I’ve lost all of my interests at the moment. But I’m ok with it. We had a bit of a crap weekend here. Nothing major went wrong per se, just some bleh feelings and maintenance stuff that needed to happen. At one point we were out for a little while, walking, talking and driving and […]

My Thoughts About Words Of The Year
I don’t know if I believe in choosing your word for the year in January. It’s so hard to know what is practical & what will happen & if it will even have any meaning in a month or two. But maybe this is why I shouldn’t think when I’m tired. For weeks I’ve […]
Appreciation
As a somewhat sarcastic person, I find things like appreciation or gratitude hard to write about. It doesn’t mean I don’t feel them, but I don’t feel entrely comfortable expressing them the way others bloggers may do. Appreciation Doctors I very much appreciate that my doctor took the time to really talk […]
My Morning Routine
If you’ve ever followed me on social media, you’ve probably seen me complain about commuting. In my own defense, that’s ok, because I’ve had nearly a 3 hour commute daily for MANY MANY years. My Morning Routine For me, mornings start early. That’s because train station car parks fill up early. Over […]
The Acceptance Myth
If you believe the fluffy type of posts you see on Pinterest, accepting yourself is the key to all salvation. Or something. If you accept who you are, you will be happy. If you accept that you can’t change others, that you can’t stop the sun from spinning etc… happy. Right? The Acceptance Myth […]
My Word for 2016
I was walking through a shopping centre, heading for the toilet block. (Why am I telling you this? Because ideas don’t come at glamorous times. They come while living life. A self retreat & all that Pinterest worthy stuff is great, and can help, but it’s not the only way things can happen.) I […]
My Worst Habit
Introspection central! Fair warning 🙂 My Worst Habit Others can probably see our own worst habits easier than we can. Or maybe we just like to hide our worst things from ourselves because that way we don’t have to think about changing them. Either way, like most problems (if you can […]
My Biggest Roadblock
My Biggest Roadblock Right now, me. I feel off-balance. But then, everything has been off-balanced for a month or so. Being run down, Ben being in hospital a few times, having lots of tests, in peak period at work, uni work due…I don’t want to say I’ve been struggling but something has also […]
Do We Make Things Harder Than They Really Are?
Do We Make Things Harder Than They Really Are? This is something I’ve been wondering for a while now. I know, I have a problem with getting frustrated about the pace of my life and then taking on too much, and then burning out. I totally will not mention right now the new blog […]
The Best Advice For Life
I like this weeks prompt for I Must Confess. And it’s a simple one, too. The Best Advice For Life The best advice I was ever given was from my grade 11 & 12 legal studies teacher. I don’t know why we were on the topic, but one day my teacher said that […]
