Early morning in our householdĀ – little Oliver wakes between 5.30 and 6 am – and I am normally lucky to get a lye in until 7. If we are at home (not doing kindy) we watch In the Night Garden together. What a wonderful program and way to start the day!
It is so much like a toddler – simple but yet very cheerful, repatative but sweet. Oliver (2 1/2) just loves it and it makes me very happy too. Just right for my goal to be happy and appreciate life around me now.

What a great word!
I saw it the first time on a large billboard when out driving the other day – and that is all it said. This week it transpired it is part of an ad campaign (http://unworry.com.au/ – and the ad is funny and makes you happy)
But for me, at this point in time, it is perfekt. I am trying to get myself organised enough to move me and my life forward in a new direction and I do alot of thinking. And as usual I do alot of procrastination – but I am getting better at not doing it. But there are so many things that need doing that I easily get caught up in the thinking and planning what to do next instead of action.
Now this word made me feel better – and add to that “Just do it” (yes – from another ad, I know) – I am now more motivated to get moving forward.

How amazing is it not with everything around. You just have to stop and look around and you see some amazing things.
Today when I was out walking with my 2 1/2 year old – two parrots flew by – I have never seen that kind before – they where bright green with red on the front – and they looked long and slim. Then a little later when on the way to the chiropractor – I saw three black parrots flying by. It is spring and what I have figured out these years living here – they come back to the area around this time of year.
Many years ago I read a very interesting book and one of the things they mentioned was about filling up with energy from nature – i.e. just sit under a tree and watch the surronding to feel re-energized. It has always worked with me – and I find the most energy from watching clouds and the earth from above when flying.

Ok – so here I go – I think I am ready for push-back. After having played around with themes and organised my blog to look (sort of ) the way I want it, at this moment in time, I feel that I should start writing.
Why did I start this? After having had a litte down energy for a while (or winter depression) and feeling stuck in routines and not getting anywhere in particular and feeling a need to do something different – my husband gave me a book to read “How would Love respond” by Kurek Ashley. He read this just as it was published a few months ago – I had seen it lying around, but never been interested enough to start reading it. But this time I thought, “why not” and started reading – and WOW – it really hit home with me.
The book brings together alot of things I have learned in the past and things I have picked up along they way or had with me. It also adds other things that makes it all more whole for me. I have just finished reading the book – still need to mull over it a little more before moving forward fully. I will return to this as soon as I am fully ready. I also plan to revisit some other books, thoughts and courses from before to tie this in together.
Then my daughter started this all-inspiring blog (she is amazing!) and she and my husband have helped me get started. It will take a few tries to get to where I want this to go – but please feel free to leave a comment or two. I am (almost) a complete virgin in this (have two blogpages in blogger, mostly for family news as we live far far away from family) and I am looking and feeling my way around.

Hello World!
This is a start to see if this is something that I will enjoy. I have so much to write and so many ideas that I would like to write about.
I am getting ready to plan this first “flight”. To start off with, I will spend some time with design and content to make this site nice and pretty.
It might take some time to get started – but hopefully not too long before I am ready for Take-off!
