Bonding

I really need to get on and make myself that “now” clock – yesterday I lived mainly in the past and felt sad about the future. Tho I did manage to play with my kids a bit and start that jigsaw I didn't manage at Easter. We went somewhere that triggered all kinds of memories and I got stuck. Places can do that.

I'm going to a wedding today – the first time I've been to one as a guest since my husband left. I've been to two singing with my choir and found those very hard. But today is a Hindu wedding and so I imagine it will not have the same moments of pain as I expect there won't be the same triggers. I'm looking forwards to it – a celebration of love is a good thing.

My latest novel is just as fab as I thought it would be. One of the reasons I enjoy this fantasy world so much is the way love in many forms is displayed. Characters communicate and bond with each other, but also communicate and bond with animals and ships. I really like the concept of being connected over space, and of keeping some connection even after death. Communicating love and bonding are important to me as you'll know. The severing of a bond is really really hard, whether it's a friend moving away, a death, or a marriage coming to an end. Let's hope I don't cry too much today...
