January 25th - Reflection Well Hi-diddly-ho to you, dear Journal and Journal-readers! I am up earlier than I would particularly like, today being rubbish day and that means bloody loud trucks clanging and banging past our house in the wee small hours.  To add insult to injury, the noise that awoke me also reminded me of the fact that we DIDN'T put our bins out.  But I didn't have the inclination to go running out to put them at the side of the road.  So, I just read over the journals for the last two weeks.  I have completed several personal goals in the last couple of weeks- getting my orthotics, getting my motorcycle licence, and joining Weight Watchers.  I guess when you think about it, life is a constant process of setting goals (both small and big) and working toward them (or sometimes not).  Sometimes it's hard to see that you've made progress or achieved things, which is why a journal is helpful.  I know I'm just spouting off well-known rhetoric here, but sometimes you can know things because you've heard them, but when you *know* them because you've experienced them it's a different sense of knowledge and inspiration that arises.  So, to all fellow journal writers in the world, I *know* what you mean :) I start work on Monday.  I feel extremely ambivalent about this.  Hmmm maybe ambivalent isn't the word.  Maybe indifferent is the word.  I'd really rather not go.  However, I need money and I do like meeting people through being employed so there are some positives that will come of it.  The main thing I don't really like about work is, well, that they want you to do work while you're there. :) In the meantime there are four lovely days to go.  Tomorrow is a public holiday being Australia Day and all.  Should be fun and relaxing.  Today I thought I would do some more motorbike riding.  Maybe even some walking.  Who knows.  The world is my oyster.  Better go experience it - NOW! <<Back     Home    Next>>
