The ‘Garden State’ cover is different in Australia to the one on the above website. I like ours better actually. It depicts a great scene from the movie.
The movie is awesome. Great movie, very funny scenes, touching issues and complications and the music is just what I am enjoying lately, Shins etc.
Yes it has been the high point of my day watching this movie.

Today has been a little bit of a struggle to avoid feeling those end of school holidays blues. I managed though. It’s just a freedom restriction thing. I like being at school these days – Remember that! Yes, it’s me talking to myself again.

Not going to the Park

Earlier in my life, I lived in the Berwick area on and off for around 10 years. I must have driven past Wilson Botanical Park literally 100s of times and never took the opportunity to visit. Today I was visiting old friends in that part of the world and my best friend and partner had an appointment there. It has changed heaps. I don’t know why but I decided we should go to Wilson B. P. for a check out. It was amazing. A really beautiful space in the heart of the hustle and bustle of an overgrown village. If you live in that area you really should check it out and spend some time there.
You can see forever. It is refreshing to be out of the rat race and it is just delightful.
We shouldn’t take these things for granted because our wild spaces are shrinking. There were very few people there, which is amazing considering how busy the rest of Berwick is. I hope that it always remains a sanctuary for the wildlife and people who do need to see nature.

A good day was had by all

I loved today. It was one of those flow days when things fall into place and plans work for everyone. Here is a photo of a corner of my home that I particularly like at just that time when the sun comes in the window.
I made a bit of progress on a project I am working on today and found a few useful tools that will add a lot of value I think.I rearranged appointments successfully so everyone got their needs met – I love it when that happens. I made some good decisions about my mosaic. I haven’t put them into action and I realised today there is not a hope of completing it before going back to work on Monday, but that’s ok, because I want to do it properly. I am getting clearer and clearer about how I want it to be. I’m in no rush to get it right. I’m enjoying the process. I’m feeling happy, creative and very grateful about my life. Just like I was when my daughter Asha rang to say she had a surplus of chocolate and could we help her out. Here’s a picture of Tom with a mouth full. I went for a lovely walk tonight and bumped into an old friend who I discovered lives just around the corner. It made me realise how far I have come in the last 10 years and how much I love my life. I enjoyed window shopping. I prefer that to shopping in the daytime. The crowds of shoppers don’t allow you to stand and stare. The lighting always makes things look better at night.
