      "body": "Thought for today:\n\"This morning, Sheila and I will go to Mass in celebration of Dad Williams' death. He died of a heart attack at the early age of 58 years on April 1st, 1980. All of his life was devoted to providing a good start to life for his two children, Sheila and Winston; earning his living as a barrister.\n\nAlthough, I never met Dad Williams, I meet him regularly whenever I am in the presence of Winston and my wife Sheila. I often find it more than coincidental that the love of his life was, history, politics, law, literature and poetry, as my five lasting interests throughout my life are the very same five interests as his were, plus a love of song and music!\n\nSheila tells me that Dad Williams always encouraged his children's love of poetry; his favourite being 'An Elegy in the Country Churchyard', by Thomas Gray. We were privileged to have Winston read this poem at our wedding on the 10/11/12.\n\nBriefly, the poem was inspired by Gray's thoughts following the death of his close friend Richard West who was both a poet and 'The Lord Chancellor of Ireland in 1725-1726'. Once written, Thomas Gray sent the poem to his friend, Horace Walpole, who in turn popularised the poem among London literary circles. Gray eventually published his poem in 1751. 'An Elegy in a Country Churchyard' has often claimed to have been the best-known and best-loved poem in English. Since first published, it has been translated into many languages and published throughout the world.\n\nThe poem embodies a meditation on death, and remembrance after death. The poem argues that the remembrance can be good and bad, and the narrator finds comfort in pondering the lives of the obscure rustics buried in the churchyard.\n\nThe poem's purpose is not important to this post other than to know that just as Horace Walpole saw it as being one of his roles in life to popularise this poem among London literary circles, so did Dad Williams out in Singapore literary circles each time he proudly had his two children recite the poem to visitors and guests. \n\nWhile we never met, Dad Williams, I still want to thank you for bringing my lovely wife Sheila into the world and teaching her to appreciate the cultural aspects of life, along with a learned devotion to what she sees as her contribution to the lives of so many. Today, we hold in prayer and love for you. Sheila, Bill and Winston.\" William Forde: April 4th, 2018.![b.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmNvewkPdPpz3k3FUomRYkN4ZVi8UEs5TKACKJvxbXsmsQ/b.jpg)",

If, on the other hand, we treat our dreams as we would a kite, and loosen up the strings of restraint, allowing free rein to soar ever higher, we will find that our dreams have only the boundaries which we place on them.\" William Forde : April 3rd, 2018.![b.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmcVj1SkeWrcdg8auXzw1LewsXTgZ2gRHgoXUVbg8hPvAB/b.jpg)",

He loved every person and charges us with expressing our love towards each other. He forgave his persecutors and asks us to forgive in turn, those who don't always side with us and our way of life. This is the Good Friday message. Some might say this message is the same as the one below but merely expressed differently.\n  \n'Walk with me through life and my dog will accompany you to the ends of the earth because he loves me as much as any creature is capable of loving; as much as I love you, and as much as we love God.' \n\nA very Happy Easter everyone.\"William Forde: March 30th, 2018.![b.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmXYkJQ8B5kyDQt8tMTTZdmzEvJXYL8eFCaVS58om7pDfU/b.jpg)",

      "body": "Thought for today:\n\"Some people behave like drama queens. They first overreact to something they don't like and after making a great fuss and palaver, they resume their more normal 'on edge' disposition, at the ready to flare up again at the next small spark of disagreement.\n\nIn short, they like to make storms in a teacup and then complain about getting splashed (mad). They are their own worst enemies and yet, this type of behaviour isn't confined to nasty people alone. I know many a good person who cannot seem to exist unless they are at the centre of a perpetual crisis; usually one of their own making or design. There will always be a problem in their life or on the horizon because the maelstrom of their mind will always look for one!\n\nI recall hearing of a couple of long-term elderly residents in an Old Folk's Home. Neither of the two had spoken to one another for many years, yet they daily entered into battle; talking about each other disparagingly to other residents and overall pulling the other person down. Despite this long silence of over a decade's duration, neither could remember what had been the cause of their original fall out. Their daily disagreeable discourse continued to be carried out for a full fourteen years and only stopped when one of the two male residents died in their sleep, aged ninety-two.\n\nI was told that while no apparent remorse was initially expressed by the surviving protagonist, he nevertheless entered into a permanent state of bereavement after the funeral until he also died some three weeks later. It was thought that the death of one had taken away the life purpose of the other.\n\nLife is too short and is far too sweet to waste in quarrelsome mood and cantankerous mind. Life is for living and enjoying to the full. Few of us truly appreciate this great gift we have when we wake up on a morning to face the day ahead. We think we do, we say we do, but we truly don't until death stares us in the face. It one of mankind's greatest ironies that we never fully appreciate what we have until we don't have it anymore.\n\nThe loudest wake-up call I ever got was to be told that I had a terminal illness over four years ago; and yet it is one of the best things that ever happened to me. I know that most of you reading this post will consider me as somebody who has flipped his lid; a man living in cloud cuckoo land, but you could not be more wrong!\n\nWhilst, during that four years I have continued to breathe, I have been able to experience every second as a 'precious moment'. Healthy people with normal life-expectancy experience each second, minute, hour, day, week, month, year they breathe as being 'a second: a minute, an hour, a day, a week, a month, a year', (some good, some fair, and some bad); whereas every second I continue to live and breathe, I experience as being 'precious'. It is as though God has turned the world upside down by giving me a quality of life and appreciation that normal healthy folk can never know.\n\n​It's a wonderful world that God gave us. Have a good day out there.\" William Forde: March 29th, 2018.![b.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmabdPXueGzcUzv2tTdxm6xqH1HMuwNG2VVoD5ThBSCri9/b.jpg)",

      "body": "\"You must take responsibility for your own life. You can't keep blaming someone else for your disappointments. Life is really about seizing the moment and moving on, not looking back in permanent regret. Do not let the past steal your present. No one has ever been known to get a life looking backwards instead of forward, where one's future lies. Let the past bury its own dead; you've got your future to look forward to!\n\nIf you want to love life for all its worth, you must first learn to value it. Look always in the direction where 'positivism' is to be found. This requires one being constantly channelled into an energy force that is determined to do good. Everything around us is made up of energy and therefore, to attract all things positive in our lives, starts with yourself giving off positive energy.\n\nPositive people believe in self as well as others. I am always doing things that others tell me I cannot do. That is how I get them done. I will not be defined by what others think of me or by 'what I did,' as opposed to 'what I do.' I refuse to be prodded, pressurised and pushed by problems when being led by my dreams makes me a more content individual. In the final analysis, there are only two ways to live one's life. One way is to believe that nothing is a miracle and the other is to believe that everything is! Looking around at the birth of a child and all the mystery of nature and its four seasons, I much prefer to believe the latter.\n\nSo look forward to tomorrow by being purposeful in all you do today. One of the biggest mistakes in life is to travel through it without purpose or self-belief. If we are wise, we will always have a goal to pursue. The trouble with not having a goal to direct you is akin to spending your life running up and down the football field and never scoring!\" March 28th, 2018![b.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmXEXi3QJbpJs9KLqhm1PyE2fY6PUFLAWcB8vTScvrhnqn/b.jpg)",

      "body": "Thought for today:\n\"My dear father died 27 years ago today. Of all the good things he accomplished in life, the best thing he ever did was to marry my mum! In many ways, my mother was the opposite to dad, and the best way to understand the kind of man he was is to know my mother well and to ascribe to dad all of her opposite character traits, with the exception of four which they shared in equal abundance; sheer goodness, generosity, industriousness and love of their children.\n\nAll that I am and ever hope to be, I owe to my parents, but mostly my mother. While it required both mum and dad to give me life, my mother gave me soul and infused me with the belief that anything is possible if you never disown or disgrace yourself, your background or your God. I was taught to honour all three by my mother. My dad who had been reared during a time when a man's word was his bond added, 'Honour your word' as the fourth commandment of the Forde family. The first three children of the family were born in Southern Ireland and the next four were born in West Yorkshire. As the photo above shows, I have always been bonnier than the next two girls in the chain of command.\n\nNext month will be the anniversary of my dear mother's death who died at the early age of 64 years. At least, Dad could once say he bested her when he reached 75 years. Although their great grandchildren never knew them, they meet them on every occasion that they come across one or more of the Forde clan. Some even see their features daily in the image of their children, though they may not recognize it as readily as myself and siblings.\n\nAlthough a non-academic who left school to work as soon as she entered her early teens, my mum was nevertheless a woman of substance who taught all seven of her children the finest lesson of all; to look out for each other as long as we live. Her education may have been unfinished, but her wisdom and depth of thought was profound and started each of her children in their journey of life along a wholesome road. She was a born storyteller or as others may prefer to have described her, 'a teller of tall truths' and I'm sure that my sixty-seven published books are down to her indirect influence. Dad also left school before his education was complete to enter the market of work. He never experienced the same close family bond with his parents as mum did, and for the whole of his life, he never came across as being a tactile person. It was not until after mum died that he started to become more expressive and was prepared to show his more vulnerable side.\n\nMum always encouraged the honest expression of one's feelings at the moment of their birth, whereas dad rarely revealed what he was thinking. She never thought to cry to be unmanly and believed that tears are the raw expression of the bravest of thoughts. I only ever saw my dad cry once, after I told him that I was getting a divorce. I never quite knew if he was crying for me or the possible loss of my soul and slight to Catholic Church orthodoxy.\n\nMum also said to think before speaking as one can never retrieve the spoken word nor get back the stone after the throw. One of her nicest pieces of wisdom though was when she told us to walk gently through the world as we are not always aware when we tread upon the fragile feelings of others. She also said that we should know the earth's beauty all the days of our life. Dad never came across as being the romantic type, although mum said that he would cycle thirty miles each way midweek when they were courting, just to see her in Portlaw where they went walking the fields and meadows.\n\nI remember the last time I saw mum looking out of the hospital window from her bed in Staincliffe Hospital the day before she died. I had just spent an hour visiting her and said that I'd visit again tomorrow. She was smiling. My last image of dad was to see him in tremendous pain in his flat in Liversedge. He had seemingly had a stomach cancer for at least two years before he died from it, and had never once sought medical assistance for it. To dad, there were always people worse than himself who needed the attention of the medical services more.\n\nMy mum wasn't faultless by any stretch of the imagination, but by God, she was a good person and a loving mother. I would best describe her as being a perfect example of how to find oneself and remain happy and content with the person found. Through the very example of hers and dad's existence, they taught me the two most treasured lessons that any set of parents could teach their child. Mum taught me 'how to live happily' and dad taught me 'how to die with dignity'. Mum's secret was simple; never keep your love distant from others and always keep a smile close by. Dad's secret was to always stay close to God and dignity will stay with you until the end.\n\nMy father also was far from faultless. He cared too much about 'image' and how one presented themselves to the neighbours. His shoes were always polished to the point that one could see one's face look back at you, whereas mums would be frequently scuffed. My mother's favourite taunt of dad was, 'I've known murderers, Paddy, who could see the reflection of their crimes as they were committing them in their highly polished shoes!' Another favourite taunt of mums was, 'If only the neighbours could see and hear you now, Paddy. They'd soon see the gentleman you're not!'\n\nMy parents were no different to lots of other parents of the time with many children to care and provide for. Their marriages could be separated into three parts; the loving years, the practical years and the reconciling years when all the children have grown and flown the nest. Being their firstborn, I enjoyed their most loving years, which made my grounding as happy and as emotionally stable as it could have been. By the time that the youngest two children were born, I'd left home and rows between them grew more frequent and intensive. They were never violent arguments they had; they merely demonstrated to the other the quickest way of throwing a pan across the room, or how to smash a pot against a wall into a thousand pieces!\n\nI often wondered how mum and dad ever managed to get together in the first place, with them being so dissimilar in character traits. Dad was shy and non-expressive; a man who didn't mix easily, whereas mum could make friends with any stranger or the first beggar she met. My mother's greatest criticism of dad was that he didn't dance, enjoy a drink, sing or have fun. Dad never drunk apart from the odd half on family occasions; largely because his own father drank too much. Dad never danced in his life, (except on the football field when he played soccer for Ireland), and although mum might never have heard him sing, there were two songs that he always sang in the bathroom when getting a bath, 'Some Enchanted Evening' and 'Sweet Sixteen.' Myself and sisters Mary and Eileen would giggle as we listened to him outside the bathroom door.\n\nDad was 'too religious by half' according to mum. Whereas he would always be knelt down in his pew on a Sunday morning, a good ten minutes before Mass started, Mum always arrived five minutes late and left five minutes early to have a quick smoke outside. Mum always said, 'An hour's sermon is long enough for anyone to get to heaven. I've things to do! Things to do!' As for tobacco, dad hated smoking whereas mum was a chain smoker. Everytime mum lit up a cigarette in the house, dad would open one of the windows, whatever the season. It was often like living in an open field.\n\nGiven all of these differences between my parents, I once asked mum why she had married dad. Her reply was, 'Billy, apart from being pregnant with you at the time, how could I not marry him? He was handsome and played football for Kilkenny and the Irish soccer squad; and besides, I was ready for leaving home: and I loved him!'\n\nGod bless you Dad from your oldest child, Billy. I only knew you to sing two songs in the whole of your life, while mum would sing all day long, every day. Your two songs were, 'Some Enchanted Evening' and 'Sweet Sixteen'. I have sung 'Some Enchanted Evening' this morning for you and will sing 'Sweet Sixteen for you this evening to celebrate your life as head of the Forde Family.x\"William Forde: March 27th, 2018.![b.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmXKGJXGKd2G4KYbHiKYCkf4KdbnDPv8wpP2ZPFSqa9nhc/b.jpg)",

      "body": "Thought for today:\n\"While I am a great believer in the process of 'kiss and make up,' there are some reconciliations that I could never feel quite comfortable with.\n\nFor instance; if someone has been a lifelong foe, and for whatever stated reasons they suddenly start snuggling up to me affectionately and want to make peace. That is a time when my innate suspicions and sense of mistrust would begin to rise and I would find myself in danger of being highly sceptical of their true motives. \n\nI would find this baser nature of mine placing the power of 'positivism' and 'negativism' in direct conflict with each other. Momentarily, I would find myself overriding my better conscience and my belief in the saying, 'everyone deserves a second chance.' Then, just as Satan smiled at the prospect of securing himself another soul convert, I'd hear my late mother's voice in the background and would find myself having been pulled back towards the gates of goodness once more from the jaws of hell.\n\nMum would say, 'Stay positive, Billy and believe. Believe in truth, love, sincerity, trust, self and God. Believe in these things and all things will become possible; even a hungry fox comforting a poorly chicken.' \n\nIn later life, one of my two most popular children's books that sold over 50,000 copies and which the late Princess Diana asked me to send her to read to the young Princes, William and Harry when they were respectively aged 9 and 7 years, was called 'Sleezy the Fox'. The book theme is 'Second chances' and the story plot involves the taming of a wild fox to the extent that the fox finishes up comforting poorly chickens instead of eating them!\n\nIn fact, the more I think about things, the more I am coming to fully appreciate just how much our past plays an active part and strong influence in most of what we do today and go on to do in later life; and although past, present and future are interdependent in the degree of influence they exercise over our mind and body, the three dimensions of our life remain connected from cradle to grave.\n\nFor instance, over the past two months, I have been engaging in daily singing practice to improve my lung functioning (which incidentally continues to gradually improve).\n\nThe strange thing is that all of the forty plus songs I have so far sung has a particular memory association in my mind that is connected to my past. This goes back to songs that my grandmother sang 70 years ago and my mother, father and uncles sang as far back as 50 years ago; along with places I've been to, films I saw as a young boy, and things I did as a young man.\n\nIt looks like we presently reside in the skeleton form of our past, and our experiences provide us with a bit of fresh meat on the bone. And, when we die and are buried, our flesh will gradually depart our body once more, leaving us a buried skeleton of memories we once held in another lifetime.\" William Forde: March 26th, 2018.",

      "body": "Thought for today:\n\"Character consists not of the number of times one is knocked down, but of getting back up. The true measure of a person's character isn't how one lives with success, but how one reacts to the experience of failure, and in particular what one does on the third and fourth knock-back?\n\nOn every occasion in my life when something uninviting and unhelpful has occurred, my mind has always gone to those wise words of my mother which she often spoke to me.\n\n'There may be many people who are capable of putting you down, Billy, but only you can keep yourself down.' \n\nAs a young man in my early twenties, I had a good and very wise boxing instructor. While I could never really box with any great skill, I engaged in the sport at an amateur level in order to improve my balance, very much as I took up horse riding; having one leg a few inches shorter than the other as the result of a traffic accident. I often spun around too fast and lost my footing. \n\nMy instructor would constantly remind me as I entered the ring, 'Don't forget Bill, however many times he knocks you down, if you get up every time within ten seconds, he can never knock you out!' \n\nI guess that my mother and my boxing trainer, though one be stranger to the other, most certainly had a meeting of minds along the way!\n\nOver the past five years since I was diagnosed with a terminal blood cancer, I have met and had contact with so many people who suffer daily with no reasonable diagnosis that they will ever improve. Many of them are destined for an early death, and some can realistically expect a horrendously painful one; given the nature of their cancer. I am sure that the vast majority are frightened of dying and yet they carry on with their daily lives positively, engaging in the lives of others and the activities of the community. Such people are truly brave. I remember being once told by a seasoned soldier who was in active service for 21 years; where colleagues of his were killed and mutilated regularly. He told me that he was scared stiff every time he went on a mission to take out the enemy. It was this very fear he held which denoted the action he involved himself in as 'bravery.' This reminded me of my mother telling me, \"Billy, only cowards should ever be awarded medals for bravery.'\n\nSo every time you fear something yet face your fear, remember that you are exercising a bravery that the competent, confident, accomplished and the fearless do not have and can never possess! My one piece of advice to all persons who are having to cope with terminal cancer is never to forget to spend the remainder of your days 'living your life' instead of focusing on your death, and thereby wasting what little precious time you have left to spend with your loved ones.\" William Forde: March 19th, 2018![b.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmf8Le7trrby662MGPm3sbeTpgZEUtp9QZCM7jNdNQYL5N/b.jpg)",

      "body": "Thought for today:\nWith all the recent changeable weather, I can't wait for spring to come to both the gardens and allotments instead of merely being a date on our kitchen calendars and teasing one with brief glimpses of what 'should be' instead of 'what is'. As the Sioux warrior chief, Sitting Bull is once said to have remarked,'Behold, my friends, the spring has come; the earth has gladly received the embraces of the sun, and we shall soon see the results of their love.'\n\nWhile my health has been as stable as it possibly could have been over the past six months, I have only been spared further pneumonia, death threatening bugs and emergency hospital admissions and treatment because I have mostly stayed at home inside, keeping warm for most of this period and greatly restricted my contact with human viruses (that essentially means avoiding human contact for the most part). Our allotment offers me release from this house prison that contains my old body nine months of each good year, and spring just won't allow me to stay in the house any longer than needs must. I can't wait to get out and breathe the air deeply again and sing with the birds and the plants in our allotment.\n\n​I usually write two books a year, health permitting, and they are written and published during the cold winter months. When spring arrives, I put down my pen and do not take it up again until autumn has come and gone.\n\nSpring brings perpetual astonishment to me and with its promised coming. I am calm again. Nature paints spring a colourful glow and make me forget that anything as cold and harsh as winter ever existed. It carries the hope of rebirth and new life in its ground, the love of life sleeps in its cool breeze and hope abounds when the sweet music of the birds fills the air and blades of moorland grass beneath lovers lying are crushed in an amorous embrace.\n\nThe Bohemian-Austrian poet and novelist, Rainer Maria Rilke who wrote in the late 19th and early 20th century was recognised as one of the most lyrically intense German poets. He wrote the words, 'The spring has returned. The earth is like a child that knows poems'. I include below one of the spring poems that I wrote to celebrate my wish to see spring return:\n\n'If only one wish was granted to me': Copyright: William Forde\n\n\"If only one wish was granted to me,\nto save spring meadows for all to see\nwould be my wish, my heart's desire\nto see spectacular poppy fields fire\nicy hearts, stagnant thoughts and sorry souls\nback into life, where only Nature holds\nwithin its ground, eternity.'\n\nWilliam Forde: March 18th, 2018.",

      "body": "Thought for today:\n\"On this glorious day of the 17th, March, as an Irish-born man who now lives in Haworth, I wish all my family and friends a very happy Saint Patrick's Day.\n\nThere were some disadvantages to being Irish as I grew up, but such were always greatly outweighed by the advantages I encountered. I don't why, but all the Irish seem to enjoy attending funerals. I've even known some travel five or ten miles just to have a good day out at the funeral of some stranger, followed by attending the reception and get together afterwards. I'll never forget the first Irish funeral I attended as a child and in particular, the words that the priest conducting the ceremony used to describe the man being buried.\n\nAs the coffin was lowered into the ground, the deceased was described as having been 'a saint, a scholar and a gentleman.' A large part of me regretted never having known this great man. Over the years that followed, I attended numerous Irish funerals. I was almost eleven years old before I realised that every Irish man I'd ever seen buried had been described by the priest conducting the burial as having been 'a saint, a scholar and a gentleman!' It would seem that these words can be purchased from the priest conducting every Irish funeral for a mere €20.\n\nSo there you have it, you English folk. All Irish men are born, live and die superior to other nationalities. Saint Patrick himself must have truly worked his miracles when he converted every man in dear old Ireland to saints, scholars and gentlemen. Isn't it just a shame that he did nothing to change the weird and wild ways of the Irish woman, who let me tell you, no English man will ever be able to tame and turn into an English lady.\n\nThe Irish have always been known for their pragmatism; their ability to blow with the wind, especially when they need to urinate on an open moorland on a windy day. Here is a little story to demonstrate this national trait: \n\nTHE IRISH PROSTITUTE\n\nAn Irish daughter had not been home for over five years. Upon her return, her father cursed her heavily.\n\n'Where have ye been all this time, child? Why did ye not write to us, not even a line? Why didn't ye call? Can ye not understand what yer put ye poor old mother through?'\n\nThe girl, crying, replied, 'Da...I was scared to show my face in my hometown again...you see... I became a low-down dirty prostitute.'\n\n'Ye what!? Get out a here, ye shameless harlot! Ye hussy, ye sinner! You're a disgrace to this Catholic family. Get out and never show your face 'round here again! You're no daughter of mine. Begone with ye!'\n\n'OK, Da... as ye wish. I only came back to give Ma this luxurious fur coat, and a title deed to a ten-bedroom mansion; plus a five million euros savings certificate. For me little brother, I have this gold Rolex and for ye Da, who could never afford a car, there's the sparkling new Mercedes limited-edition convertible that's parked outside, plus a ten-year membership to the country club of your choice. I'd also like to extend an invitation for ye all to spend New Year's Eve on board my new yacht in the Riviera. Ye could have a cracking time and I'd make sure ye be back home for St Patrick's Day by first-class travel.'\n\n'What was it ye said ye had become?' asked her father.\n\n'A prostitute, Da!' the girl cries, 'A low-down dirty prostitute.'\n\n'Oh! My Goodness! Ye scared me half to death, girl! I thought ye said a low-down dirty Protestant! Come here and give yer old Dad a hug. It's fair grand to see you again!\"\n\nHappy Saint Patrick's day to all my family and Facebook friends. Mine's a pint of Guinness!\" : William Forde: March 17th, 2018.![b.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmae91xMhVD7ywCrsXs2XYih9UcwaAqa2H14oGLD8R3KSf/b.jpg)",

      "body": "​Thought for today:\n\"Only a true Haworth resident will know that 'The Bronte Way' is no rambler's walk or bridal footpath in our fair land. We true stalwarts know that the phrase was born in the breast of a mother of thirteen children who was reported to have been born in a little cottage up Main Street during the 1830's.\n\nIt was she who first found 'The Bronte Way' after she discovered the best method of disciplining her young without needing to resort to the belt or birch. For a mother to be a good disciplinarian she must have the 'Bronte Look' and the 'Bronte Finger' as the residents of Haworth have come to know and she must also possess the skill to synchronise both perfectly.This is what has come to be known as 'The Bronte Way'.\n\nIf you don't believe me, wait until you next see a child about to break out into a tantrum in the Main Street. If they get a sharp clout, a smacked bottom or their ice cream cornet snatched from their hands in punishment and thrown away, then know them to be visitors.\n\nIf, on the other hand, however, instead of threatening them with any words or stick to hand, the mother simply looks them straight in the eye and points in 'The Bronte Way,' you know she hails from Haworth. I guarantee that the silent image will initially stop them in their tracks for a moment, which is usually enough time to regain control of the situation.\n\nWhere do you think that the late Barbara Woodhouse developed her successful approach to establishing dog obedience? Why from Haworth of course!\n\nAs for Bronte women's way of keeping their husbands in check in the departments of drinking too much, having a wandering eye or even daring to have a mild dalliance with a loose married woman who has recently come into the area, there is the eternal threat of the 'Cullingworth Cleaver' which is hung within husbandly eyesight in every Bronte woman's kitchen. Every Bronte man knows that if he desires to remain a man and is to be one day buried with all his body parts which he had attached to his torso when he first entered this life, that drink in moderation, no fanciful notions of mind or deviation from marital vow is the order of the day.\" William Forde: March 16th, 2018.![b.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmVYaHaeNdVnwMoK4FVmqF2iDnhyFBWTZs1RZNkk9iUikq/b.jpg)",

      "body": "Thought for today:\n\"For twenty-five years I worked as Probation Officer specialising in areas of stress and fear reduction and anger management. Backing up all work in these areas was Relaxation Training.\n\nInstead of looking at some of the more sophisticated procedures in helping these problem areas today, I would like to deal with the many simple things that anyone can/should do to not worry as much whatever it is they worry about.\n\nSo here are a few tips that I borrowed from the psychology shelf many years ago, have used constantly, and like the old library book never returned! These are things that worriers can instantly apply to their lives with significant benefit instantly accruing.\n\nWorrying is like a rocking chair insomuch as it gives us something to do, but doesn't get us anywhere we want to go. Like a mother with a large brood who is constantly worrying where the next bite is going to come from, was she starting again, she would know from her own past experience that fewer chicks to look after should mean fewer worries to contend with. Why must we complicate our lives, when all that is required to prevent one worrying unnecessarily all day long is to keep it simple. Here are a few helpful tips I have found extremely valuable over the years in keeping our many problems fewer:\n\nWhen missing someone, if possible, contact them by any means available.\n\n​When wanting to go out with someone, invite them. They can, at worse, only say 'no' and could also say 'yes'.\n\nWhen wanting to be understood, explain in statements of direct simplicity.\n\nIf you have a question that puzzles you, ask someone who might know the answer to tell you.\n\nIf you don't like what something or someone is saying or doing, say so and ask them to stop.\n\nIf you do like something they are saying or doing, let them know you like it.\n\nIf you love someone, tell them and show them.\n\nIf you feel a strong emotion, appropriately express it.\n\nI have learned over the years that the precise words we speak command the corresponding attachment of an appropriate level of body energy to accompany them, that will either make it more or less likely for a specific action to happen. This energy level blends our intentions to our mental instructions, to which our body reacts.\nFor Example:\nSaying 'I might' will produce a 'possible' outcome or may not, as the energy/determination level is set low.\nSaying 'I will' is more likely to produce a 'probable' outcome as the energy/determination level is set higher.\nSaying 'I shall' will most likely produce the 'definite' outcome you desire as the energy/determination level is set as high as can be.\n![b.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQ6L8E3DaEnzfpKD8VjP3xFnKjmiXsc2xmXQUEpyoo6a2/b.jpg) started off!\n\nKeeping things easy enables life to go much smoother. It also helps if you don't have a dozen hungry young ones to look out for all day with no 'me time' in-between fetching and carrying!\" William Forde: March 15th, 2018.",

      "body": "\"Thought for today:\n\"When I was a young boy, my mother would say, 'Billy, you may never know what you want to be when you grow up, but whatever you turn out to be, I pray that you are content!' I learned very early on in my life that 'contentment' was the art of getting out of every situation all the good that there was in it. Being born the eldest of seven children into a family of materially poor circumstances taught me that the richest person isn't the one who has the most, but the one who comes to need the least.\n\nSometimes when I complained that I didn't have the things that other boys had, my mother would remind me, 'Billy, you have much more. You have your loving family! When I die, I will leave you the greatest inheritance of all. You will have the knowledge that I always loved you and the legacy of your six brothers and sisters by your side. There is no greater treasure I can leave you, believe me.' She was so right.\n\nOver the years that followed, my mother's words proved their weight in gold. I learned that however difficult life could get from time to time that I never felt alone. After I became a Probation Officer and saw people in their most torturous of circumstances, on subsequent occasions when I didn't get everything I wanted, I could at least be content with the fact that the things I didn't want, I didn't get either! These were things like depression, despair, destitution, dissatisfaction in all I do, lack of confidence, feeling unloved and unwanted, being devoid of purpose or harbouring doubt in myself and the future!\n\nThe power of positive thinking taught me that nothing is either good or bad in this world that thinking it so, will not make it so! I also learned through positive thinking that I could always get what I wanted out of life once I learned to want what I got!\n\nFinally, teachings from my religion along with teachings ascribed to the Buddha taught me that 'less is more' once I started to appreciate and accept that everything we possess that is not necessary to life or happiness has the potential to become a burden, and that a day rarely passes when we do not add to it. Therein lay the wealth of my inheritance and legacy that my mother and father left me when they died. Dad was a man who walked as proud as any other man and never looked up to or down on no other. Mum was a woman who often carried an empty purse but had a heart filled with love and a mind stuffed with Irish wisdom that she gladly shared. Together, along with my six siblings, my family represents to me where I came from. My relationship with my loving wife, Sheila, represents the happiness cloud I've been floating inside for the past eight years since we first met, and my relationship with my God will keep me alive eternally in His house. \" William Forde: March 14th, 2018.![b.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmU6ZZ4NHYv9Tr1zujqA9SouiH6hLZj1bWhXbimcAqcd5c/b.jpg)",

      "body": "Thought for today:\n\"Oh shadow of saving sunlight, the window of my soul and instrument of my fate, fly me away from all earthly pain and distress and let me be enabled to look at life anew. Take me from the path of earthly danger and move me towards immortality in the heavens above. Let me settle on some distant moon and look down upon the earth below in all its radiant splendour as I gaze upon my past, but not yet for I still have much to do.\n\nWas I to sit upon the moon and look down on all my earthy actions with total detachment, would the great, the good, the kind and the humane things I did for and towards others look as great, good, kind and humane from on high? Would I see that I did them for the benefit of myself as much as I did them to enhance the lives of others? Would I see that I liked being 'good' because it made me look 'good' in the eyes of others and thereby feel 'good' in myself? Was such a path I chose to walk paved with intentions of humility or martyrdom?\n\nAnd would those things I did, and which at the time of their enactment seemed so wrong to do, be now judged as harshly as I once judged them? Were those battles I fought through a sense of righteous anger and the wars I engaged in between adversaries and attackers of my beliefs, family and country, really as wrong as I initially thought them to be?\n\nThank God it takes a God from on high to know the true difference between 'right' and 'wrong,' and the truth and falseness between 'consequence' and 'intent'. It was never meant for one man of this earth to stand in judgement over the deeds of another and to act as judge, jury and executioner. Neither was the earth designed to make half of the people on one side of its planet forever live in the shadow of the other half's brightness; placing some high and enabling them to look down on others.\n\nAll injustice shall one day be righted. Those who presently 'have not' shall 'have' and those whose life is spent looking up to others shall no longer need to elevate their gaze beyond their horizon.\n\nI have often wondered if my lot in life had been to have been born the poorest of the poor in an underdeveloped and politically corrupt country, how would I have fared? Would my handicaps and social disadvantages have prevented me from 'finding me' and 'being me'? I'd like to think that material acquisitions, education levels, social position and group influence, or the lack of them, can never stop any person in any part of the world from finding themselves, discovering their purpose in life and becoming a good person in their dealings with others in the process of living their lives.\n\nI must confess that while I've never had any conscious desire ever to look down on anyone, that sometimes by allowing oneself to be placed too high in another's esteem, can often lead others less worldly-able to feel more inferior than they might otherwise have felt, had they never known you in the first place!\n\nI have often wondered why I found the 'Murder in the Cathedral' by T.S.Eliot a most captivating and thoughtful read. It is because the author poses one of life's conundrums that has always fascinated me. The book tells the story of the assassination of Archbishop Thomas Becket in Canterbury Cathedral in 1170, at the altar steps. Prior to his assassination, Thomas Becket gave his last sermon which referred to possible martyrdom for one's religion. He was, subsequently murdered in the Cathedral shortly after and was later canonised.\n\nMany thought his final sermon to be too provocative for the King's barons at the time and invited/incited his own martyrdom. The question that T.S.Eliot's words posed in his dramatic play was, 'Is the greatest of all treason is to do the right deed for the wrong reason'.\n\nMy father was the most humble man I ever knew and his oldest son (myself) will clearly acknowledge the sin of 'Pride' as being the greatest of my sins and ironically, the least desirable side of my character traits. I cannot deny that there has always been a burning desire inside me to be the first, the best at anything and everything I do. The question which has always represented the conundrum of my life is, 'Why do I behave thus?' Do I do those things in my belief that my efforts will eventually 'pay off' on this earth? Or do I believe that if I remain a 'good person' I shall receive the just rewards for my efforts through my eventual entrance into Heaven and eternal happiness on the 'Day of Judgement?' And, is one of these motives any less/more worthy than the other?\n\nI know in my heart of hearts that the only way any person can escape this greatest of life's conundrums is to consciously and unconsciously do the right thing in any set of circumstances without fear or favour, for no other reason than to believe it to be the right thing to do!' If there is a Heaven, therefore, do not all followers of a God who do good throughout their lives, start off with less chance of ever arriving at the Pearly Gates than any agnostic who lives their life doing the right thing for no other reason than they believe it to be the right thing to do? \" William Forde, March 13th, 2018.![b.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmdqTq9EyxAzTACyrwBngznqdTZyGWZN47iY6H6sJxsoK6/b.jpg)",
