Potholes

Potholes. Glasgow is riddle with them. I feel like I am on an adventure off-road driving challenge just getting to work, less than a mile away.

The weather has taken it's toll on the roads in town. Snow, gritting, snow ploughs, ice, flooding have all increased the size of potholes anywhere where there are roads.

As I was battling to dodge holes today, I reflected on how potholes appear in our lives and if we don't get the maintenance team out quick, they get bigger and have the potential to require a bigger resurfacing exercise and also cause damage to others as they fall in.

We should make that phonecall for help getting our own potholes filled in, before it becomes a major re-roading that's required...

NEW year 2011

So the bucket list was just to make me remember there are things to prepare for this year and beyond. That it is good to keep dreaming and good to realise that there are new challenges to be faced at the turning of the year. But really living is not just about doing, but about being, it's about being the person that actions dreams and not just being a dreamer that counts for me. It's about believing they are possible, even if everyone thinks not and even if they have been done a million times by other people. It's about being connected to the people and land of a place that makes a dream come true.

Happy dreaming. Happy being in 2011.
