I suffer Bi-Polar disorder (a mental illness) resulting from a traumatic childhood. I have been writing poetry sporadically over the last 5 years. My inspiration has come mainly from my past experiences and coping with my illness. I find it difficult to sustain employment for long periods of time, both due to lack of understanding from management and my inability to cope under pressure. So it is due to this I immerse myself into landscape painting, lawn bowls and family activities.

This is a funny quote I come across:
"It's better to be silent and have others think your a fool, than to speak up and remove all doubt" - Sam Newman.

MEDITATION FOR WOMEN WHO DO TOO MUCH

What I am looking for is not "out there". It's is me.

Solitude is not a luxury. It is a right and a necessity.

My fear is real. When I honour it, I do not need to controlled by it.

All of us are afraid sometimes, that 's human. When our life is ruled by fear, that's addiction.

Perfectionism is self abuse of the highest order.

No one else wil arrange any quite time for me. I have to see to it myself.

It is sometimes frightening to trust my intuition. It is always disastrous not to trust it.

It is not possible to live rich, full life without friends. I have to be one to have one.

when I say no to a request for my time, I am not going away from that person, I am going to myself.

Only as I am ware of the present will I have the opportunity to be fully alive.

I will remember that my illusion of control is just that....an illusion.

When we see how funny we are, we see how dear we are.

Sometimes it helps to know that I just can't do it all.
