2 weeks later.

Thought I may add a little for my own sake...lol, before I forget too much of all I have been up to.

Well, in that 2 weeks I turned another year older, such is life. Its really not such a big deal for me these days, just nice to be remembered. thanks to those who did, and don't worry about it to the others.

I have continued on the roller coaster of life, and have been going down the yukky scary parts abit of late. Its good when you are older, you realise, it all comes to pass and the scenery can change very quickly. My emotions are my roller coaster, the scenery doesn't change too much but the way I react to it does. passionate ppl have high highs and low lows, thank God, I move through the lows, and realise that it all comes to pass. pretty smoothly. will spare you all the details.

Went to Newcastle to my niece's 30th birthday. Enjoyed myself. Her husband's band was the entertainment. And it was really hard to talk to anyone while it was playing, so they lost me abit there. Her 83year old grandmother had the right idea. I noticed her sitting blissfully amongst it all, and marvelled, then saw the ear plugs...smart woman, probably been to a few of those types of functions.

In the week before that I also went to another neice's 2year old daughter's funeral. That was a sad story, (no wonder, I have "felt" it) A tragic accident.

Anyway...not meaning to be morbid, but in the last year, I have attended 6 funerals, and had to miss another due to another engagement. 2 were for "old" people, 1 for a middle age, then a 30yr, 20 year, 18year and the most recent 2 years. I think I have only been to 2 funerals in my life before that! Someone said its because I am getting older, but its not, cause the majority were for youngens.

Life, huh. Make the most of it...TODAY, I say. No guarantee on tomorrow. I had quite the conversation with my sister on this subject, as I stayed with her on the weekend. People say it, but dont live like it.

I am amazed at the situation with Wall street at the moment. Its compulsory here to put some of your wages into superannuation, which basically is a fund that supports your retirement. BUt with all that is happening on the financial market, people's super, is going down with the stock market...quite scary really. Gold always still the way to go I think.

Hope I havent been too doomsday for you all....its me...at this moment, but guess what, summer is coming, its just smells simply great outdoors with all the beautiful blossom everywhere, and the days are getting longer....LOvE it!!
