Turning 30

So even though my 30th isn’t untill the end of March (the 29th), my party is in a few days so I’ve decided to write a fw words (even if it’s at 0500 in the morning!)

I'm not one to really give two hoots about age and getting older; after all it’s not like any of us get out of this alive is it? All we can do is really make the most of our time on this planet and be the best we can do. 

For me, the last few years have found me on the right track (boom tish!) I’ve finally managed to enter the industry I’ve aimed for for a very long time and I’m plodding along at a steady pace, all while aiming to get where I want to (I won’t say what as I don’t want to jinx it but if you ask me face to face I’ll tell you- putting it online would make it all too real!)

While my career is going great guns, I’m pondering about my personal life. For me my friends are my family and I’ve been lucky enough to have found two friends who really are my brothers; hell everyone in my company agrees with me about one! And that’s ok; after all as an individual I thrive (for a lack of a better word) on people who can help me become a better person and my two brothers do this; they accept me for who I am and challenge me to be better and I know they are there for me when times get tough as I am for them. 

The rest of the people in my life I also truly love; after all I believe we meet people for a reason and we should encourage each other to be the best we can be and to be more loving and helpful to one another; there’s too much bullshit in the world and hate and who has time for that? 

I know I don’t!

As for my love life- meh. It’s certainly not what I thought it would be that’s for certain. And sometimes yes I long for a deeper connection with someone; this I cannot nor will not deny. 

But I am what I am and that’s ok. Life is messy and ugly and unexpected and we are along for the ride; the best we can do is accept what we can change and aim to make a difference to peoples lives no matter how small or big; after all a simple smile, a gesture or a compliment can go a long way. 

So I guess turning 30 for me is just another day in my life; my party will be small but intimate and the people going are all people that hold a special meaning to me.

And to my two brothers, thank you! 

The Crazy Month of January

So my crazy month of January is finally over- well 6 days ago really.

How crazy do you ask?

Well, in the five (roughly) weeks of the month, over the course of 3 of them I averaged 60 hours of both work and volunteerism (sadly not in Bendigo, which I will always enjoy doing!) 60 hours you say? Well my average working week at Big Dub is approximately 38 hours, this was followed in the first week of the month by 30 hours as customer slavice as my friend would refer to it, 32 roughly in the second last week of the month due to sheepel counting at the tennis and the second week of the tennis was roughly about the same, give or take.

Do I regret any of it? Not really to be honest. I mean; admittedly I did loose a lot of the pay from the other jobs to tax, but such is life and I do enjoy doing those jobs. Yes, money is nice and good, however I enjoy what I do and I take extreme pride in what I do.

Anyway, things are very slowly getting back to normal for me. I still have my good friends, a luncheon on the tramcar restaurant with a close friend to look forward to and of souse, time in Bendigo.

Hopefully from now on I'll also have more time to work on my website.
