A few days ago they were just a baby.

There they are.  Getting ready for school.  So small in structure to wear that 'big' school bag.  Admittedly we all know the bag gets grown into. By the time they finally fit it your child needs a new one the first one looks like it has gone through a demolision derby and now is ready to be either framed for the fame wall or scrapped as not worth putting another piece of tape or hold together glue, on it. So for the first bag wait off for a while and before you know it you will be anchiously waiting for them to grow into that new school bag. Besides - that childs independance is such a wonderful thing to gain. They have trouble gaining it if we, as caring parents- shove them into their oversized school bag and carry them to school. Believe me the temptation will be there. Enjoy these small pieceful emotion packed moments in time. Having waved good by, given them a fast cuddle [again] go and meet friends at a cafe. Have coffee time. Factor in and action plan that offici

Choose to be happy

You don't have to deserve happiness, you choose it.  It's natural, free and unconditional - if you let it happen. Annon.

Beer drinking

This is alarming... Beer contains female hormones! Yes, that's right,  FEMALE hormones! Last month, April 2009, Sydney University and scientists released the results of a recent analysis that revealed the presence of female hormones in beer. Men should take a concerned look at their beer consumption. The theory is that beer contains female hormones (hops contain Phytoestrogens) and that by drinking enough beer, men turn into women . To test the theory, 100 men each drank 8 schooners of beer within a one (1) hour period. It was then observed that 100% of the test subjects, yes, 100% of all these men:- 1) Argued over nothing. 2) Refused to apologize when obviously wrong. 3) Gained weight. 4) Talked excessively without making sense. 5) Became overly emotional 6) Couldn't drive. 7) Failed to think rationally, and 8) Had to sit down while urinating. No further testing was considered necessary!! Send this to the men you know to warn t

Vertical thrusts

Life makes things we attempt worth it. Keep going. Meet every problem as a challenge. When and if these challenges become toooo much have put into practice the ability to ask for help. One way to actucually achieve this is to stuff up along the way. That's what friends, family and a net work of strangers are there for. We all become the spider web that catches you on the down ways. Since the spiders webs are marvellous feats of natural engineering the springy resilience is terrific. Once regrouped the vertical thrust as we are pushed through and past our now insignificant challenges is a terrific adrenaline rush. Listen to the ecco of your fears past and the cheers as you go by.

Raise the voice and be heard.

Since the advent of communication methods in which the little persons voice to be heard has been eroded that now give an excuse for the willingness to hide and not use the God given gift for helping fellow man has taken a different path we all must unite and be heard for many sources.  Not one person can orchestrate every little bleat, fine tune every small out break of discontent or praise. Where some people are missionaries of communication others need to be servers of the word.  In other words every great voice needs support and encouragement to be heard. While young we copy and do. The dialogue, the written word and means of getting out there are learned through our close and intimate relationships patterns.  As a child we may be best narrator within our circles.  however the world has a say as to where this narrations gift may lead.  As an adult do we still have what it takes to be heard centuries later? "The human voice is the most important instrument at our disposal, y

Ego will be their downfall!

"A person who grows bloated by others' praise is a person who grows complacent in their failings.  That person's ego will be their downfall." I found this statement in an odd place.  Author is unknown as found that I had just jotted down the words.

What's a conscience?

Having a sense of what is right or wrong particularly with regard to you own actions and motives. Usually reinforced through gaining of subconscious faith  beliefs, ethics or morals which 'overpower' the primitive brains deep reflexes to situations.  When conscience has been triggered the initial reactions to situations are able to be overpowered.

Ask Q's and expect to question the answers.

I've been working through the Girl Guide organisation at a local level for over fifteen years. Yes the Girl and surprisingly their parents want more than after school programs. They want stability of mucking up their own programs and having adults around who know when and where the answers may be. Then they want our adult help before they muck things up again From this come the experience to know where and when same patterns may be occurring. When one tried and true thing does not work to fit it... any be that adult person knows some old trick to try in this new situation. And every things back on track again. Not a chance. These Girls want to find out how and why that thing worked. That's the difference  between our generations. Today people are to explore and ask questions why.  And each generation asks more questions.  The beauty of the Internet.

Just testing this out

Make the most of it.

Why is it that in a world where there seems to be not a lot of food to around people are not making the most of what they have actually got? Many people have the following: A small amount of space. More space than they know what to do with. Scape's of food that are able to be used as ... alternative recipes , compost , animal food . Stores of food items that someone else can use. Excess plant life in and around their home. Time. Spare clothes. To be disposed off ... why not recycle it ? An empty car seat as you are travel bound someplace. Knowledge and skills. Something to volunteer with. Alternative ways of doing something with something else. The list is just a sample of what there is out there that is spare and going to waste.  Why waste it? Seriously have a think and let me know what and where you too can share.  An idea that gets other people thinking is not a commitment to change. It may however be a cataylst to something else happening. Something that s

Reduce the stress you say

 Remove the stress or I take away your licence.  Famous words that you hear as your career path slams into a brick wall of determination.  The other person sees you are going down hill and gives an ultimatum that cannot be ignored.  A car licence is a must for a Taxi driver.  No licence no income. So with these famous words ringing in my ear I sulked about for a week.  Actually I just slept and slept and slept.  I had not had a decent night sleep for over three years.  Being literally on call for three years non stop night shift had began having weird effects.  Then strange things began happening.  Like having to chase car down hill as the handbrake did not work that day.  Great.  Had passengers in car too. The Doctors "reduce the stress" command came before a melt down  Boy was I lucky.  The exercise machines were in the lounge room.  I could peddle away and watch DVDs as my TV reception still is crap.  I watched DVDs for two weeks and really got board. Found you could
