July 1, 2010 How much do I love the chance to make another resolution I won’t fulfill or a deadline that I’ll never meet. I’m the queen of making promises, looking to make a clean sweep that is lost and forgotten after a few days. Maybe I’m complacent, a procrastinator or just not motivated enough.

March 22, 2010 I have a feeling I wish I could explain
I try to spirit it away with logical reasons
that seem all too indulgent-
I’m plagued by first world problems
Deadline season-
an overwhelming sense of obligation-
Not enough time to exercise
But my choice of social engagements
Too much good food and too few green leafy vegetables
Over stimulated and over consuming
of every moment, every opportunity
Are the simple moments passing me by too swiftly
with barely a whimper

October 14, 2009 I have thought about shutting down my blog, or just keeping it here as a record- but over the last few weeks, I’ve been feeling the need to post.
I have not had that feeling for a while- I blame a number of things, not that I want to discuss them all in detail: twitter, an ongoing battle with depression, life changes in my extended family and friends. I’ve not wanted to discuss them in a public forum, or elude to them in hushed tones.
Over the last few weeks, I have been feeling slightly better. So I have begun to look at a shift in priorities, the support of new friends and the input of new ideas helps. As does the kind words of more established friends- even if they are not so sure where I am going with this.
So no obligation, no promises, no timetable, no arbitrary goals- but it’s time to begin a shift in priorities.

January 15, 2009 As I said in last week’s post, I’m setting myself little challenges. Things that are achievable, not too overwhelming.
Some I’m meeting, some I’m working on, others I’m grateful for obligation (4 hours of training a week 
).
To start I’ve redesigned my blog. After about 2 years- I have finally redesigned my blog. For so long I’ve been using a generic template because I just couldn’t do what I wanted. It’s not exactly what I wanted, but it’s close and I’m happy with myself because I’ve persevered. Read the rest of this entry »

January 8, 2009 2008 was a bit of a roller coaster for me: I lost my Grandpy, had a chance at a writing contract, saw my best friend get married, found going back to the classroom difficult and continued to struggle with personal issues of health and fitness, fertility and depression.
Because of this I seem to have neglected many of things that make me happy- photography, writing and webstuff, spending time with friends.
Even as I headed into holidays there were so many things I wanted that I just haven’t got to, because of Christmas and illness- sewing, photos, movies.
So, I’m passing on resolutions. To be honest, I hate resolutions because the become a year end reminder of what I haven’t achieved.I’m going to put more thought and time into doing something more concrete, just not right now.
Instead, I’m looking for little challenges in 2009

December 4, 2008 Summer’s here, the holidays are close, Christmas is becoming more familiar.
Meanwhile, I haven’t updated in a month. A friend/ reader says I need to update.
I have ideas, but they are all crap. And today I woke up with pinkeye.
Sorry not so thrilling.
Maybe later

November 4, 2008 It was all meant to be so good- we’ve celebrated Franki and Carl’s wedding- it was such a gorgeous and relaxed wedding. She’s truly a beautiful bride.

September 14, 2008 Maybe I shouldn’t use my blog to bitch about work, but to be honest- I don’t think I’ve got a lot left to lose. As we speak I’m probably being considered incompetent and unprofessional because files that left complete when I went on secondment are now allegedly incomplete.
I found this out after a phone call from work at 11am on a Sunday. Read the rest of this entry »
