“A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in” That’s all there is. It’s so amazing, it doesn’t matter if it’s your or not. It’s that lovely thing, a society grows great when old men plant trees, the shade of which they know, they will never sit. Good people do things for other people. That’s it. The END. And YOU are good, with so much to give. Go do something for someone else, now. Promise you, it will transform your life.
My lord, April (Aibreán) 2024 went by in a blink. As the days begin to stretch, and we close out the winter The return to evening walks are a welcome routine change, if only the weather would cooperate. Climate change has delivered the wettest, windiest and challenging of months and we await some spring settling. I understand the forecasters are optimistic of a move away from single digit temperatures with added windchill 🥶, to double digit temperatures very soon. (But please, don’t hold your breath)
Holding onto resentment, anger and hate is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die. Let go of your resentments. Life is too short. Buddha. Forgive, not forget, from the Therapy Room.
Aibreán (April) also brings the added opportunity of travels to the Co.Clare town of Kilkee on the Wild Atlantic Way. Even with an icy chill to the breeze, a dip into the sea in Moore Bay, Kilkee will re-set your brain fog after a challenging winter. Gratitude, Fresh Air, Breathing and Mindfulness. (April ’24, Snaps)
FINALLY, we all sense that the use of mobile phones (while driving) has reached epidemic proportions. We now have a population of drivers, who have grown up with a mobile phone, near permanently, in their hands. It is part of the fabric of their lives. In every aspect of their lives, and that is extending to DRIVING. Not using Bluetooth while driving or texting while driving beggars belief. PUT THE PHONE DOWN while driving. The embedded video (hyperlinked) happened very close to Carrigaline a few weeks back, with catastrophic consequences. Drive safe and have a great summer.

Forgive and not forget, wise words indeed, from a wise man.
Hopefully Dr Sun exposes himself soon to warm our backs and minds, we do need that glow to reheat our hearts.
Take care, might see you in July for a pint.
Kind Regards, Brian McGowan
A pint sounds PERF.
