As I’ve posted in my monthly updates, my Word Of The Year – Happiness – has been showing up often during 2022. I’ve really been feeling that this is the perfect word for me for 2022. However, the past week has been a struggle, making me realise how quickly happiness can fly out the window. […]
Time To Declutter
Lately, I’ve been feeling swamped by ‘stuff’, and I absolutely hate stuff. I’m a believer that if you are surrounded by stuff, then your brain just does not operate effectively. Well mine certainly doesn’t. I really can’t function properly when the stuff takes over. In 2006, when I moved to Bendigo without having time to […]
Christmas Book Corner #whatsonyourbookshelf
I decided to read Christmas books only in December. That was the plan, but after I’d read five, I’d had enough, even though I did enjoy them. The books that I chose were great, but I was hanging out to read about something other than Christmas. At work, we have the same Christmas Carols […]

Updating June 2021
FITNESS June was a great month of fitness for me. For the first time in a long while everything seemed to turn out the way I’d planned. As a explained recently, when I wrote about Goals and Planning, I had set a few fitness goals for June. Fortunately I was able to tick off all […]
March 2021 Highlights
Firstly, a quick update on my broken arm. It’s mended really well, and last week, I was given the go ahead, by the physio, to drive. That was exciting! I’ve been having physio weekly, and each time had to do a strength test. I was told there would be no driving until I passed this […]
Heroic Young Man Saves 83 People
When I saw that the prompt for Life This Week was Heroic, my first thought went to a distant cousin of mine, who I would say was very heroic. I have written about him on my family history blog, and I rarely share posts between blogs. However, I have decided to tell you about “Bossy” […]
