my room

my favourite place to be when I'm not outside. i took some pictures for myself to look back at once I've moved.
my favourite part of my room is photos, i love having memories of special times and people all over the place so between daydreams, laying on my bed i can look up and be taken back to happy happy times
ignore my unpainted windowsill, by the time i painted my whole room, door and skirting board i decided i deserved a break and would get to it later.... much later it seems
my leaf full of crystals that soak up the sun and fill my room with peaceful energies. i often put the ones I'm feeling drawn to under my pillow so theres probably just as many floating around and and under my bed. its fun uncovering 'new' ones when i vacuum
my little craft spot. i look forward to having a craft room when i move. oh the things ive created at this spot:)

gratitude day 7

today im sooooooo grateful for my car loan being approved!!!!!!!!!

i now officially have 11000 car dollars ready to buy a car! im so incredibly excited, me and lil are going to have a look in some car yards on saturday, it would be fantastic to get one so soon but wel see.

mum and benny are both probably sick of me telling them 'hey look, thats a nice astra' and 'guess what i just rememberd, i have enough money to buy my car!!' i hope to put them out of their misery soon lol

on another note, my official end of work in kadina is december 15th. i am planning to do family care again in pt. wakefield and have some lovely children lined up, so as long as we can get an appropriate house to rent i have work sorted. i will even hopefully get to keep my fieldworker that visits me for work here! were keeping an eye out for houses already and will start renting as soon as a good one comes up (benny will move in until i finish work here) its all very exciting and im pleased that i am on the way to having a car so it will be one less thing to worry about.

gratitude day 6

today im gratefull for feeling better. i ate some funky ham that gave me an upset stomach for the day. so i spent the day laying around outside feeling sorry for myself, reading, making felt play balls and drinking lots of water. i am also thankful for the company i wave in the garden. theres always chooks clucking, mishka making appearances, the plants and their radiance, willy wagtails and pigeons fluttering and singing and the mail guy who has nicknamed me garden gnome because i always see him in the afternoons when im winding down for the day by pottering and enjoying the garden

heres my comfy spot for the day. my quilt makes me so happy, its so me! im so glad i made it

gratitude day 5

i am grateful for trips home. the trip going somewhere im usualy thinking excitedly of what is to come, fun things i will be doing etc, which is nice but my favourite trips are heading home. i love driving by myself, drifting along, plenty of time to think and relax. nothing to do but look at beautiful scenery and contemplate lifes journey. every week i drive half an hour to see benny and most of the times i switch off music and take the time to 'just be' i love having the time all to myself, centering myself, meditating (with eyes open of course!)

gratitude day 4

i am grateful that i only have to pay just over half of what i thought id have to pay for tax!

im very proud of myself as i finally went and got my tax done. not that it sounds like a big deal but it was my first time doing tax and as im classed as a small buisiness i had no idea what to expect and what paperwork i was suposed to have etc. i wasnt sure if theyd think i was stupid for not having the right things, but it turned out i had everything he needed and it was organised perfectly. (a good fluke if i do say so myself)

now that ive done my tax i can get a car loan. because i dont have to pay as much as i thought, i have a third of the money i need saved up. im planning on getting an auto green or blue holden astra like this one, im very excited! fingers crossed i can find a realy good one

the new and improved penny

improved as in less noisy. our penny turned out to be a rooster.

i woke up super early one morning and rubbing my eyes went to see who was the culprit in the case of the early morning noise polution. it was my dear little penny. now named bruce by his new owner.

this chookie may be a little unfortunate looking (im not entirely sure but i think the goal must have been to give me the ugliest bird in the flock ha ha) but shes nice and quiet so i love her!

brownies mmmm

my babe made me brownies, they were so good! and i have a whole container all for myself... which i left in pt. wakefield:( sigh! oh weal, at least i have photos so i can look at them and remember how good they were. (kidding, that makes it so much worse!!!!!) i sure do wish i had brownies

gratitude day 3

i am grateful for all the changes spring brings to the garden. this morning me and the kids went for a walk through the garden and talked about all the changes happening to plants. we noticed the cherry tree is getting leaves, the peacharine tree and strayberry plants are getting flowers for bees to polinate, our bean seeds have sprouted over the weekend and our chamomile seedlings are 'turning into plants.' i am grateful for the plants and just as much i am grateful for all the beautiful little people that help me stop and see things simply and notice little things that were so used to we dont always take the time to appreciate. i am blessed to spend my days with happy little souls, i am so thankful for all the fun and laughter they bring to my life.

gratitude day 2

im late posting already haha:)
I am so thankful for my wonderful benny, i couldnt ask for a better best friend, boyfriend, paralell life explorer, fellow beach bum, bike riding buddy, my everything! he brings so much happiness to my life, we are so happy in eachothers company. our relationship is so relaxed and fun, we are still yet to have our first fight (well hopefully not!) i couldnt imagine my life without him, hes always there for me when i need him, we go off and do our own thing apart and then know that we have eachother to come back to. I cant wait to live with him, share a bigger part of our lives.

gratitude

i found a blog that is posting '30 days of gratitude' (one thing each day) i wont kid myself, im 99% sure i wouldnt remember to post each day but im going to try hard and see what i come up with. im pretty sure it will go something like me getting excited at the start and posting all i can think of and then forgetting the whole thing but who knows. Each day i try to think of lots of things im grateful for anyway.

Today i am so grateful for:

My tuesdays off and warm spring weather

i had the greatest day on tuesday, it was warm and wonderful so me and kylie went to the beach with a blanket and pillows, a snacky picnic lunch of jatz, cheese, fruit salad (my favourite kind of lunch!)

the sky and water were so blue and perfect and it was a wonderful day of relaxation, great conversations, walking up and down the beach, and skipping barefoot in the cool salty water. my heart and soul are so happy at the beachand at the end we just rested and chatted, bathing in the warmth af the beautiful spring sun. I feel so calm and at peace just thinking of it. i am so happy and thankful to experience a day so perfect
