I have not managed to get fingers to keyboard over the last week and half and my head is ready to explode! I enjoy this process and without it, I do battle. I haven't been around as I have been doing some self-development*, first aid training and learning about workplace mental health, oh and throw… Continue reading Intense

Preparation, realisation and acceptance
The last few months have been a blur of work. Not so much activity in respect of doing a bunch of things, but just work. It feels like I am breathing, eating and sleeping work. Then I went and lined up 5 days of training over 6. There is a lot of preparation to do… Continue reading Preparation, realisation and acceptance
Understand me… but you will probably be more confused!
Stole this idea from here ... Instead of doing a comment, I thought I would just run with the blog. The original is a missive from Jessica at “Branches” entitled “Five Things You Should Read/Watch/Listen To If You Want to Understand Me”. (Limit yourself to five books, movies, or songs that define and/or formed you. This is… Continue reading Understand me… but you will probably be more confused!
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
I was called "attractive", "sexy" and "hot" last night. Took me completely by surprise and the little cynical voice inside me went "he's just after one thing, it's not genuine". I wonder how many of us have that self same conversation when we are complimented? I have had a few backhand compliments of late as… Continue reading Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
Friendship, relationship and work
I am starting to realise how close to burn out I am. It is scary. I have had to take a few steps back of late, and in the process of deliberately slowing down, I have seen how close total shut down is. I suppose there is only so far I can delude myself into… Continue reading Friendship, relationship and work
Marriage
I don't know how to be married. How is that for a strong opening line? Honestly though, I don't know how to be married. When I think of marriage, I am constantly reminded of the first one. That was easy in hindsight and I will explain. In my first marriage, we had all the conventional… Continue reading Marriage
Blah, blah, blah
I wonder when I became this blathering, bitter, twisted person? Ok, that is a little harsh, but it certainly feels that way. I can't seem to find peace in my head and everything I do seems mired in some sort of bog. No fucking forward movement. Of course this means I need to dissect EVERYTHING.… Continue reading Blah, blah, blah
Anniversaries, life and mistakes
WordPress informs me that I have been using this platform for 4 years. This is in various disguises and under various nom-de-plumes. This particular guise seems to sit better than those before, so there is a good chance of another 4 years in the making 🙂 What makes this guise better? Well for one, I… Continue reading Anniversaries, life and mistakes
F is for family – or so I’m told
It has been quiet around here for a while, and then suddenly all hell broke loose. It hasn't been exactly sunshine and roses in this house, more like storms and thorns, but this weekend proved to be the cherry on the cake. Thursday was not a good night. R and I ended up arguing again… Continue reading F is for family – or so I’m told
Balance
It is easy to lose balance when work and life each have demands that take up a lot of time and energy. It takes you to a point where a light push of wind in either direction will mean you fall and fall far. At the moment, my internal resources are pushed to the limit… Continue reading Balance
