Living Life.

Hello there to all.

Thanks for the comment left by Bruise Mouse because it has got me writing again.

Busy - yes I have been busy but it is a different type of busy. I have been focusing on learning about my health and what I can do to improve it.

I have been busy also with focusing on my relationship with my husband. It's working and it's good.

I have also jumped in and started painting. I joined  the local  "Tiaro Creative Arts Group" last year. I have pussy footed around not really doing anything. Well I went on a camping trip for a few days at the beginning of last week and I did paint. I broke the ice. I am going to find time and paint again this weekend. I had such a lovely time with a wonderful group of ladies. More on that later.

I was also feeling very empty in some respects because I like all of the things I do but I also love to go dancing and go out and stay up all night and even though I do not want to do it all of the time now - actually I simply couldn't do it all of the time - well I have been out lately a few times. I have put back into my life some of the things I really enjoy.

Things I have been up to.

Alex's Christening

Love to you all,

Being Appreciative......

"One home which I can continually make more efficient, one chunk of land which I can build up towards my edible Eden, one particular ecosystem which I can come ever closer to knowing." This is a few words out of a post I read today  on the blog Apron Stringz.  -  Truly Green Investment - by Apron Stringz

Wow is what I can say to this. It just resonated with me so deeply. I am so lucky to be where I am living and in the position of being in my own home and on my own land. It is so easy to get side tracked into thinking that somehow or other I am missing out on something else and the inevitable itchy feet itch like crazy. My Dad said to me that the most important thing we can do to get ahead in our lives is to put down roots. To stay in one place. I have always moved around so much and if it wasn't moving house it was moving jobs. I am learning the art of staying in one place. I still want to travel and see this wonderful country but I really do appreciate what I have here.

Photos of the sky taken on my phone camera. All on the same day at the same place on the beach.

This is the sun. Looks like a huge eye in the sky.

It's great to be back writing again. I have not stopped reading everyone else though.

Cheers, Wendy
