Great reflections & still the stories coming in on Facebook  Then I added mine:: I remember coming downstairs to a big warm coal fire, my Dad worked in coal mines, so we always had stacks.  Then I saw big grey socks hanging from the shelf above the fireplace. 4 of them for 4 boys including me - the youngest.  In my sock was an apple and an orange. I had never seen an orange before.  This was middle of world War 2.  No sweets in the shops. Everyone on rations.  Everything was rationed.  Butter. Jam. Bread. You name it.  I guess it was about 1943 - me about 4 years old.  SMELL:: Me Mam’s Christmas dinner in the making.  BHP

BHP   You’re in a tough spot I try to stand near you In solidarity of a sort   I cannot experience your anxiety But I know how you feel I always know how you feel    You are that rare breed A huge heart for youth Those bundles of energy and hurt, left dangling   Look at the upstream, not the downstream Everyone is fighting a battle we do not understand Growth does not reside in a place called comfortable   This wisdom has been carved From Lancashire terraces and East London tower blocks The backstreets of heaven   From midnight clubs to a multi-storey YMCA To chaotic canvas cities packed to the rafters Where trifle trickles down your neck   The land of the blob Where gutter feelings are shared, always shared Through unique fingertip touching   Your accent makes me smile Just down the road from me, but so different The land of pies and refracted glass   Rugby league, not football I can forgive you that At least we like the same band   In our café liaisons You are constantly connecting

  5-a-day  emotional HEALTH 1 Welcome all feelings as signals/information not a 'to do list' 2 Practice sharing feelings in every day life NOT emotion outbursts but as they feel in reality.  3 Think when you have feeling rather than allowing feelings to speak for you.  4 Look beyond a persons difficult behaviour or words. Think UPSTREAM.  5 Help others, and yourself, by sharing emotions first which gives permission for others to try it themselves.

  I ask QUESTIONS. The answers are special beautiful raw real This question was:: If you write a book about your life What would be a standout CHAPTER? This is one of the many majestic answers:: I think each chapter of my book would start with either a quote or song lyrics, and be titled accordingly! So, I am sharing about one particular chapter… Lullaby “I know the feeling Of finding yourself stuck on the ledge And there ain’t no healing From cutting yourself with the jagged edge I’m telling you that it’s never that bad And take it from someone who’s been where you’re at You’re laid out on the floor and you’re not sure You can take this anymore So just give it one more try With a lullaby And turn this up on the radio If you can hear me now I’m reachin’ out to let you know That you’re not alone And you can’t tell, I’m scared as hell ‘Cause I can’t get you on the telephone So just close your eyes Well honey here comes a lullaby Your very own lullaby Please let me take you Out of the dar
