Long time no see...

Yes I know... long time no see.... Not that its much of an excuse but I have been really busy. I was planing on having 3 weeks off over Christmas but it turned out to be only 3 days. While it was frustrating I also can see the benefits in the work that I did during that time... but I am no soooo tired! I am now thinking of another overseas holiday for later on this year... although not as long as the last one!

Even though I think there are only a couple of people that read my blog I thought I should keep it going... if not just for my own benefit! Its nice to put things into writing at times...

I'm in a bit of a reflective mood tonight, actually I have been in it for a while now. I've just come back from a great night having coffee with a friend... and some of the things she said has continued my "reflection". Those that know me know that I tend to think too much... but lately I would have to say that that isn't a bad thing. I was chatting with a friend on MSN the other night and I wrote the following "I just see life flying past me and I'm not a passenger... I'm someone stuck on the side of the road... and I'm not even putting my thumb out to catch a lift!" Its was a pretty descriptive way of expressing how I had and was feeling at that moment. Its so easy to let life just pass us by and not take advantage of opportunities that arise.

The other week I was thinking of how many missed opportunities I have had over the last few years... and I'd hate to think of how many missed opportunities I've had over the last 35 years! Opportunities in new work, love, travel, life experiences... I haven't let them all slip by... but perhaps a few too many!

I really want to get myself back behind the driving wheel of my live… and set some sort of direction… but as with any course plotting its hard to set a direction if you don’t know exactly where you want to head… so over the next few months I think I need to start thinking about what I want to get out of the next stage in my life and plot a course… cause if I don’t I wont go anywhere…

Hmmm… I’m just rambling tonight… sorry… thankfully there is only a handful of readers!

On a happier note, Bella and Charlie have settled in well with each other… as I write they are playing a game of chasse… pretty much the same as Max and Charlie use to. It brings such a smile to my face to see them playing with each other. Today I took them both to the Vet to get their Feline AIDS vaccinations… its so expensive to be a pet owner… but very rewarding. Its nice to come home to two welcoming faces, even if its only for food. Hopefully one day soon there will be a human face at the door when I get home.



Well I’m off to bed… Judging by what I have written I should have gone to bed 30min ago… Just above is a picture of Bella that I took the other day. I put up some of the other photos I have taken over the last month or so sometime soon.

Bye Bye for now…
