Welcome to my new blog. This blog will be full of my musings, what makes me tick, what I am doing with myself and generally just a place where I can come to yak at no one in particular but keep myself amused for a while. I'd like to think that some of the things you see here will either motivate you to try new things, teach you something or just entertain you.
I'm not quite sure where the blog will go at the moment so I will start off by introducing myself. I am 54 years old, married with a 31 year old son. I live on the outskirts of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia and work full time in an office doing accounts. The last six years have seen my health go up and down and last year was a particularly bad year with my second diagnosis of cancer and ensuing treatment. The treatment is over now and I just want to move on with my life and enjoy myself. Being sick and not working gives one a lot of time to think about things, usually quite depressing stuff and I have come out determined to just be happy. Unfortunately I have to work but luckily I do enjoy accounts work.
On the home scene I am trying to get back into a simpler life without the stresses of consumerism and keeping up with the Jones. I don't like what the human race are doing to this beautiful planet that we have been fortunate enough to be given the honour of being custodian to. Greed and just general thoughtlessness seem to be routine these days and I would love for people to start thinking more about what they do and the consequences it can have. Empathy towards our fellow man seems to be at an all time low and that saddens and concerns me too. I can't change the world but I can change my own thoughts and habits.
I think I shall just let you learn the rest about me by reading my blog so please come back soon and see what I have been up to.
Until next time....... cheerio
Judy
