Do you know what you want?
Have you stopped yourself lately and had the conversation with yourself about what it is you actually want? Thought about what you have and the direction your life is travelling?
“If you answered yes to the above questions, if you’re out there, I would certainly like to meet you? Because you must be the ONLY person on this planet I would have the pleasure of meeting who does!”
How is it that so few of us on this planet actually know what we want? And why is it so damn hard to figure out? Is there an undiscovered gene amongst all humans that takes control over our capabilities of knowing exactly what we want?
And even when we think we know what we want, you can be guaranteed to find yourself right back at square one again, as life throws you a curve ball and successfully scrambles your every thought. Turning you inside out, leaving you feeling, without warning that the world is a new place, which looks different and you are forced to start all over again.
Most of us must be able to say that at stages throughout our lives we have known EXACTLY what we have wanted. But more often than not, most of us would say that we have had times when we have had absolutely NO IDEA what we have wanted! Isn’t that the curse of life! Never exactly knowing ANYTHING!
Just how many external sources bombard our every thought each day; making us question everything we have and don’t have? The list is virtually endless! How are any of us supposed to be strong enough within ourselves to make a clear decision about what we want when we are constantly being given OPTIONS!
If I try to justify it, I could write about how the flaws of the human race give us a scape goat from needing to be perfect at all times. Wouldn’t it be true to say that human beings evolve and change daily, so, of course, what we want should also therefore change and evolve daily? Giving us permission and the right to spend large amounts of our lives having absolutely no idea!
In the end we all have to make a decision. Right? Or is life so convenient that it makes the decisions for us? And we are just merely passengers along for the journey of life, riding its twists and turns as best we can? I am not going to try and delve into the notions of fate here. The true meaning and existence of destiny is hurting my brain just thinking about it. Maybe another time, another chapter. Today I am just perplexed by truly knowing what it is we all want!
I challenge you all to sit and ponder what it is you want…..
And not to merely take the easy route by stating love, world peace, good health and happiness are all you could ever want and ask for! Because filling in those little dots with the intricacies of how you will actually achieve outcomes which may enable you to have love, world peace, good health and happiness are a lot harder than we give them credit for

Bella Toscana…..Part 8…..Just more blah, blah, blah!
I just want to say a quick thank you to all of you whom have sent me emails letting me know how much you are enjoying reading these chronicles. It is with great pleasure that I write on this page.
Writing has always come very naturally to me. In fact it comes so naturally to me I often find myself in situations where waves of uncontrollable thoughts wash over me, bombarding and bowling me over in the white wash of every wave. Sometimes these waves are so huge, the sentences on any given topic literally fall over each other in my mind trying to make themselves known. Stating their importance and need in which they need to be written down in varying degrees of urgency.
These moments quite obviously and most frustratingly happen at the most inconvenient of times. They never seem to happen just as I am sitting at my laptop, ready and waiting, but moments when I am driving or in the kitchen preparing a meal for 20 people. Moments when I obviously can’t get pen to paper easily without having to pull over or allow risotto to stick to the bottom of the pan!
It’s at times such as these when I literally wish I had a tape recorder of my thoughts, in order for me to capture each and every thought perfectly. To have the luxury of being able to develop and pursue each thought with the attention in which they deserve and I would love to give them. Unfortunately I have found if I cannot get pen to paper in the moments shortly following these inspirational moments of thought they are usually lost forever or I have to wait for them to hopefully reappear during the next episode of spontaneous thought washes over me.
It would be true to say that words flow far more freely from my fingertips than words flow from my mouth in speech. Writers call it a gift, but I call it ‘the curse’. There is nothing more frustrating than not being able to speak as easily and freely as I do within my own mind? Wouldn’t life easier if I could just talk as my mind thinks rather than having to spend arduous hours writing? Words are my way of communicating; I see the world not through images, symbols or music but through words. I guess I should see it as a gift, and maybe I already do. I just wish I saw the world through a method in which allowed me to not have to spend hours in front of a computer. Surely I could have chosen a less time consuming method to express myself. Maybe I really should re-think developing those photography skills further!
And yes, if I admit it, I would love to become published one day. Who knows maybe I will find someone whom is interested enough to envisage a way in which I could find an audience and format for my writing and bring my dream to life. But for now I am enjoying keeping you all updated on my adventures and being able to capture my thoughts and write them down for all of those people who know me so well. So thank you all for allowing me to write.
