Some thoughts today after sorting out my pictures and sayings for Are you serious? version 1 and going to get 100 copies created. Send a copy to Barbara Barber and Marita Ryan. It was at a coaching session with Marita that it was born. Sell Linton so I can create options to work less at COB and more on what I want to do. Continue writing my book - are you serious? NOt Just Housework - get this up and running. Look at the other books as well - RE and -I knew I was serious when. Sort out email address - would prefer anneholloway@. Book marks. Get stickers made for current blog and yahoo. Get a business card made.

energy is going in the wrong direction

Not much happening in the creative section at the moment. all energy used to survive the day at work and after and before with soul destroying work issues. A saying I found - "apathy is a solution for some". Another saying - "are you sparkling like a star or melting like a snowflake?"

Have I got my head in the sand (or dirt)?

I feel these both represent where I am at the moment with everything creative. Winter is too cold for me to be creative. OH for central heating. Are you being thrifty or self depriving. Are you still reacting to triggers or creating strategies to enable to act?? Lessons being learnt right now

Only a few plants frost affected this year - more shelter around.

New house

I never thought I would be able to move into town from the country. Done deal now. very small - here is the view from kitchen to front of the house. Will be fun finding small furniture to fit in the house. Lots of colourful knick knacks to be added to make it fun. Studio bedroom outside and 'family' room outside too. Can't wait to be able to walk everywhere - especially Wilsons and the movies. Courses, gym, walking around the lake. Coffee and cake, museums and photography and media courses.
