Can relate I have twin eight year old grandsons. Trouble from the word go.

Glad it’s not just me with the blogs! I only write when the flow is there. Ie and idea and at least a starting point. Can get it written down in as long as it takes to put pen to paper. But then by the time I type it up, edit it, select pictures and share it, we’re talking hours and hours! Think it was 4 hours total for yesterdays blog and that was just a quickie in the spur of the moment, it started out as a post and quickly expanded x

Interesting. Why do you only write when the flow is there? 😃 x

Because it’s the easiest way I’ve found🙌 when the flow is there, the words flow. I also have to write them own to paper ! Old skool style. It may take seemingly longer but I enjoy writing in a pad. Very rarely can I create content as I type x

Easy writing. Sounds like witchcraft! 😆

Probably a lot less strain and energy demanding on the old brain writing by hand I imagine. I wonder if there’s been any studies on this? 🧐 x

I think there has been - from what I understand, writing pen to paper uses a different part of the brain. It certainly feels better for me x

My son would be glued to YouTube and the PS5 all day if I let him. He has no tolerance for being bored. It’s hard work, but I hope that the boundaries that we have in place for him now will mean he learns how to create his own boundaries when he’s older.

On the subject of ladders, I climbed them for a long time and got where I thought I wanted, only to find that what I want is not at the end of a ladder. If only not climbing would pay the bills as well as climbing does.

That sounds like beautiful parenting. 💜

Also sounds like you’ve been marching up and down a lot of ladders. Which must be exhausting for you. I hope you’re finding peace and respite from it now. 🙏

I often wonder what a society would look like that supported it’s people to keep their feet planted firmly on their own ground. 🌳💚
