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
ANZAC DAY 25th April 2026 – In Brisbane, Australia, autumn rain is falling softly on the memorials, cenotaphs, graves and those people commemorating and mourning the loss of their loved ones, family, friends and mates during war and conflict overseas. I experienced a fly-over (across my home at 10am) by an RAAF F-111 jet fighter. The noise was both deafening and frightening as it flew low across the suburbs, tilted and flew back to the air base.
Meanwhile a march will proceed in the central business district watched by thousands of people, family members and well-wishers. Services are held across the country Lest We Forget.🌼
