Some Sunday Surprises

06/06/2022 | Carole

It’s been a while since I’ve posted on here.

So this Sunday I had a lot of fun visiting my first telephone box library in Bergen on my way to church. It was such a lovely thing to find.

There are only a 100 boxes left since the advances in technology and I love that some are being given new lives as little libraries.

I really enjoyed browsing the shelves and found a copy of Victoria Hislop’s book Øya (the island) which I’ve read a few times and thought it would be useful to read to practice my Norwegian.

Anyway that’s all for now.

Scribbles from last week

Did some old school handwritten poetry last week. It was super fun!

I think I should do this more often 😊.

Footprints and journeys

01/04/201817/05/2018 | Carole

Leave footprints wherever you may go

Sparkle and sunbeams

Scatter as you wander

Memories flying past like

paper planes

Grateful for the journeys taken

Places of growth, pain, joy

and learning

Some things last longer than intended

But the path taken was the

right one and finished

at the right moment.

Where learning meant

Speaking up for yourself is okay

Finding calm in the frantic

Seeing children smile with joy.

Wednesday evening scribblings

21/03/201822/03/2018 | Carole

Some evening thoughts.

No title as yet.

Untitled

Some days I linger in the present

Enjoying what is now

Like smiles and laughter

Hugs and tea time

table drumming

But at night I often

Find myself wishing I

was someplace else

Seeds of discontentment grow

Of feeling alone

And wondering where home is?

I see things often that I like

and stop myself

Cause I don’t have a place to call home

I’m discovering there are

some down sides to

restlessness

Finding belonging is one.

Still something I struggle with

Growing up I was the kid most

comfortable with my head

in a book

Than being in a crowd or

Spending time with others

Reading was a place of escape

comfort and adventure

And it’s still one of the best travel

companions.

Am still being the one to wear

my heart on my sleeve.

Beginnings in February

24/02/2018 | Carole

I’m not one for doing New Years resolutions but this year I have decided to set myself a few goals.

Chiefly to finish my poetry book and get it published is top of the list.

Also to devote more time to reading, learning and all things crafty.

The other day I signed up for a freelance photography diploma which is super exciting. As it’s something I thought about doing in my teens but never did. But I’m so glad I can do it now!

Its okay to chase your dreams one small step at a time.

Signing off for now.
