What advice would you give to your teenage self?

I have given today’s prompt so much thought. Two dog walks later and I ‘m still unsure which way to go with this.

There is so much in my head that I’d like to get written down.

Guidance for myself would have been a wonderful thing, a mentor would have been a gift.

I can see I will need to think on and hopefully come back soon to this space and fill it out with thought.

In the meantime I will finish with this, a cliche you might want to say…Not really, I’d say.

Mostly attributed to Plato but in fact said by Ian McLaren – the pen name of a minister of the Free Church of Scotland, way back when.

Today we hear a long the lines of….

‘ Be kind, everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about’.

The minister who’s name was John Watson 1850-1907 said

‘ Be pitiful for every man is fighting a hard battle’.
