Got it all sorted!!

My room that is, I have been so busy lately making so many layouts and stuff for the shop that my scrapping room got very badly neglected,(well it has for he last 6 months) and let me tell you I didn't have much scrapping space left on the table, so after a good day spent sorting and cleaning.

I feel inspired again.......... inspired to make another mess, thought I best take a photo whilst it is clean for 5 minutes.

Take care

It Got Better

Well after a little setback earlier in the week - re last post and a couple of other little things, the rest of my week got better. Lorraine one of my great work mates left us on Friday, however the celebrations begun on Wednesday - and I am not too sad that she is leaving us, because we are also friends outside of work so we will see each other again. The building Manager and his off sider took us for lunch on Wednesday to Belle Epoque Cafe in the Emporium and let me tell you I had the best Peppered Eye Fillet you can imagine, melt in your mouth moment. check out the link http://www.belleepoque.com.au/ and if your ever in the Valley, its a must visit. Lorraine and I enjoyed it so much that we went back on Friday for lunch on her last day, that was after the scrumptious farewell morning tea we held for her. After work we all headed to the Fringe Bar for Drinks, http://www.fringebar.net.au/ than onto the Lunar Lounge on James http://www.lunarlounge.com.au/ what a great night was had by all, thanks guys for making me laugh, Lorraine its not goodbye its see you later, you are such a wonderful person and I look forward to many many more BBQ's, outings and great times. Hope everyone had a great week and here's to an even better one heading your way.

Final Moments

On Tuesday night I received a call to let me know a dear person who I used to work with had died, from a very short battle with cancer. Yep he only found out not to long before Christmas, and it started with a cough, just a simple little cough, that wouldn't go away. My heart immediately went out to the family for their sudden and sad loss. Ray you were a husband, a father, a grandfather, a son, a brother, a cousin, a uncle. Most of all you were a great friend a wonderful person with a great sense of humor, a gentle and caring soul. Ray, you will truly be missed by so many, however you will always be remembered for what you gave.

It really amazes me that there are so many people out there that are struggling to hold on to their life, to their last breath, to the ones they cherish, they have so much strength and courage. Than their are people that just hold on to the small and insurmountable things that at the end of the day, really don't matter really are uninportant and yet they feel the need to squabble and fight over those things. It is at times like this, that always makes us reflect on life, what is important to us, to our families and our friends, what makes us happy and the people around us happy. Take the time to say I love you............its important, and don't worry about the little things. Life is way to short.
