![]() ![]() ![]()  Good Morning Lovely Ladies
Getting in early. Had a lovely night at home. BBQ dinner with DH, DS21 and his GF and DD16.
Today I have a very quiet day planned at home alone. DH heading to work, kids heading to golf. I might head back to bed, lol.
Wishing you a Terrific Thursday and a Wonderful and Peaceful 2015 xoxo

Hi everyone! Happy New Year!
Any resolutions?
One of mine is to have courage to find my way amongst the sometimes subtle pressures and often less subtle demands of others.
I know I need to lose weight and my DSiL has been a terrific inspiration - 30kgs lighter in 2014 and so fit and healthy! I have also enjoyed your posts on this and sharing your successes. As a feminist, I think we are worthy whatever shape or size and need to broaden concepts of beauty, but I also need to address my health (generally very good so I can keep my head in the sand) and genetics (parent and grandparent with Type 2 diabetes).
Another is to be calm and create a sense of peace. I love a quote from Maya Angelou that I found: "Success is liking yourself; liking what you do; and liking how you do it." I want to focus more on 'how I do it'. Still trying so hard to move with grace through the challenges of this world. I'm not sure I like myself; I like some of what I do; but I really want to be mindful of 'how' - rather than the headless chicken, I want to 'go placidly'.
But in going placidly, I loop back to having courage. Must remember courage - to do what I can and to accept what I can't, but not to let my gifts and talents be taken over by others.
Enough deep and meaningful attempts for me.
Today is packing for a surprise week away. DH managed to get some holidays and I have negotiated to "work from home" meaning "work from the beach" - can't complain there! I also want to finish my office so it smiles at me on my return. Then it's baking for DMiL. I usually make caramel slice for her and it's a bit of a tradition. It's very hot here, though, and I'm not relishing cooking - if it gets too hot, I'll postpone that to very early tomorrow morning.
Last night was lovely. DCiL came over and we had pasta carbonara (first time cooking for me and another of my almost endless Christmas ham leftover recipes) and it worked. I also held my commitment to making a salad. We then played a Zombie card game with the kids - very fun - and after they went to bed watched The Expendables 3 - just the sort of candy, exciting fluff I needed.
So, onwards and upwards.
Wishing you my very best for the year ahead.

Hello everyone! happy new year & may 2015 be a happy, safe, healthy, prosperous, FLYing year for all of us.  I too would like to say thank you to you all for your company, support, encouragement & laughs this year.  2014 wasn't a good year for me in a lot of ways, I'm determined to make 2015 better. That said, my new year is already off to an 'interesting' start, my car died yesterday. Seriously?! so that changes my plans for January already!  (I refuse use to go down on the first day, that's not gonna happen.) anyway an otherwise quiet day here, I'm working out a new zone plan & some goals. have a great afternoon everybody  |
