Award and meme

This is from Akelamalu - for which much thanks, Ak. This award is "for those that have a generous and giving nature. Those who care about others. Those who have a kind word to say or a broad shoulder to lean on in the times that others need that. Those who display the "Spirit of Christmas"."

This is ironic given that Christmas is my least favourite time of year but that has nothing to do with loving and giving. That is another Long Story.

The Meme is as follows:-

Another meme

I’ve been memed by Lady Thinker –

To list one word, fact or titbit that is relevant to your life for each letter of your name.

When you are tagged you need to write your own post with the above

Then choose one person for each letter for you to tag.

Let them know so they can continue the meme if they wish.

So – here we go, though I have so many names it’s difficult to choose which one to use. I’ll go for what Himself, and most of my friends call me.

P is for painful. Life can be, at times, but then without the bad bits you don’t enjoy the good bits. And life would be boring if it was all plain sailing, wouldn’t it?

O is for out of this world. This morning the sea is calm, another cruise ship came gliding into the harbour under an early morning golden sun, and the dew on the grass was cold and magical underfoot. Summer may be late this year but it seems twice as good.

P (another P?!) is for purpose. If life doesn’t have a purpose then I tend to drift round in circles. I’m not saying I’m driven, but I need to know where I’m going. I’ve just finished reading Boy In the World by Niall Williams which is about just this – finding out what he wants; what his place is in this world. A touching, thought provoking book.

I’m bending the rules here, as I think Penny did, or perhaps I’m just too thick to work out what she did. Anyway, I’m passing it on to 5 people who are:
