Welcome to ‘When the M-Moon Shines…’

Reflections on Caring for an Aged Relative, Being Unemployed, the Beautiful New England of New South Wales, & Other Life Experiences

About

I’ve started this space to share with you, or maybe with no-one, the things I find interesting. I have learnt so much from other people who have published their thoughts and experiences, that it only seems right and fair to give something back. Saying that, I’m not confident anyone will particularly want to learn from me! But I won’t know ’til I give it a go, will I?

Until recently I had a space - literally, a pulpit! - to share thoughts and learnings with other people on a regular basis. I miss teaching; I miss the stimulation of feedback from thoughtful, curious, and varied people. I miss making a difference. I miss the variety of that life, mingling with people of all ages, and many world views. I miss having a record of my learning, written down for me to stumble across later, and surprise myself - wow, did I really write that? think that? know that?

So this space is a kind of replacement for all of that; and again, how satisfying a replacement it will be is yet to be seen.

I hope something here is of value to you; I hope you are encouraged, surprised, amused, intrigued, helped, reassured, or maybe even equipped.
