All is well with the world - how's your world?
'Busy' is an under-statement for my life at the moment, but then who isn't busy? Recently a large bush fire blazed out of control, sending our area into high alert. The fire still burns. It's controlled now though, and the panic is over. A local family, with their property threatened by the flames took refuge in our house, camping there for a few days - all seven of them! One afternoon the effect of the smoke created a flame reflection in the creek, for a split second I thought our paddock was alight - that was the heart-attack! In a impossibly short amount of time I have to finish writing a navigation manual and a navigation exercise booklet. It's a struggle, doing navigation on the floor. But instead of letting that worry me I think how lucky I am to have shelter and warmth and enjoy what I'm doing - it's funny really, at 47 starting from nothing - again. It's a great life and focusing on the positives is my style. And the house is coming along beautifully! On a weed-pulling walk this afternoon (which is my exercise, my therapy, and my paddock management all rolled into one), I met this fellow, isn't he a beauty? I snapped off a quick pic and left him in peace. Life is hectic, but good. I am re-focusing my days to include areas of my life I've been neglecting, including this blog, so there will be more pictures and fun posts to follow.
