Reflection

 

1.  My retirement in 2001 enabled me to pursue astrophysics in greater depth.  
2.  
3. That topic includes the study of light.
4.  
5. We wouldn't be able to see stars etc if there were no reflection. 
6.  
7. Some telescopes depend on reflection.
8.  
9. When it comes to mental self-reflection it is deceptively simple. 
10.  
11. It's the act of looking inward with the goal of understanding who you are, how you feel and where you are going.

30. Unpaid carers include those who keep their mind on a favourite topic.  I chose putting it all on my websites and attending county resource departments and carer groups. 
31.  
    
32.  St Lukes has given me a vast amount of thought which may see the light of day. 
33.  
34. Working in fifteen countries within the context of tourism development ended in 2001. 
35.  
36. Here I have had contact with people from countries new to me in jobs new to me.
