New addition

After a long day tending to my chidren, both of whom are sick with Gastro - you know it is Gastro, I think, when the washing machine has been going for 2 days non-stop!!!! and there is a lingering acidic aroma to your home sweet home, I spoke to my younger cousin who is now mummy to 2. It was quite literally a perfect moment as the Skype camera zoomed in and I was able to look at his every feature as if he were in my arms..Life is miraculous..It really is..

Bridging the gap

I think I might look back at this blog in time to come and come to understand that it played a big part in where I am heading. My head is full of stuff, ideas, emotions, opinions, life experiences, stories, captured moments and I want to create something out of it..I still have no idea what though. In a way, this is the diary I never started.

Not what you think..

Anyone reading my posts is likely to think I am a pretty negative person. Truth be known, I am quite the opposite. I love life, I love people, I love challenges and the lessons we draw from them. Well, maybe I love challenges more with hindsight. In any case, I am not one to shy away from difficulties. But, like all people from different walks of life, I need a helping hand. Moving to Australia has left me feeling displaced and lonely and of course, hankering over the life and more importantly, the people I left behind but I am determined to find my place here and carve out a new and fulfilling and purposeful life..

A good feeling

Do you ever feel like there is so much more out there for you to do and discover, more people to converse with, more stuff to learn? I am definitely having one of those moments this evening..Busily reading different articles, checking out new and exciting blogs, thinking about what the next step might be..Still a blank canvas but a canvas nevertheless..

Ache

I woke up aching this morning..Not the kind of ache you would associate with the Flu and fix with a double dose of Nurofen. Homesick is what I feel today. I have got on with my day, I have put on a brave face and naturally I have told anyone that has asked how I am feeling that I am OK. Well, what else am I going to tell them? Who wants to listen to the outsider anyway? I have at least admitted it to you..
