Take your foot off the accelerator….

Or for those in the U.S. … off the gas!

Yesterday I was driving home from work. (I could probably walk. It would take me half an hour or so but in the afternoons, walking is the last thing I feel like). Anyway, as I was driving up one of the streets on my way home, I realised I was doing over the speed limit as I was in a hurry to get home.

Sharing the Beautiful Things

There is an ad on TV  right now by Twinings. It talks about hiding the beautiful things away for a special occasion and encourages us to stop waiting for the special occasion to arrive and use those things now.

Capturing Beauty

Yay! Summer Spring is here. Spring is my most favourite time of the year (apart from Autumn) but Mother Nature appears to be hormonal because we’re getting Summer temps and it’s only just turned Spring. Oh dear.

Wakey, Wakey, Rise and Shine

The Birds are Singing

My mother used to wake me in the mornings singing (somewhat slightly off-key) “Wakey, wakey, rise and shine. The sun is shining and the birds are singing…” as she pulled open my curtains and sometimes threw the dog on my bed.

Liebster Award – Made my Day

I was nominated for a Leibster Award by a beautiful mum with some amazing things to say at http://momof3isnuts.wordpress.com/

What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?

Ask any Kindy class the question “What do you want to be when you grow up?” and the answers will range from the sublime to the ridiculous. Young children have their whole lives ahead of them and their dreams are as high as they wish them to be. In their innocence, they believe that they can achieve anything.

This morning I danced… and I will again tomorrow

This morning I woke up feeling awesome. It is a gift and not something that I recall happening too much in the past few weeks. I went about my usual routine and spent some time watching the birds. There were quite a few about this morning despite the fog. They warbled, darted and squabbled in the still morning air. The forecast for today is that it is going to be quite hot (and it’s only the beginning of spring) but  the morning air was cool as it caressed my face. I thanked God for the blessing. Of course I couldn’t stand there forever as there were things to be done prior to going to work so I tore myself away and padded off to the kitchen.

Looking for the Blessings in Life

I am a creature of routine and habit (most of the time anyway). I have the same morning routine. I generally eat the same thing for lunch each day (until I feel like a change). I like to know what is going to happen during my day (although I’m working on ‘going with the flow’). I feel happy when I have a sense of order in my life. Unfortunately that doesn’t always go to plan, however that is a whole different blog post.
