A friend in Tagaytay

There’s a friend of a friend wherever you go. As mentioned in the last blog, we popped up to the Philippines, and loved it, even though there were 3 typhoons in the area and there was more water than I’ve ever seen, falling, and flooding, and fogging – generally obscuring the views. Good thing we…

100 Days of Gratitude – Day 100!!!

I’m grateful for the journey of this past 100 Days, and grateful for those who have shared the journey.  I’m grateful to Glenda for our conversation in Orange which kicked off this discipline, which has been good for me, and has impacted others.  I’m grateful that I can develop in my skills (adding photos and…

100 Days of Gratitude – Day 99

I’m grateful that I spent Day 99 in my hometown, celebrating the Cooee Festival, which commemorates the World War One recruitment march from Gilgandra to Sydney in 1915. In 1987 my dad was one of a group of men who re-enacted the march, from Gilgandra to Sydney, marching for 3 weeks. I’m grateful for the…

100 Days of Gratitude – Day 94

Today I’m happy to say that I’m grateful to have sent my completed book to the publisher.  I took the printed book down to Stephen’s Patisserie to read it and enjoy a great coffee and a different environment. Of course I found a few typo’s that have slipped past many proofreaders eyes, so I came…

100 Days of Gratitude – Day 87

I’m grateful for two key people today – firstly my mum, who called early this morning as Dad was bringing sheep down to Dubbo.  She offered to help in any way, and wanted to read some of my book.  I was editing all day, technically just adding quotes, but we kept finding typo’s that have…

100 Days of Gratitude – Day 83

Today I am grateful for fresh perspectives.  I have really appreciated being able to bounce some ideas with some people, and tonight Lyndon’s parents came over and I shared with them a couple of ideas, without giving away my opinion.  This gave me the opportunity to see what they thought, and their answers surprised me. …
