Slightly overwhelmed...

I am feeling "slightly overwhelmed" today.  My mind is full of new things I am learning on a daily basis and it all needs to settle in and fall into place VERY quickly!

Beach babes...

Dean and Marisa went to Ballito on holiday last week.  They had really good weather as you can see from their "bronze bodies"...

My new office

I am enjoying my new office and learning so much every day! I am using my COURAGE muscle and it's getting stronger every day.

However, I think I am going to make a proposal to the powers that be to ban all trucks and taxi's from using the highways!!!

Mine is a sentence not a word for 2012...

Courage to overcome my fears and focus on what is important!

I had thought of "overcoming" as my word for 2012 as I have some fears I need to face.  After some thought and discussions I came up with my sentence.

I have some overwhelming fears that I need to address.  With our office having moved to Bedfordview the best way to get there is on the highway so I need to get to grips with the traffic and my fear of the speed at which people travel on this very busy highway.

I know that I will eventually get over this but for now it's very daunting.

21 today!!

Today my beautiful niece Taryn turns 21!  I spoke to her on the telephone and amazingly enough it has been a whole year since we last saw her.  She has grown into a stunning young woman and I love her to bits.

Happy Birthday Tanna - may all your dreams and wishes become reality.

Enjoy being all grown up now!

Happy New Year!!!

Time is a companion that goes with us on a journey.

It reminds us to cherish each moment because it will never come again.

What we leave behind is not as important as how we have lived, and are planning to live during 2012.

May the New Year bring abundant blessings, joy and happiness!

Just because

Just because you don’t know how, doesn’t mean you can’t. There is much you can learn by simply getting started, and you have plenty of ways to learn even more.
Just because it’s difficult and complicated, doesn’t mean it’s impossible. For you are able to make a little progress, one step at a time, then make a little more and a little more, until the goal is reached.
Just because something is standing in your way, doesn’t mean it has to stop you. The fact is, you can take the necessary actions to get beyond whatever obstacles may confront you.
Just because people tell you that it can’t be done, or that you can’t do it, doesn’t mean they are correct. Remind yourself, again and again, that you can do what you choose to do, making use of your commitment, thoughts, and actions.
Just because there is strife and pain and negativity in the world, doesn’t mean you have to give up on life. You can change your own life, and many, many other lives for the better, when you decide to do so.
Just because you’ve been reckless or frustrated or disappointed in the past, doesn’t mean the future has to be that way. Today is a new day, your life is yours to live, and there’s no limit to the goodness and joy you can now create.
