Life has been building up to the Chaos of Christmas. The joys of the holidays have not been a deterrent to the criminals in the bay however. Or maybe the holidays were the impetus? The need for festive cash? Or maybe there are some humans who are nasty year round as there was an attack …

Grateful
I had a bit of an emotional, sad slump recently and to try and redirect my thinking in a more positive direction I decided to do a "30 days of Gratitude" exercise by doing a daily post on Facebook of some of the many reasons I have to be grateful. I've done this before (that …
Cockroaches & Criminals
This week was supposed to be the last at our client but we were asked to include integration into production so we had to extend our design and we are now running into 2 more days of work next week. Today I did my final slides for delivery, and sent out my document for review. …
The Evolution of a Hermit
This has been a week of great sadness and tragedy interspersed with brief moments of happiness. Norm was away on business from Sunday afternoon until late Monday night when Caitlin was kind enough to go and collect him from the airport.

We had a bit of a break from rain over this past weekend but it has started again on and off as we roll into the work week. As much as we need the rain to top up our thirsty drought ridden dams, it was nice to see a bit of blue sky when I …
Hardly Strong
I was watching a series this week where a mother and daughter were having a bit of a disagreement and the mother said to the daughter 'You think you are so strong, but it only comes off as hard.' I have heard this myself many times, I know that I am strong. I am also …
The Little Engine
Inevitably every time Norm travels there is a drama at home. I almost anticipate it happening and I wonder am I actually generating some of this energy with my thought processes? And each time there is a drama I begin my mantra of 'I can't cope'. Saying this over and over in my head almost …
The Fear of Loneliness
The fear of loneliness can be a motivator behind many decisions made by some people. Irrational sometimes to outsiders, these decisions can result in constraints to the lives of some and heartbreak to others. People settle for people they do not love, or stay in relationships with people they do not love rather than risk …
