Photo was taken at Macroom, Co.Cork (Irl)

This lovely walkway along the banks of the Sullane river in Macroom is always inviting and gentle. Even during the month of January it has appeal and is a lovely get away from the nosisy world outside.



‘Knock the “t” off the “can’t.” ~Samuel Johnson


When we take our eye off what needs to get done or what’s important in life, the chances are high that we are missing out on a lot. It is good to give that 100% into what needs getting done. This does not mean giving 100% of our time, 7 days a week. No one could manage that! What it does mean, is that when we do something, no matter how small, it’s best to give it our all. In our Gospels, Jesus constantly encouraged people to do their best, to keep focussed and especially on the really important things in life. When we find ourselves saying ‘I can’t’, we pray for the encouragement to say ‘I can’.
