Magpies. They’re definitely not helping me overcome my paralysing fear of birds. I now walk under the protective shield of my umbrella whenever I am in magpie territory. I think passers by may think I’m a bit of a weirdie??
And you thought your parents were overprotective…
There is nothing better than the feeling of going home after months spent far far away. What could be sweeter than sitting around the kitchen table eating you mum’s cooking, drinking your dads amazing coffee (no one makes it quite like he does) and watching your little brother laugh with his beautiful wife and his equally beautiful son? I am blessed.
I want to jump and spin and dance and sing!!! That is all.
I’ve wronged a friend, and for this friend forgiveness is not something that can be dealt out instantaneously. I know this about her, and knowing this makes me regret very much what I’ve done…
Knowing I’m in the wrong, swallowing my pride and asking for forgiveness, then having to wait patiently for a friend to forgive is such a frustrating thing! I know I will feel absolutely guilt ridden until she sets me free by forgiving me!
I hear a goldfish has a three second memory. When it comes to forgiving people, I’m like a goldfish. You apologise, I forgive you, and I forget it ever happened. I have to remind myself that not everyone is the same….
When I think of you I see country roads Not freeways or boulevards Not fancy royal gardens But dusty backyards
When I think of you I see your grandma’s house Not a mansion with marble floors Just a simple sunny place With old screen doors
When I think of you I think of kindness Honesty and grace No make-up or perfume Just a smile on your pretty face
When I think of you I hear music Not symphonies or brass bands But voices and guitars Played by calloused hands
When I think of you I think of lemonade Not sherry or champagne Not perfect chinaware Something chipped and plain
When I think of you I see kitchens No parlours or ballrooms No butlers and chambermaids I see aprons and brooms
When I think of you I think of turquoise And not diamonds and pearls Not bright lights and city ladies But sunsets and hometown girls
When I think of you I think of walking Not private planes or limousines Not high heels and satin gowns But sandals and faded jeans
Eric Bibb you’re my hero of the day for writing this song…. lovelovelove!
Bethel live, here is love = awesome awesome awesome..
The Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has stepped down today. This means that Australia now has its first female Prime Minister, Julia Gillard…
Politics hey?
Today, I resigned from my job. Resigning is something that is not in the least bit foreign to me! In the five and a half years that I have been out of school I have resigned a grand total of eight times. I have the resignation spiel (and it’s delivery) down pat!
I can’t help noticing that it would appear I don’t like routine and I can’t stick to things for extended periods of time.
Some Friday fun facts:
Longest time spent in one job? One year seven months.
Number of cities I’ve lived in over the last five years? Four.
Number of times I have moved house in the last five years? Nine.
Number of jobs I’ve had in the past five years? Nine.
So… What the hell am I running from?!
