Time goes by

Here we are again, another Friday. Isn't it amazing how time is flying, nearly the end of July already. Although I have to say I'm feeling a bit like a broken record saying that, but it truly amazes me all the time. I was just reading on gary's blog today about a similar time flying feeling & thought well at least its not just me.

You should read it, its gets you thinking about the perception of time going quicker as we get older. I often wonder does it slow down again later in life as we retire & slow down physically?

I read on another persons blog about her grandfather who is 96 & fit & well & as she says as sharp as anything. I wonder what his perceptions of time are?

I think it makes me think of 'why are we here'? type questions. Whats the whole scheme of things that we were put on this planet for. The bigger scheme I suppose i mean. we can get drawn into our own little lives & little trivialities that they get out of proportionately big & important to us.

Case in point , my husband had a really bad dream the other night that I was knocked down (God forbid) and died and it was on his mind all day & he was really lovey dovey with me that day(well more than usual) & when I asked him why he explained about the dream & said 'it kindda makes the little things not so important anymore & I'm just happy to have you' I guess it made him stop & think & be grateful for the things he does have in life

So I suppose my thought for today is to maybe stop & think about all the great things in your life & be grateful for them, really grateful for them. The worries will still be there tomorrow so worry about them then. Give yourself a break today.

Anyway on that note I hope you all have a great weekend. :o)

Autumn

Well autumn finally hit Sydney yesterday, it rained a lot during the night, I was lucky enough not to get caught yesterday. Not so lucky this morning though. I was about 10 steps out of my apt on the way to the train & it started, oh the joy! At least I did have my umbrella, I was thankful for small mercies I have to say cos its normally on a day like that that I don't have it & get into work looking like a drowned rat....very attractive!......not.

But other than that its actually been a good day, ok I'm flat out busy in work the past two days but I much prefer being busy I have to say, time definitely goes quicker.

Its been a bit chillier too, I've been getting out the heavier jumpers & cardigans to put on. I'm like, is it not time to turn the A/C down in the office yet? or up? you know what I mean make it warmer in here.

Life's been tripping along quite ok for the most part recently, I'm getting so excited about the trip home. Have i mentioned that before ? not sure. Well we're heading home for 3 weeks in May for a wedding, but also to see everyone. Its the longest I've been totally away from home... ever. It'll be nearly 2 years since living there. Home is Ireland by the way, so its going to take something like 22 hours flying to get there, soooooo not looking forward to that.

But it'll be so great seeing everyone, all my friends & family, I'm quite close to a lot of my family on my Mum's side, don't really know any on my Dad's side at all, then there are my brothers & sisters to visit & also Shane's (hubbie) family to visit so its going to be a hectic 3 weeks but hopefully all will go well.

Oh I know I haven't mentioned them in ages but my tomato plants are coming along nicely, very proud of me. Normally things die on me. alot!

So hope you all have a great day.
