I'm writing this blog for totally selfish reasons, to connect to a world that I know is out there, even though I don't usually take part in it. Don't get me wrong now, I love being out,meeting people and enjoying the company of my "fellow islanders"but it isn't always possible. My sixteen year old daughter had herself a good falling to the ground, roll around laugh at my expense when she heard I was starting a blog, but thats ok. There's a lot of doubt about what I'll be able to write but I'm sure that theres a lot of people out there like me, whose life might not be extremely exciting but who still has a whole lot to say and would like to share in my experiences, maybe even joining me to share theirs. Living life is about every day occurances that happen not only to me but maybe to a lot of people out there, it's reaching out and sharing some things about myself that will hopefully make us all feel a little less lonely in this world that we live in.

I woke up today feeling crappy like I sometimes do, dwelling on the negative, thinking about my problems and freaking out about the increasing number of neices pouring into our house over the holidays, but standing in my gallery half an hour later watching the sun slowly rising and touching my face with it's warmth ,I realised in the middle of all this birbsong inturrupted quiet.That I was one of the lucky ones, that no matter how disruptive and loud my kids, neices, nephews got at least I had them to love and have them love me. No matter what my situation is at least I'm here, blessed to be where God put me having the experiences I'm having and just living life
