Floods

Wow, what a few days it has been here in Australia. Flooding on one end of the country and bushfires on the other. I have spent the last 48 hours madly trying to make contact with all my friends in Qld. I loved there for 7 years so I know so many of the places that are lost and ruined. I was so happy this morning to hear from the last person I have been trying to contact. All are safe and well. Some property damage, but no injuries or lives lost and that is the main thing. When I got that last contact this morning I broke down.  The relief was overwhelming.

I am doing what I can to help, but like so many of us who are far away we feel helpless.  The lovely Lucky over at Stitch Selection is doing a Huggles Drive – Huggles are soft toys for kids.  As soon as I get home from Camp next week I am going to get sewing. It may not be much but it is something.

I would love to hear how others are helping out.

Question Day

1) What is your best childhood memory?
2) If you had 1 hour to evacuate, what would you pack up to take?

3) What foods do you dislike?

Lately I have been seeing on blogs Summer To-Do lists and Summer Goals.  I have decided to make a To-Do list - I am veering away from the word 'goals' at the moment for some reason.  So I have come up with a list of 10 things I would like 'To-Do' this summer.

Summer To-Do List

2)  Finish Couch quilts

3)  Lose 12 kilos

4)  Ride 50kms in one day

5)  Ride a total of 1000kms

6)  Start Yoga

7)  Start cat stitcheries

8)  Send another childrens book to a publisher

9)  Take more photos for my cards

10)  Push my World’s Greatest Shave Fundraising and get as much as I can towards my goal of $5000

The plan is to work through these items without too much stress, and just try and get as much done as I can.

2)  Have you done anything spontaneous lately?

100 Days of Gratitude - Day 10

Today I am grateful for my hair. Since I have started telling people about doing the Worlds Greatest Shave I have been hearing amazing stories of people suffering with Leukaemia and losing their hair. So I am grateful that I have the choice to do this.

Question Day

Yes, today is question day, but I have a few things I want to say first. :o)

Last night we went up to the Hills for our monthly dinner with the Paranormal Group.  As usual, it was a great night. Lots of lively and interesting conversations, lots of laughter, and as always, great food.

Last night I learned something about myself.  I was chatting with C about all things spiritual, and we got to talking abut objects holding energy.  I mentioned that I can't wear used or estate jewelery because I often pick up energies from those who have worn them before.  She asked if I can hold someone's jewelery and get a sense of that person.  I said I have never tried it.

So she gave me her ring to hold.  Almost immediately I get a real tightness in my chest and a real sense of dread.  Dread is a weird word, but is the only way I know how to describe it.  Turns out C is going through a break up and is feeling dread and it is manifesting as chest pain.  Very very bizarre.

So now I am intrigued.  I have heard of people being able to do this.  In fact, the psychic I sometimes see holds a piece of your jewelery to connect with you, but I never knew I could do this.  I mean, I knew I picked up energies from old jewelery, but I never thought that could translate to this.

I was completely freaked out last night, but now I want to see if this is something I can develop.  Who knows.  Maybe last night was a one off thing, but I am definitely keen to find out.  :o)

The rest of the night was mainly me listening to everyone else talk, which is usually the way.  I do feel like I take a lot from these dinners, but don't tend to contribute a great deal.  Hopefully that will change though.

Our meals took ages to come out last night for some reason. When they finally did the first lot had to go back. The reason? A possum piddled from the tree above us and caught the waiter square on, with the splash landing right into the meals he was holding!  It was the absolute funniest thing. I can just imagine the chef's reaction when the waiter took the meals back - "Are you serious? A possum pee'd in the meals? You expect me to believe that?" LOL

Hi All

As any of you who read this regularly know, Ross's Grandad's health started declining rapidly about 3 months ago.  He lived with us for about 6 weeks, and has been in a Nursing home for about 6-8 weeks.  Yesterday afternoon he passed away quickly and quietly.

In that vein, my questions are a bit different today.  I understand if you choose not to answer.

1)  Have you lost someone close to you?
2)  Do you think funerals are important?
3)  What are your thoughts on children attending funerals?
4)  How do you honour the memory of passed loved ones?

New Groups and Question Day

I had an awesome night last night, although I am well and truly exhausted today.  It was an incredibly late night for me, and we were one of the first ones to leave!  We got there dead on 7, and I didn't want to be one of the first ones there so I made Ross wait in the car with me for 10 minutes or so.  I was so nervous.  I actually said to Ross while we were in the car that we should turn around and go home, but he wouldn't let me.  :o)

So we made our way in, found the group right away (from the telltale E.T. DVD sitting on the table which is their 'call sign' to new members) and felt right at home right away.  Everyone was so friendly and we had people to talk to all night.  I came away exhausted but happy, and hope that we can get there for next months catch up as well.

So, on to Question Day

1) If food had no calories or fat what would your favorite dessert be?
2) Did you ever have anything stolen from you?? Did you get it back? 3) What was the last film you saw at the cinema? 
4) Do you always wear your seat belt? 
5) What do you do to make your water more appetizing?

Daily Goals

1) Try and stay awake for the whole work day

2) Drink water

3) Do NOT buy chocolate

4) Actually tidy my desk today

5) Try and stay awake (yes I know I said that twice, but I feel it needs reinforcing.

Daily Tarot

Page of Wands

The Page of Wands indicates creative restlessness, pent up energy, and perhaps some frustration.  She has passion and desire, but she isn't quite sure how to put it to good use.  This is someone on the verge of a discovery or a new phase of life. The Page also represents messages, in this case something possibly about career, travel, or even something spiritual.
