It’s tough. Sometimes you hate it. Other times you love it. Most times you just can’t understand it or work it out. But despite it’s ups and downs we are here experiencing it and every day we have a choice as to which way we choose to embrace it.<\/p>\n
I’m grateful for my life. This week I went to a funeral. A brother of a good friend. He was only 42 and left behind 8 children and family and friends who loved him very much. It’s too young. Funerals remind you about life; how short it is, how valuable it is, and how we need to live to make it count.<\/p>\n
Hectic week coming up as we plan for a month-long adventure leaving next weekend. Yes we are fly by the seat of our pants people. We’ll be road tripping up to Brissy for a week.<\/p>\n
From there we are heading on a P & O cruise to the Pacific Islands (lifetime bucket list check!) and then having a week in Qld before returning home. And then I go to Malaysia for six days to check off another lifetime bucket list – orangutans in Borneo.<\/p>\n
I LOVE this song lately. I’m finding myself figuring out still what I stand for and some nights I just don’t know. But I still wake up and fight. Celebrate the waking up.
