Work Less, Travel More, Laugh More and Find Time To Give Back.

Stiffling heat has stunted my ability to sleep.
Have taken refuge in the library.
Had plenty of energy for my night shift - but tonight will be a different story.
2010 is hours away.
One of my clients asked me to make a list of my resolutions(!)
Work less, travel more, laugh more and find time to give back.
These could be teased out a little..................................
Work 3 days a week - Experience more space and not have to rush through the days.
Travel the world, just about to do this! So exciting. This is just a taster for things to come.
?Living and working OS.
Investigate OS options - get onto this Jenny.
Laugh? More chill out time with friends and family. Go to the beach, walk, play games.
Beaches far and wide, but hey Port Willunga is pretty damn good.
Giving back - volunteer with environmental groups, amnesty, uniting care justice, op shop, library - there are lots of options here - volunteer abroad.
It is funny how things topple out of your mind.
Cheers.

Living on Cherries

It has taken at least 10 minutes to log onto this site, on the lap top-frustration.
Living on Cherries, post Christmas 09.
Way behind with plans for Overseas.
I have one day free!
Looking forward to getting some cold weather gear and having a decent latte.
Was reading some old writing I did when I was 15 - hilarious.
I had developed my own magazine as editor and publisher.
My readership was all of my home ie my brother and sister - the address for competitions was my bedroom! Time goes by and I am still setting up competitions and writing away.
But to be an editor.....................................

The church of the future.....................

The church of the future is in your lounge room, cafe and park.
Could use the church building - but redesign so you can see everyone.
Of course this is not a radical idea(!)
The question I pose is how to structure this - so as everyone is a part of it.
When something runs its course - what takes its place.
By the by I need to start working on a worship plan for Sunday - but I need space.
Did an extra night duty last night and am feeling surprisingly well.
Just booked in four new tyres on our best car - so there goes that extra shift money.
Also been browsing hotels for the OS trip - Riga, Hong Kong, Washington - reading reviews, looking at photos - think I have made some decisions.
Cheers.

Christmas News, Blues & Views.

Christmas news, blues and views.
I have found my way to a computer that is away from all the hustle and bustle.
News - our minister has had a baby girl - the miracle of a new life.
A longstanding member of the church has had a stroke - it is hard to see someone struggle.
My sister has just visited and we had the best time eating, drinking and shopping.
Blues - Haven't had a spare minute, been able to do any singing, choir, end of year cellabration or even listen to the carols night.
School report - could have been a lot better.
Work - frantic pressure, lots of clients who do NOT like Christmas.
Heat - it's coming back......................
Christmas - It's nearly here and I am spending too much.
Views - I need a key to the hall - always seem to be borrowing one for the tree display, quarry market etc.
Copenhagen is hanging in the balance - please pray for a clear resolution to take away and banish the skeptics into a cave.
Retirement - Heard a man talking on The View - he was an anchor man on ABC TV USA - Who stated a friend of his was never allowed home for lunch as a retiree - I must remember that one for the other half.
Cards - I am perpetually behind with this, yet I seem to write loads. To do - neighbours and visit & organize director stuff. Amnesty letter/cards.
Children - It's about letting go.
