Feeling like Blogging again

Its been a while since I had a bit of a break. Generally when I am all caught in the work I tend not to have time to reflect. When I do reflect, I feel how dumb and minuscule my life is. There are however some basic observations of how I deal with people around me. I tend to form questions about my observations and today I have had two of such questions. When your mum is geting older 70+ do you talk to her about death and how she feels about the subject or should you do your very best to avoid such matters. She is rather brave and is one of those women that occupy their time by keeping busy and rest devoted to love and family. I however tend to try and imagine if any form of fear is growing on her or not. How do you engage your mum about such subject? The other is one that fascinates me on the subject of gender inequality and role play. This particular one is close to my relationship with my partner and I tend to find it quite hard when I find myself confused in situations where the distinction between the two are quite blurred. Recent Media coverage on 'Baroness Thatcher' may have a bit do with it but not entirely. But I think I need to do some research on what others have already shared on the subject. I am not sure what I will do with regards to the age related question but I do hope I find a way. On the other subject I have got a lot of reading to do.
