Autumn is fast approaching and with that may come a need to get up that bit earlier to make yourself a breakfast that's both healthy and heartwarming, one that'll keep you going until lunchtime.
Oddly enough, this post isn't really about porridge. It's about the various ways people like it.
Some add sugar, others salt, other nutmeg, some .. a bay leaf, others honey, some cook it in a pot others in a microwave.
This post, is actually about relationships.
I thought about this, and why it can be difficult to give advice to friends when they're faced with a dilemma in their love life.
I kinda learnt a while back that it can be dangerous ground to say things like, 'he's a shit'.. or.. 'you should leave him/or her'.. these, I think can be definite no nos, even if it's true.
As what one person finds acceptable in a relationship, another will not, or as the saying goes.. one mans meat is another mans position.
Even if a friend is in an abusive relationship, your good intentions may be misconstrued, so you have to tread carefully.
My soul mate Sunday post is about how fortunate it is to find that special someone who just fits like a jigsaw, understands your unique likes and dislikes, and enjoys 'porridge' as you do

@ Dawna hmmm yes relationship advice giving can almost be like shooting yourself in the foot....so sometimes as much as you want to say what you really think about your friend's partner it bodes well to keep your mouth firmly shut and teeth grinding.......
ReplyDeleteI love jigsaw puzzles but off late am finding it increasingly difficult to complete a picture perfect piece, oh well Lkie you will continue to enjoy searching for the matching sets eventually I shall find the right shape, colour and texture for my canvas....
Every year when growing up at around 'christmas time' we'd set out jigsaw puzzles. The older we got, the more complicated they'd become. Long after my brothers got fed up and moved on to other things, i'd still be working on it, eyes blurry as I tried to find a piece that didn't appear to be there. I'd look at the box again, thinking the manufacturers had made a mistake, i'm not ashamed to admit i've even tried to force the wrong piece in it's place...but it never worked. Yet sure enough,once i'd calmed down, and patiently looked through all the little pieces.. the right one was always there!!..all along!!
