Back on track..

| No Comments

The past few months have been an adventure.
Got a new job, met a great guy, saw bits of Europe (albeit a short trip) on my own
Christmas and New Year's came and went
Then Chinese New Year arrived and what better way to welcome it by more celebrations!
Settling back into routine has been hard
It's always too easy to say, I'll do this or I'll do that tomorrow..
But over the last week, 3 people have told me that I've put on weight.
Sigh.
So there's no escaping reality now
Time to start implementing some disciple!
Back to home cooked meals, eat healthier foods
Save some money
Sprinkle in some training..

Older but none the wiser

27 and a day old
Another 2 strands of stubborn silvery white hair
Definitely none the wiser
I woke up and opened my presents - which I kept till the morning
A gorgeous mirror encased in silver, aqua blue and sparkly jewels from my sister
A white vase which will sit under the glass console table - it's coming!
The yellow envelope, with my birthday card from a dear friend, putting sunshine in my day and bounce in my steps
Teppenyaki for dinner in the company of people I enjoy and love
It's been a while since I last celebrated my birthday with such fun.
Smses, e-mails and wishes from friends who remembered.
Much thanks and love - you know who you are!

Where has it gone?

The month of January came and went, between time zones of fairytale and normality
It felt like an eternity being away from you
And when I returned, I never wanted to leave your side

The drone of the morning radio shows
Mundane routines of working 9 to 5
Take me back to a life of leisure and travels

The search for more tech savvy toys
Unwrap the box upon arrival
Almost re-living Christmas mornings of childhood once upon a time

Stifling heat day after day
Mucky humidity of the Melbourne air
Laughter and fun in the sun, the salty pool
Strands of hair sticking to my damp neck

Water PJ
Escape the heat
Cuddles in the night
I fall asleep to your motor-like purrs
