Dear Journal (and blogtober readers), Yesterday was a wonderful wrap up of week three of this month's challenge. I feel blessed. Today topped the cake above almost everything else. I'm exhausted.

Dear Journal (and blogtober readers), It's appears, to my surprise, that people enjoy reading these occasional short journal entries.

It's the curiousity … Continue reading Friday, 19th October 2018
Dear Journal (and blogtober readers), After months of burnout, after months of waiting till tomorrow, it's finally the day, the last day of the work week in just 12hrs and then it's a whopping month off. I plan to spend time with the new baby coming soon, with family, time for reading/writing, and of course, … Continue reading Thursday, 18th October 2018
Every year it was the same handful of kids, on rotation, that would get that award, the big one, in front of the entire school. It wasn't a particularly fancy looking thing either, printed portrait on white A3 80gsm paper, as if it had just come from a photocopier. The stickers on it jazzed it … Continue reading I think my Mum was most proud – Versatile Blogger Award

Dear Journal (and #blogtober readers), I hesitated at the thought of getting up too early to do it, but after a fair sleep I awoke, had breakfast, checked social and ventured out the front yard. I cut the lawns after all of this rain and fixed up some of the garden. Meditation has been enjoyable … Continue reading Saturday, 13th October 2018
Dear Journal (and #blogtober readers), Usually I don't tag my journal entries, I reserve them mainly for my own reference and for those that are really into my blog, for them to find these themselves. Today, I'm opening them up. For the first time in the challenge of blogtober I'm finding creativity a little difficult … Continue reading Thursday, 11th October 2018
Dear Journal, Today was nice. I know that's a simple way to start this entry, but it was. Real relaxing. It was Dad's birthday. We had breakfast at the Botanic Gardens - BBQ. Lots of bacon. Chavapi. Tomatoes. Eggs. Pancakes. All the good stuff. Of course there was a lot of maple syrup with my … Continue reading Sunday, 30th September 2018
Dear Journal, Today is a celebration of my wife's birthday. She is loved. By so many. Especially the kids and I. That warms my heart. She deserves it. Happy Birthday! It's also the end of the work week for me. Yep, a day early. It's nice to have an extra day to re-energize. I've started … Continue reading Thursday, 23rd August 2018
Dear Journal, Dizzy. Two damn days of dizziness. I learned the Epley Manoeuvre today, it's offered little relief. Hopefully tomorrow is a better day so I can get to working again. Predator is on "old school" TV tonight. It's nice sometimes to let yourself go to the simplicity that is TV. I didn't get a … Continue reading Monday, 20th August 2018
