Even though I know I’ll never hear your twinkling laugh again, I’ll never stop listening for it.
Even though I know I’ll never share a glass of bubbley-ness with you again, I’ll never forget how wonderful it felt to do just that with you so often.
I’ll miss your perfumed hug of deep warmth, and I know that wherever you are, you’re still giving it to me.
Your jokes still ring in my ears and your smile that can light a room will forever stay with me.
I love you.
I hope wherever you are, your pain is gone, and that there’s a game of tennis for you to always play. That the cup runneth over with alcohol, and that there is always someone to share a beautiful meal with (even if it includes chicken feet). I hope wherever you are, you still feel the love of all those who love you so much.

You stumble on philosophical questions every day.. this is my favourite from today….

Our weekend in Sydney was grand, thank you for asking!
Today’s horoscope;
Even if you are physically healthy, you could tire yourself out by trying to do too much now. It makes sense for you to keep your work current, yet you may fall behind due to social distractions. You’ll need to make a judgment call as to whether or not a bit of lighthearted fun will be worth the extra effort tomorrow when you have to catch up on what you didn’t finish today.
True That!
Today is not a good focus day – it’s all about playing and laughing and gossiping. I suspect I’ll regret it tomorrow, considering how much work is currently sitting in piles on my desk in front of me as I type…
Oh well. We only live once!
February is here and the cold hard facts have been assessed.
It’s diet town in this little ol’ house of ours, and we’ve done the sums to prove that we need it…
Having done the BMI and the Waist to Hip ratio calculations, and “failing” both, I’m now officially on a diet. In fact Boy and I are both on the “it’s time to look better” diet… love has been wonderful to us and never seems to fade, but the waist line has increased in direct proportion to how much more my heart fills with love everyday. It’s time to face facts and stop wearing my heart on my waist… it’ll look better on my sleeve anyway.
At the end of February I hope to look something like this;

Everywhere I go, there’s always someone smiling at me… 
There’s something about our local Asian grocery that always makes me very hungry!
Thought for the day;
Sometimes I have to acknowledge that I can’t accomplish everything I want to. And even though that thought really sh*ts me, it’s okay to say, “guess what, I’m human too”….
Just don’t tell anyone that I admitted to it, okay?
I read lots of books.
And like any true child of the nineties, with an attention span shorter than the length of an TV ad, I’ve become an advocate of reading multiple books at one time.I don’t believe that the same book that can engross you when you’re bored, should be the same book you pick up when you’re feeling unsettled, or happy, or alone. Like picking a dvd at a rental store, I can pick up a book at anytime to suit my tastes.
I might not get through books as fast as I used to, but I’m a happier reader this way.
As a gift to me when I first moved in, my lover gave me a book nook.
A bit of a “welcome to my home” present, as well as recognition that reading is something I like to do, and I try to do it often.
It’s a little corner with my pillows in it, a row of books line one side, either half read or awaiting commencement.
My Mark Ryden sits above my head,
And the fish swim seductively beside me.
There’s a framed photo of lover and myself taken many years ago when we were first friends.
Joyous smiles of true happiness under fading light.
My books make me happy.
My book-nook makes me feel safe.
My lover makes me feel loved.
My life is a joyous smile under a fading sun.
Many many smiles.
