After reading the Terry Waite article
I couldn’t help but think what an amazing
and inspiring man he is.
I remember a little of the events
surrounding his capture and subsequent
imprisonment, and it would have been very
easy for the interviewer to concentrate on
those events rather than the man himself,
which is arguably the more important part.
Terry’s fortitude and humanity shines
through, as does his gentle dignity and the
calm acceptance of the truly terrifying
situation in which he found himself.
The effort required to remain mentally
alert throughout his captivity must have
been monumental, and yet he saw it through
with a quiet determination and a steadfast
inner-strength. I feel we could all stand to
learn something from him. Amazingly, he
appears to have little bitterness towards
his captors.
What an incredible man.

A BONNIE LASS
I laughed when Bonnie
Tyler said she had never
been in fashion, it just
shows how unspoiled she is
by fame and good fortune.
Her marvellous
Welshness is very appealing
and her decision to protect
her family from the glare of
the tabloids is so refreshing
in a profession steeped in
vanity and presumption.
Her new album is number
one on my priority list.

PEACE OF MIND
I thoroughly endorse the
encouraging article on
resilience. How many of us
crave immediate answers in
today’s “instant” society? It
was refreshing to read
because there’s no quick fix
pill to attain this hugely
invaluable mind set.
It takes repeated
determined effort and time
but the rewards really are
worth it.
