Tell Me Something............Anything!

[struth]

When everything in your life is right on track, it's easy to believe that things happen for a reason; it's easy to have faith. But when things start to go wrong then it's very hard to hold on to that faith. It's hard not to wonder whose reasons these things happen for. People like to examine the things that frighten them, to look at them and give them names, so saints look for God, and scientists look for evidence. They're both just trying to take away the mystery, to take away the fear. We all like to think that we have some control over the events in our lives, and a lot of the time we can fool ourselves into thinking that we really are in charge. But then something happens to remind us that the world runs by its own rules and not ours and that we're just along for the ride.

Otherwise, it's a bit random...

why; it was just something for folk to read

[Marco]

Lol - I thought it belonged more on the Covid thread, in reference to what I wrote about not hiding from things and fronting up your fears

Over there, what you've just written makes more sense

it could be copied there too i suppose. profound thoughts is for all tho and many wont read that thread

[Marco]

Lol... Don't see why not - it's certainly had plenty of views!

You should always read stuff that's uncomfortable because it challenges your preconceptions, if by doing so, you might learn something new.

How's that for profound?

na, needs work..

hows princess?

[Marco]

Lol... She's just walked in the door, so you know the usual routine...

She says she's tired, after a difficult day with some problem students, so afterwards I'll run her a bath, so she can chillax. Usual routine there too, of course... Just the RIGHT amount of bubbles, with the water at just the RIGHT temperature, and a glass of chilled Prosecco delivered, before I close the bathroom door and leave her to it (face time with pals on her phone) lol!

She's just about worth it, though

ah poor soul.. problem teens; all one needs, the little buggers. my granson is 14 next week. he will soon become obnoctious im betting

[Marco]

Lol, indeed. She's generally good with them though, as they think she's 'cool'. She's had umpteen emails from her students who missed her badly when she was off work with Covid. Autistic kids can sometimes be more challenging, though.

However, this is her first week back with students, and it was like some sort of celebrity had walked in the door, with her 'fan club' all going YAY, Del's back!

They didn't like her replacement much, as she was no fun, lol. Del plays games with them and all sorts, and just acts like a big kid herself, but at the same time successfully teaches them the required curriculum. That's why she gets results (and is also so highly though of)!
