Eat, Pray, Love

If you haven't read it....read it

the book is called, Eat, Pray, Love and it's by Elizabeth Gilbert.....and it's a must read....

Elizabeth goes from a very bad divorce...to Italy to eat her body well...then to India to pray her soul well...then to Indonesia to love herself back to life!!!

I have to say that i have loved this book enormously....the part where she was in India to learn to find God...was an eye opener to me.....

We are "God", or "Divine" or the "Goddess" whatever you wish to call it....

To find "God"...is to love yourself warts and all....

To find "God" is to love yourself unconditionally.....

To find "God" is to let love rule your heart....

To find "God" is to let love rule your heart and rule your head......

Each day i am trying to say that i love myself...

Each day i look at the life i have and try to give thanks...

Each day i look at my kids and tell them that i love them....

Each day i look at my hubby and give thanks for the wonderful man that he is...

Each day i will give thanks that i have all that i need to live..and then more...

Each day i will give thanks for the wonderful friends that i have in my life....

Each day i will give thanks for the wonderful family i have both here in Australia and England....

Each day i will give thanks to be alive....

Blessed Be

All well

I am back in the land of the living....kind of...

My operation to fix the downstairs pumping went well..now I'm just very sore and tired...

I have slept most of today and have only just gotten up @ 4pm....criminal!!!!

Have been told that i cant lift anything over a kilo for the next 6 weeks...what that!!! how may i ask do you manage that one!!!

Was told even a full kettle of water is over a kilo...

But will take all the advice given as my dear sister said..."you don't want to go back to get it re-fixed"

no way....bad enough first time round!!!

So will be coming up with new and novel ideas on how to do things...like the

washing....leave for the washing fairies!!!

Shopping....leave it for shopping fairy (hubby)

vacuuming....leave it for the kids!! yes that's right they both love to use the swivel sweeper...so let them i say!!!

Gone and done it

I've booked tickets of myself and the kids to fly to the UK in nov.....

yes that's right just the kids and I...

Actually it's just like the King and I...or i should say Kings and I..hehehe

Me and two kids under 5...hmmm...interesting....oh well looks like Mum will be their entrainment for the trip...

third time lucky

We went and brought another fish...so watch this space to see if i have more luck with this one!!!

You know the funny thing...Bear's and mine were to two fish that died..and we wanted them...Dollygirl's and Hubby's fish are still going strong and one didn't want a fish (hubby) and the other is not really aware of what a fish is (dollygirl)....

strange i said

And then there were 2

another of our goldfish has died...mine....it says in Feng Shui that when a fish of yours dies that they have taken on your bad karma...hmm..what bad karma was i going to get i wonder!!!!

Poor wee fishy had an problem with her swim bladder and spent the last few hours of her life swimming side ways.....new way to look at the world i suppose...

Not sure if i'm going to replace her or not...don't seem to have much luck with goldfish!!!

Sad Days

We have a funeral to go to on Thursday.....Hubby's Mamma (grandma) died on Friday she was almost 94 so had a good life...but she could have had a few more but for a issue with the nursing home she was in. She had fallen and broke her hip so they had to put a plate and screws into her hip....she said to her youngest son that after this she had no wish to go on....as she fear that she was not going to be able to walk freely again.....she was not even supposed to be getting up on her own anymore....but there was no-one there to help her!!!!

I never really knew her that well but she was a grand old lady, she had had a hard life but a good one, and her sponge cake was to die for.

Rest in peace Joan
