It’s time to stop complaining!
This weekend I had a massive wake up call, with a bed ridden partner thanks to a delightful virus and an energetic five year old I found myself exhausted and run down complaining about anything and everything. Around four wash loads in and my list of jobs getting longer by the second I took a step back, just a minute and realised what I was doing it for.
Eight year old me dreamed of this; a family, a home, jobs to do like cleaning and food shopping and pets. I looked around almost with a new set of eyes. I decided I needed to be grateful and see positivity in the mundane and daily tasks.
So today I started fresh, set my alarm two hours earlier than normal. I got up and went to the gym, ate breakfast (something I never manage to do), washed up, cleaned the kitchen, cleaned the cats litter tray and food bowls and did some general life admin all before 9am.
Today is only day one and I’m not naïve, it isn’t going to be easy but I can say I feel ready to take on the world!

Nowhere to go
Flying in winter season can be quite challenging, but sometimes destiny can exceed all expectations. Coming back from Toronto to Brazil a month ago things looked smooth at first sight; I went through immigration, customs and was relaxing in the lounge waiting for a connecting flight to the USA.

Living in South Africa
Arriving for the first time and as a well-travelled individual, the first thing I noticed is that it looked remarkably familiar...but different. This is the same kind of initial impression I had when I first visited Australia and New Zealand. The common theme here of course is that these countries are all part of the Commonwealth and part of their legacies are very similar indeed.
Security and Violence in South Africa are well-documented topics on the worldwide news. The first drive away from the airport revealed a landscape with houses and heavy electric fencing, a very unusual sight.
