Gwerthfawrogi fy ardal leol

Gwerthfawrogi fy ardal leol ~ Appreciating my local area


“The object of government in peace and in war is not the glory of rulers or of races, but the happiness of the common man.”
― William Beveridge

Ers i mi wedi bod ymddeol, rydw i wedi cael cyfle gwerthfawrogi fy ardal leol mwy a mwy. Heddiw oedd yn ddiwrnod braf a rhaid i mi ddweud mai'n hawdd gwerthfawrogi'r lle yn yr heulwen.

Es i i sychlanhawyr casglu siaced Nor'dzin.  Roeddwn i'n sefyll o flaen yr eglwys am ryw reswm roeddwn i'n taro gan y meddwl:

'Dylai llywodraethau galluogi eu dinasyddion i fyw a chyflawni eu potensial. Popeth arall yw gwrthdyniad.'

Wn i ddim o ble y daeth y meddwl. Efallai iddo arnofio allan o'r eglwys.

Mae'n creu ffordd ddiddorol o fesur gwaith llywodraethau. Rydw i'n gwerthfawrogi'r meddwl, o ble bynnag y daeth.

Since I have been retired, I have had the opportunity to appreciate my local area more and more. Today was a nice day and I must say that it is easy to appreciate the place in the sunshine.

I went to the dry cleaners to collect Nor'dzin's jacket. I was standing in front of the church for some reason I was struck by the thought:

'Governments should enable their citizens to live and fulfill their potential. Everything else is a distraction.'

I don't know where the thought came from. Maybe it floated out of the church.

It creates an interesting way of measuring the work of governments. I appreciate the thought, wherever it came from.
