My exciting purchase

Each Saturday this summer I headed out with friends searching for great deals. We'd spend a few hours in the morning driving and searching through yard sales in our neighbourhood. I hadn't expected to run into the perfect solution for the indented wall off the kitchen. But there it was. And it was ten bucks!

It's added that little extra bit of space to the kitchen. It's ideal and looks great. Did I mention I paid $10 bucks for it!

My loving parents

Lots of people live far from their loved ones. It's not easy. Especially when they have a hard year. You want to be there for them and look after them. Work, life and eight or so hours of travel keep you away except for maybe twice a year, sometimes only once.

I wish I was there mom. If only in time to help you back into your skates. I wish I was there. Good choice in colour by the way. : ) I love you!

And there you are

I woke that morning, from the wrong side of the bed. I wondered to myself several times why I was feeling the way I was. Twice I stopped, took a breath and intentionally changed my thought pattern to try and improve how I was feeling. It wasn't until 9:05 that I realised it was a mild case of unconscious anxiety I'd come down with that morning. 9:05 was the moment my condition lifted. It was the moment I heard what I didn't even realise I feared not hearing... your heart beat.
