Rose and Violet, two beautiful colours

My late Grandmothers...

Yes that's their first names in the subject line alright.

Two absolutely beautiful people and I miss them very dearly now that they are gone.

What can I say...

Violet

A Straight talking North Dublin woman.

She was a great character and tuff as nails.

She always gave her opinion without hesitation or request.

The kind of sentences that would make your tea come out you're  nose with shock

Even to a  complete stranger

Something like..

"Your fat" hahaha! No messing around

Serious!

She was always up for a good time and a night out, an absolute riot of a lady to be around

The life of the party was "Nanny" Violet

Rose..

This lady made you check your shit pretty fast if you complained in her company.

When Rose ever heard me complaining about my current situation.

I would be genuinely sick lads

I had  a migraine, I'm going blind with pain

In a jock..

"Nanny" Rose would snap me out of it with

The following sentence...

"Fergal Lawlor!
It's far from your arse you won't sit on it.."

Gangsta or what!?

from a little old lady no less..

In other words

If you're that bothered about your situation do something about it

Or

Dont...

Here is what I learned from these two amazing human beings

All of your semantic bullshit excuses and reason s

are Irrelevant for why you are not where you want to be right now.

Waiting for the perfect moment is stupid

There is no perfect moment, day or time.

There is only now

That's all you are in control off.

If you think you are in control of the future you're deluded

If you fail at something, do something different, or approach it from another angle.

Your current actions  contribute to how your future will go.

So concentrate on now.


Fergal "no excuses" Lawlor
