Spring has sprung REDUCE, RE USE, RECYCLE (RRR)

So Monday new month October is here. Spring is still not really in the air and I am still snuggling up in my winter PJ's and slipping my sheep skin slippers on to walk around on the really ice cold tile floors. So NO, spring has not sprung in good ole SA, yet.
Hubby and I are doing our annual spring clean. He is driving me nuts, walking around going "throw it away, throw it away!" To which I am responding "Yes, with you!"
How long have you had it?  I must say him and I are in our 8th year of wedded bliss (If there is such a thing?) But of course there is! Marriage is not a commodity.  Neither is it a static object. This partnership is something that has to be worked on. And just like a home and garden needs constant caring and maintaining and this relationship even more so.
So, as I am looking at this heap of paperwork, which needs to be destroyed, I am adding my frustration and upsets to the pile. I am letting go of any and all unhappiness and laying the new bed for blossoms of love to continue to bloom.
Spring has sprung.

I got hacked!

 So, Tuesday 26 September 2023, saw me waging a two hour war with a hacker, trying to gain access to my Facebook account, and his eventual winning. So very frustrating. My fault, I stupidly shared a FB code, to another friend, who had been hacked, hereby giving the gremlin access to mine. Why, I cry in tears, so frustrated and sad to be losing about 15 years of history, as shared on the social media platform. With my holey memory, there were wonderful days when reminders of days past popped up. I am looking at this loss and thinking, what can I learn. There is a reason it is gone. What is it and how can I turn this into a positive? All I know right now is, I am missing it. Why? Not working, it was a touchpoint into the world outside my four walls here. Please note I did not say "the real world", because generally one cannot view what goes on there as real. But it is a welcome break from ones surrounding reality, when that reality is where you spend 24/24 hours, usually. The w...

Mashed!

Hands up....all those that think about doing something and then never, ever get around to doing it? Yes, my arm is up to... the one not typing. Since blogging started, I have wanted to start one, but life always got in the way! There were and are better things to do with my time. There really still are, BUT I want to write. No, I also need to write. I need to keep my mind busy and what better way than a public diary? I love the written word. At one stage in my life, I was consuming an average of a 350 page novel per week. After work! I think my problem with a blog post is WHAT DO I WRITE ABOUT? My life is way too boring and hum drum for the general public to care about. My opinions ....well as my handle "MISHMASH" foretells...I am a bit scatter brained.  One minute I am running down the pathway of lamenting about being a late starter in the blogging posts and the next I am baiting up the hill and staring into the deep crevices of my scattered mind! It is very easy to blame o...

TESOL Week 7 Culture and Psychology

Image
Of course, culture and psychology are closely entwined. Your make-up, which consists of your upbringing (culture) will define the way you operate in life. This includes your IQ (intelligence quotient), EQ (emotional intelligence), PQ (physical intelligence) and your SQ (spiritual intelligence). There is a new one which has been added AQ=adversity intelligence. Let me summarise the indicators of a clear mind, a whole person, a well-rounded individual: IQ= it is your intelligence test score, as per a written exam. EQ= it is a measure of your interpersonal and communication skills. PQ= Ability to listen, identify and respond to one's internal messages about your physical self wrt weight, fitness and diet. SQ= The ability to behave with wisdom and compassion while maintaining inner and outer peace. Now I could waffle on for hours about psychology and what makes one tick, but for the essence of this blog, I am focussing on CULTURE and one's psychology and how it would apply...
