Life isn’t all Sunshine and Rainbows

As much as I’d like to say that life is filled with sunshine and rainbows, I can’t in all honesty look you in the eye and lie.
Life sucks sometimes.
Yes, the sunshine and rainbows are there. They are always there. However in the midst of our search to find them, we have to part the rain and storm clouds to get there.
Some wonderful politician in an attempt to relate to the general public, once pontificated that “Life wasn’t meant to be easy”.
Well if that’s not truth from a pollie, I don’t know what is.

Of Rainbows, Unicorns and Happily Ever After

Don’t you just wish that my title summed up life?
I know I do and more often than I care to admit.
Yet if there is one thing that I have learned over the past months and weeks is that any ‘happily ever after’ is entirely up to me!
That’s right.
Me!!!!!
Kinda puts a lot of responsibility on a gal you know?
Having the sole responsibility for my own happiness is a big deal.

Let the sunshine in

“Let the sun shine in

Face it with a grin

Open up your heart

and let the sun shine in”

(Stuart Hamblin)

My hope for you all today is that you begin to see some light at the end of the tunnel or filtering through the trees that are blocking your way. Keep putting one foot in front of the other.

Blessings to you all 🙂

Wet Washing….

“Wet washing hanging on the line

Drying very quickly when the weather’s fine

Along comes the wind and blows them all about

Flip, flap, flip, flap blowing in and out”

(children’s song from Play School)

Blogging Awards – I must be doing something right!

In the past two weeks, I have been the recipient of three awards. Wow! I’m gobsmacked that you all enjoy my words so much. I want to display these awards in my sidebar but haven’t worked out how to do it yet. If someone can give me an ‘idiot’s guide’ I would be indebted. I can’t give you my first born (mainly because she’s taller than me now) but I can give you my gratitude.

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.
