FLY WITH ME
Welcome to Thoughts Become Words.com and the many words flying from my keyboard to blog to you.
I hope you can hang around!
“The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts” said Marcus Aurelius, a Roman emperor and philosopher.
So, please swing by my Current Posts (New Posts) category for a birds-eye view of my thoughts as they become seen, take wing in a flurry of words and flutter down onto the page in my AI-free zone.
Alternatively, you can strut through my Past Posts (Older Posts) with the most recent perched at the top of the list. For specific posts, I have a Search box. Also you will see I have three home page tags for About, Bio and Contact pages.
My blog posts are linked by Category/Tags, I have many different topics and opinions covering a range of subjects with individual blog post headings and my own photography where specified.
Flights of fancy and down-to-earth viewpoints are landing now … please read on …

Helping Communities
A detail from an oil painting by my grandfather F.C. Bernet circa 1954 shows a portion of beach on Phillip Island, Victoria Australia, looking towards the mainland. Originally a fishing community with campers in the summer, the island transformed in later years to become a tourist destination to visit the Fairy Penguins and more recently the Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix. The quiet beaches and small hamlet of Cowes is no doubt unrecognisable from my school holiday visits but I guess beautiful Cape Woolamai is still rugged and wild. Image © Gretchen Bernet-Ward 2026
