I am amazed at how many of the big supermarket chains still use polystyrene and plastic in their packaging of fruit and vegetables. Especially with the information worldwide on the damage to our oceans and the landfills that are full and overflowing with non bio-degradable waste is frightening.

We visit a friend’s fishing cottage in the Eastern Cape regularly and in this remote spot, we find so much rubbish washed up on the beach every time we visit, mostly plastic.

Tolerance - Perhaps I am mellowing with age, or perhaps the world is changing and taking me along with it, but to me, thinking of how I want to live my life, the word TOLERANCE comes to mind. To be tolerant of the things we cannot change, to be tolerant of people who may irritate us and tolerant of those who are ignorant or naïve. To be tolerant of ones family, work colleagues, and tolerant of other drivers on the road.

And I have to say, that since I have taken on this stance of tolerance, I am sleeping better than ever, and therefore happier. To take something intolerable, make it tolerable and add a dash of humour, can change your life.
