Time flies

 

Well today time flew! It just goes doesn't it, and once it has we can never relive those particular moments again.

Well at least I achieved a few things that needed to be done.

 

At the moment I have put myself on annual leave - I am not actually on holidays, but what I am doing, is for the next four weeks or so I am only going to do the things I need to do like work and my regular commitments. I am resisting the temptation to fill in every day, with what are mostly worthwhile things, so that I am getting through my stuff without making my day finish at midnight. An interesting exercise! I have toyed with the idea of turning my 'annual leave' into 'long service leave' and my friend Sandi said that is fine as long as I don't retire!!! I can tell you this much, I am enjoying it so far and not feeling guilty.

 

How to balance out life is a question that is always on my mind. One thing for sure is that I need to do it! We must look after ourselves before we look after others. Also we should look after others but not at our expense otherwise there will be nothing left to give and when we do it won't be giving with joy...

 

Until next time...

Why write it?

Well its a long story really but I will make it short. I love writing, it comes naturally to me and always has. Back in my High School days, in the middle of an exam I remember writing a letter to my friend, she always reminds me of this and encouraged my writing. I always wrote my feelings down and that seemed to help when times were tough.

I wrote poems, songs, thoughts, revelations, stories, and something that was really helpful was writing letters to God. You know, 'Dear God, This is how I am feeling today please help me!' or 'Dear God, this is what is going on in my life'.

I never really took much notice of the fact that I did this, sometimes our greatest gifts are right under our noses, or in my case, at my fingertips! Anyway years later I finally recognised that this is a gift to be able to get it all down on paper or on my laptop as the case often is, and make some sense of things and realise the marvelous things I am learning and how I am changing and growing each day

So nowadays I write everything. I make notes and then write it as soon as I can. Life is full of learning experiences and our lessons can help others. It seems that God shows me a new perspective on things and I just write it down. In February 2003, I made a big step and made an email group, which now totals about 100 different people, friends, family and other connections and I send a once a month email. I get great feedback and the writing of them come with no effort whatsoever. It is called 'Light For Life', but perhaps I will leave that for another time as it is a BLOG in itself. Until next time...

Learning to Blog!

Well this is my first time to www.blogger.com and I have decided to become a member. I had never heard of this before really but it was mentioned in a book I was reading. Being a bit of a writer I decided to have a go and here I am!

Much to learn I think. Have wanted to have my own web site one day and perhaps this could be the start of it.
