o0o Its been a wild ride for the last few weeks, and a ride that I’m still in the midst of, and I’ve gotta say – that some of it I’m not lovin’ so much!! I’d been starting to ‘spiral’ a bit after I last posted, but then a series of events happened […]
o0o It’s been a while since my last post (about 6 weeks or so), and I apologize if you’ve missed me – although it is the season for most people of busy-ness and stress – so it’s probably the case that you haven’t even noticed I haven’t been around…! :)) In days blog, I’m […]
o0o I’m sooooooo PROUD of My Love right now!! Its been something that I have tried for, asked for, and wanted for over a decade – and last week it finally happened.
o0o SO…here I am once again sitting at the airport, waiting to get on a flight and I’m southbound again to go and help with tidying up yet more affairs of my deceased Mumma and her very-much-alive Hubby (TnT) – who is now in Aged Care. Its been a pretty stressful time for the […]
o0o Well the poor counsellor probably needed a bex and a lie-down after she had finished her first hour with me the other day! It was pretty much like shaking up a coke bottle then flipping off the lid. A whole damn lot of built-up stuff just came spewing forth filling up every spare space […]
o0o I broke. Plain and simple – i broke… This past fortnight – my mind just couldn’t keep itself together anymore, and i broke… I went to the Doctor back before we went to New Zealand, just for a general annual checkup; and when we were finishing up, I told him that there was […]
o0o Breathe. You’re going to be okay.
o0o Recently – I have felt myself spiraling in panic. This is not a ‘new’ sensation for me. When parts of my life are not running smoothly and for some reason,
o0o A year ago today my heart shattered into a million little pieces… As is usual for anyone when grieving, I felt like I would never be free of the feeling of total and utter devastation that I was going through. A year ago, I was heartbroken and a chunk had been ripped […]
o0o Sometimes, no matter how hard you try, a bad relationship – or some of the elements of a bad relationship – follow you through life… My Father had a bad relationship with alcohol. When he was alive, I don’t recall a time when I ever thought my Father was an alcoholic – after […]
This morning started in the way no Mothers ever want it to. A missed call on my phone before 7am, and a voice message. Checked the voice message, and it was someone I didn’t know, telling us that our second youngest son had been in a motorbike accident. He had been on his […]
Ready to cheer me on? I told you a week or two ago in the smoking gun post, that I was going to do it – and now here I am!! As of last night – I am a non-smoker. A former smoker, an ex-smoker – call it what you will. But as […]
. The fact that you’re struggling doesn’t make you a burden. It doesn’t make you unlovable or undesirable or undeserving of care. It doesn’t make you too much or too sensitive or too needy…It makes you human. Everyone struggles. Everyone has a difficult time coping, and at times, we all fall apart. During these times, […]
. There has (rightfully!!) been a lot going on in the media of late – about bullying, which has been particularly spurred on by the tragic suicide of a young country girl, after being horrifically bullied by her peers. Also in the media of late – there has much much to-do about one of our […]
. Today is different. Today I got out of bed quite well rested. I had a really decent sleep last night, because it rained through the night, and i always sleep soooo much better when it rains. I have also taken a fortnight off work – which actually winds up being 18 days – […]
. Most of my life has been spent trying to shrink myself. Trying to become smaller. Quieter. Less sensitive. Less opinionated. Less needy.
. I’ve been a bit remiss with writing, I know, but I’ve needed some ‘me’ time, and some healing time… The rehoming of Digby hit me – HARD – and still does some days, but its thankfully getting less intense with each day – and I can now at least
. I had always imagined that this was always going to be a really special year. Grandma & Grumpa would be 90, Uncle John 60, me 50, You 30, Rian 25 and Tom 21. Amazing landmarks for our Family, worthy of awesome celebration. But that wasn’t to be…. I had 15 years with you, […]
. 31 days, and I’ll be HOME. It isn’t where we live, but it’s where I feel I belong. It’s the place I want to make our home. When I get off the plane, even though we’ve still got a couple of hours drive ahead of us, I feel like I just want to cry, […]
. It’s been a bit of a long difficult week… It’s 11 days ciggie free, which has been nice. And the breathing has been soooo much better!! Actually, I don’t recall any time in the last week or so, that I’ve really been all that breathless – and that includes getting ready for work. I […]
