychic Abilities, Feminine Forces, Dreams, Astral Travel, Protection, and Intuition. In the Christian Church the chalice and fountain represent the tools of the Angel as used in Holy Communion and Baptism. White or Silver colors should be worn with pearls or white or silver jewelry. Over one-half of the U.S. population dies on Monday. Great protection against tempests of weather and travel are summoned through Gabriel. June 04 PC Problems/ReformattingI think that maybe all the problems I'm having all of a sudden could be caused by the Norton Internet Suite I purchased this year. My computer is running slowly, programs are constantly "not responding," I'm getting error reports about programs that I didn't even know were running, let alone that they existed, and to make it worse, I unfortunately use Norton 360 and it is a continual battle for PC speed. The worst part is when the LUcallback.exe (aka the Live Update call back process), and all its associated files, starts, it won't stop and can't be stopped via task manager even if you have the Live Update feature disabled. When live update runs it brings a computer to a halt. Never again will I buy Norton !!! Installing it is a problem as well because it leaves behind lots of files etc . I went to a help site and they instructed me to do various things which only made matters worse so that in the end i had to reformat. I wonder how everyone else manages when their computer has problems? I now have the free AVG antivirus installed as well as windows defender and firewall. I am going to set a system restore point and hope for the best.
May 22 Geert Wilders’ film about the QuranFitna is a film by Dutch politician Geert Wilders, leader of the Party for Freedom (PVV) in the Dutch parliament. The movie offers his views on Islam and the Qur'an. The film's title comes from the Arabic word fitna which is used to describe "disagreement and division among people", or a "test of faith in times of trial". The movie was released to the Internet on 27 March 2008
Fitna is an Arabic Word that means Igniting hate and creating Chaos. That is Exactly what Geert Wilders is doing.
Fact: In the past twenty five years Geert Wilders has visited Israel about forty times, Wilders of taking guidance from the Israeli Embassy in the Netherlands (which is only a few meters away from the Dutch Parliament) in order to question Dutch ministers. Furthermore, Wilders has made some proposals in the Dutch Parliament inspired by Israel. For example, in 2005 Wilders proposed implementing Israel's administrative detention in the Netherlands, a practice heavily criticized by human rights group Amnesty International. Also, at the time Wilders was member of the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy, he had an employee who directly came from the Israeli Embassy. The versus in Quran only applies to the time that there were war and not apply to the present time. Islam means peace but I agree some extremist took advantage of a small part of a small Sura that was writing for that specific time period. Remember there was war at that time. There are more than 1.2 billion musim people and most of them are peace loving people. I am against extremism in any version. Be it Israel who ignite all of these or the few muslims who promote violence. We can not judge the entire 1.2 billion people based on a film that its main intention is creating more hate. Instead of seeking the differences we have to seek our solidarity in good things. In the same Quran there are many part of like this: Do not kill even one person because killing of one person is like killing of the world. the other part that says Only god gives lives and only he is allowed to take. When Prophet Mohammad took over the city of Mecca he instructed his followers do not kill or even enter the house of the enemy. The opposition was living with peace and had their welath and evertything and later they took over the Islamic empire. So Religion is not bad by itself. Its a private thing betwwen you and your god to seek peace. what is wrong is mixing religion with politics and some groups like some Isrealis who want to ingnite hate and provoke the enitre world public opinion against Muslims.

May 15 Istanbul Trip!My holiday in Turkey was ok but I had a fall in Istanbul and fractured my shoulder. We were in Taxim on May 1st to visit Dormabace Palace and I tripped over a step and put my full weight on my shoulder as I fell, hoping to avoid damage to my wrists. It was a crazy situation and we did not know that Taxim was a no go area. I suppose , fortunately we arrived before the the worst of the action. I managed to get a couple of pictures before I was stopped for my own safety, so they said. You cant really tell from my pictures how bad it was.
I thought that perhaps I had a bad sprain so I waited a couple of day for when I would return to Alanya. My shoulder did not improve at all so I went to Baskant University hospital where the did an MRI and X-rays which cost £493. They said I had suffered trauma and rupturing of the shoulder and I would need Pysio in a couple of weeks time. I should know better that to trust the Turkish medical profession as I have suffered before at their hands and have not fully recovered from it. Back in the UK the hospital did their own tests and the results show the fracture. I always seem to get into bothers when i go away i am beginning to feel like i should stop my adventures and stay at home!! I have enclosed a few more pics here but i will upload more tomorrow in my albums.
April 19 Off on my travels again
I hope to visit Istanbul for at least 4 days and take many pictures. Hubby and daughter have been there before and enjoyed it very much. So much culture,things to see and do I hope my arthritis does not play me up too much I will be glad to get to warmer climbs as winter has been long and I have been overeating again, at least the fruit and veg are tastier and cheaper in Turkey, more walking and exercise will help me lose a few pounds I hope. Chris.....if you read this i want to say..I WISH YOU WERE COMING WITH US! April 18 Fatalisim ,Free will and Positive thinkingThis post is in response to Heave Chevy (asking my opinion on fate and of thought creating reality etc I believe in all the above! ! It would take me forever to explain myself and even if i was able to do that properly i might well right a book. I have taken parts from various thoughts that reflect my own beliefs. Fatalisim,free will and positive thinking Suppose while traveling on a road you arrive at a point where the road divides into two and you must decide which road you will take. Once you make your decision, you have set a direction that can be almost totally predicted. In this way your fate is decided; but remember, it was your free decision that cast it in the first place. Now suppose that you could fly up in the air and get a bird's eye view of the road you selected to travel. From this vantage point you would see your future. The catch is that you couldn't be absolutely sure you'd stay on this road once you started. You might decide to go back to the beginning and take the other road, or you might choose to take a side road off of this road. You might even decide to sit down for a long time in one place along the road. In this way, your fate is before you, but you still have the free will to change your direction. It may take you some time before you can make a significant change, and perhaps it will require some considerable effort. For example, let's suppose you did decide to travel a different road. Where you are on the present road will in some way determine what options are available to you. There may be only one side-road within miles. You might be close enough to the beginning of the road to turn around, or too far down the road for that, in which case you'd have to push on until you could choose another route. Many of the decisions in our lives are like this. They are affected by our original choices, which may be long forgotten by now. The present road we're taking also affects our options. Nevertheless, no matter where we are in our lives, no matter what circumstances in which we find ourselves, once we finally wake up and take notice of what we're doing, our free will is at our disposal to effect the necessary changes. The only limitations are how long it will take us to get to the place where we can make a significant new choice I believe that certain things are mapped out for us at our birth. The constraints over which we have very little or no choice and within which we must live. E.g when we are born, what country we are born in, who we love, when we die, how we die!! No amount of positive thinking or free will, can change these things. You might say we do have a choice on who we love but think carefully about that one In some instances our thoughts can create reality but then again no matter how hard you try you cant conjure up a roast dinner, dream lover or a million £’s can you. April 15 Journeys
I was inspired by visiting Sylvies blog with her wonderfull verse. I decided to post one of my own which actually represents me and my lifestyle. It was written a few years back . Journey
I see the sea, I see the land To count them I’d need an extra hand I have witnessed much I wonder if the time has come Time to return home, where my home is I have travelled far and I travel still I tell myself You just don’t know what will be found Some say You don't have to be blind to lose the way For me It is my heart that leads me astray
