Life
Conversations heard
Well I am sitting in a cafe on the campus of the University of Queensland, where I have come for an interview for a job. Got here early, so decided to have a cool drink and relax in the cool shady spot close to where I am having the interview in a little while. The [...]
Looking ahead…
Saturday afternoon and I’m enjoying a steady cool breeze at Cheryl’s place in Brisbane. It’s close to the Brisbane River so it’s almost like the sea breezes that I’ve come to expect on Bribie Island. The little deck out the back is perfect for relaxing on a hot summer’s day like today. Cheryl is involved [...]
The power of positive thought…
One thing I’ve come to experience since meeting Cheryl is the power of positive thoughts. From the outset I’ll be honest and say that I’ve never really put much thought into what I say in relation to my own self, much of it often times said in jest — however that is not reflected in [...]
Time marches on…
Back in July I wrote about my relationship with Cheryl. One that took a little while to get going (I’ll admit, I was slow to pick up on her interest) but which is now well and truly “going”. To the point where in 2012 we are getting married. Despite a desire to keep the finer [...]
Vale Steve Jobs
It was a shock to read of Steve Jobs’ passing this morning…my iPhone4 seemed to come alive as the emails from the various news sites I am subscribed to started filtering through. I guess those of us who have kept an eye on the evolution of Apple weren’t surprised that he retired, but certainly we [...]
Happiness is…..togetherness
This is one of the first photos that Cheryl and I took together — using our iPhones. That number has expanded significantly as we have recorded the developing relationship. Every photo taken will be a reminder in the years to come of the time taken to get to know one another and further on as [...]
Life takes unexpected turns
The past month has been probably the most stressful ever in my 54 years. In some ways it’s been a “useful” dose of people watching – seeing what people will do to protect themselves, no matter the cost to others. At the same time, the Universe has steered into my life perhaps the most amazing [...]
Do things get better with time I wonder….
Different track tonight. Kind of disheartened with my station in life right now. I put on a brave front out in the world, all the while struggling with my inability to drag myself up out of the bog that seems to have a hold of me. Financial woes — I know I’m not the only [...]
Busy times = loss of control
Got to my workplace early, and felt like writing a short post. It’s a beautiful autumn day, and the temperature in the low 60′s (mid teens for those not familiar with Fahrenheit). It’ll get warmer especially now that the sun is poking up from behind the buildings – it’s catching my eyes as I type [...]
In times of need…
I’ve been relaxing following a tiring week — I’m doing a different job where I work and there’s a lot of learning of new processes etc to deal with. Thankfully I have a good decent group of people with which to share my work day. I watched some TV and have now settled in to [...]
