Slept until just before 6am: and considering I went to bed at 9:30pm, that is a good sleep for me.
Thank you again for your prayers: and thanks be to God.
I made an appointment to see a career counsellor at the uni I studied at; we shall see how that goes. Not planning a dramatic [...]
Well, as St James wrote, ‘the prayers of the righteous avail much’, so I must be blessed to have many righteous read my blog. Feeling a bit better and brighter this afternoon: thank you.
And thanks to 2 wonderful work colleagues as well who listen: I am blessed.
Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
Matthew 6:34 [ESV]
Deceptively simple words: deceptively simple, at least for me, because the simple act of not worrying current seems equivalent to the feat of throwing a mountain into the sea by a word. [...]
A reasonably tough weekend: English Conversation Class went well and I sat through a movie as part of the Italian Film Festival, Many Kisses Later, that, while rather enjoyable, passed me by a lot as I was consumed, and I use that word intentionally, with anxiety — about everything and anything. It was a [...]
The view from my front yard:
Carried on the wind from the western part of NSW. An interesting site to wake to: a very eerie glow. And rather quiet: cannot hear the usual birds chirping [of course, I just write that and one starts... But quieter than usual].
My prayers for [...]
Strong winds set for tonight and tomorrow in Sydney town: and most of NSW and the ACT. A storm is passing through: very heavy rain, lots of wind and plenty of lightning.
Parts of NSW and the ACT have also been covered with dust, as dust storms come from dry land in the west of [...]
By my thoughts.
Like fellow Wibloggers Japes and Tractor Girl I’m wishing I were in a simpler place. Of course, any complications are of my own making in my mind, but there is nothing I like better than a good moan and pondering in my mind of the disaster that is my life and what [...]
My beautiful nieces on holiday [an indoor shot mind you] in Fiji via MMS — ah…technology: Skye has had her hair braided as can be seen. They are back this afternoon [I'm going to the airport with mum to pick them up this afternoon] and it will be great to see them again. [...]
My dad had a knee replacement on Thursday evening: visited him yesterday and he seems to be recovering well — though he was doped up on some painkiller [the name of which I cannot remember] which was interesting to see. He will remain in the hospital there for several more days before being transferred [...]
Today, September 18. A colleague, from Chile, informed me. Given a reasonable Chilean, and South American in general, population around where I live, there was last week, and will be this week, a Chilean festival at the local showground. May try and pop along. Here are some photos from last [...]
