Sad
Feeling sad is a state of being. When we find ourselves having sadness as a bedfellow we can choose the alabaster of joy. © Norma Bobb -Semple 2020

Writing and sharing is my passion. I like to explore life through poetry and share my take on life's endless highs and lows.
Control
We can’t control our beginning or our ending. The only space in which we have control is now. Now is where, by the choices we make, our present is foreshadowed by pain or joy. ©Norma Bobb-Semple 2020
Do it Now
Although we behave as though we have eons of time at our disposal, sadly it isn’t so. We have a lot to accomplish on our short sojourn, our motto should be: I have to do it now. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2020
Honour
Give yourself the honour you know you deserve. If when people look at you they see you as a bastion of respectability and honour they would be less inclined to besmirch you or your character. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2020
Be Awake
Do not allow self aggrandizement to lull you into being complicit in your own disenfranchisement. Be awake and be aware at all times. © Norma Bobb-Semple
The Take Down
It’s not about whose mistakes are bigger. If take downs are what you do remember that doesn’t absolve your mistakes. Trying to prove that your mess is lesser than the other person’s only reveals the immaturity that is festering within. Let your mistakes be a catalyst for growth. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2020
Escapism
You can’t escape from your problems. You have to face your challenges. Take the time to look into how you got where you are and make the necessary changes. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2020
Self-made-man/woman
Our success or failure depends on us. We are the influencers in our lives. If we are dedicated to our life goals nothing can stand between us and our success. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2020
The Past
We have to honour our past life for it is because of our past that we find ourselves where we are today, Lessons learned from the past ought not to be forgotten. If we don’t remember our past it will forever be repeated in our lives. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2020
Summertime
Reminding ourselves of summer brings warmth to our chilling hearts. Change is inevitable and we must embrace change. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2020
