Counting Down
Yep, it’s less than a week until my birthday. I have revived my childhood habit of counting down the days. Well I’ve been doing it most of my life to be honest but I’ve just not been putting it out there (never had the internet then!). I know most people are counting down to Christmas, but those of us with birthdays in December will put off doing that until after our birthday if they are anything like me! I have refused to put up our Christmas tree until after my birthday, and then when my daughter came along on the 10th of December I wanted to wait until after that as well, so as not to mix up the celebrations. Darin’s is on the 27th, so that leaves a very slende

Next Year
I am going to the senior campus of our school next year. I have known about it for a little while now and have been thinking about it. I am nervous for sure. I have reassured countless year 9s over the years about going to the ‘big’ school. This year I can actually share their anticipation. It is a mixture of excitement and apprehension. I have loved working where I am. The community has been a solid part of my life. The people I work with are like a family to me. I see them every day. They have shared my joys and pains over these years. I have friends and helpful people surrounding me. Rhonda is there. I know who I can rely on. I know where all the resources are, I k

Warm Weather
I love it. I enjoy waking up and not feeling like I can’t face the outside of my bed because it is too cold. I love the brightness of a clear blue sky. I love swimming in cool water on a warm day. I love a cold drink after a hot day. I love wearing light clothes. I feel energised by the warmth. I feel happy and alive. I feel blessed thaqt I have places to swim and the energy to swim in them. I am lucky I have air conditioning if I need it.

New Moon in Scorpio - Tuesday 17th November 2009
The moon is new in the early am of tomorrow. Lynda Hill’s Sabian Symbols: An X-Ray Diagnosis  explains all the things going on in the skies and the energy surrounding it. I’m hoping for that understanding and deeper insight. I just looked over my last months new moon goals… they can stay in place, I have made some progress, yet don’t feel ready to say mission accomplished. There have been many twists to my day today. Tom left for Melbourne to catch an early flight back to Hamilton Island. Even though logically

Happy Days
My son came home for the weekend last night. He just gave me a hug and said “I love waking up here”. I can’t express how good that feels to me. I miss him so much that I can’t think about it anymore when he is away. When he is here it is a joy. He looks fabulously healthy and makes me laugh with the tales of his adventures. I wasn’t expecting him until today. His friends piled into the house shortly after he entered last night.  We all talked about how much we love him and I feel incredibly proud of him and the fun he brings to others. I know that were he to live here all the time, we probably wouldn’t be so endeared to one another. Having the
