Growing upwards and outwards, is all part of the fabric of life; just when you think you have reached the core of your onion, more layers reveal an even smaller, shinier little bulb! The twists and turns of this treacherous tapestry is all too much sometimes, but if we fail to push the boundaries then we fail to learn, if we fail to learn, we fail to grow...and isn't that what this whole experience is all about?!
We can all name significant milestones in our lives, moments of clarity where all of the puzzle pieces fit neatly together to form some sense. We can look back with consideration, with regret and even with relief as we begin to understand the actions and behaviours of ourselves and others. But, these are just 'moments' and we are unable to stay still for long; everyone is in a different place and travelling at different speeds to different destinations!
So, I guess life is all about handling your own hopes and fears and if that means being overtaken by a Ferrari whilst you search for fourth in your Morris Minor, remember that it is the journey that counts, not the final destination or indeed the speed at which you get there.

Telly Addict...
I have been watching a lot of TV recently and when I say a lot, I mean a lot! If I had speed dial or family favourites on the Sky controller, Living TV would be at the top of the list, closely followed by Sky 1 and the all new Atlantic channel.
I have always enjoyed TV, more so as a way of switching off than as an educational experience, but some of the stuff on there is so good now, you can see why people don't bother leaving the house anymore. You can literally find hours of anything from the creepy darkness of profiling the 'un sub' in Criminal Minds to the toe tapping, hip wiggling campness of Glee.
The TV experience is not what it used to be; no longer a crappy week of dreary soaps with the odd murder mystery or three part drama thrown in to keep viewers interested. Now, the choice is incredible; detective shows, murder mysteries, serial killer profiling, medical dramas, documentaries on sex, drugs, aging, advice about looking younger, skinnier, camps for fatties, thinnies, druggies and you can watch it whenever you like....
Just when you think you have it all at the end of the controller, they introduce a stronger drug, something more powerful and more addictive...the BOX SET...it's like chasing the dragon...just one more episode, just one more disc, just one more series etc and before you know it, you haven't left the house for days and only got up to
eat, drink and pee!
