"Time will pass and seasons will come and go."


I'm away this weekend, as my book club takes it's annual road trip. We are heading to a cyclone destroyed beach. Hoping the food makes it back to the supermarkets for the people up there.

So comments may be MIA or not until next week.

I've been given the medical all clear to have the occasional drink - so a magnum with friends was in order! (There were 10 of us, less than 2 glasses each - still being boringly responsible)

Seasonal wild flowers and rainy sunrises are the season we are in it seems. Yet still better than Cyclone season.


#Allseasons linky runs from Thursday to Wednesday each week. 

Link one post that shows something seasonal. Traditional weather wise, a seasonal nature marker or a seasonal celebration. 

Make sure you link back to this  #AllSeasons post. 

Please comment on the post before yours and the host. Don't dump and run. 

You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!

“I am still making order out of chaos by reinvention” ― John le Carre

We are constantly changing. There's a problem if we are not. We should be learning new things and gaining greater understanding and if we are fixed to the knowledge we thought we once had, we never grow.

So we are constantly reinventing ourselves.

Sometimes by choice, think about how your musical taste might have changed over the years?

Sometimes by force, the arrival of children, a divorce, a death. We are forced to reinvent our whole lives, even though we had intellectually nailed that life as our permanent one.

You are allowed to reinvent yourself as often as you need. As I wrote here, these new beginnings slip by unheralded.  You just keep marching forward and look back to see you climbed a mountain.

I saw this quote yesterday, and I think it's the most positive reason to reinvent yourself as you need to. "If you do not swim with the person you are becoming, you will drown under the weight of who you used to be".

If you don't like an aspect of your life, including who you are, work to change it. Reinvent yourself, follow that ridiculous dream, make the world the way it should be.

"At its core, reinvention is inextricably linked to hope: the hope that we can find another way, take another shape.” ― Vivek Shraya, People Change

Race season

It's finally back!

I'm a little off all the driver line ups and rookies - no idea why, just a bit meh about it all so not listened to the off season podcasts like I usually do.

I need them to start racing to get hyped again...

Though seeing these as I walked out of Melbourne airport made me smile.

I'm not booked for Singapore because we were going to do a reno. Now we don't have the money for that so I'm eyeing off if I try and go. Elton John definitely adds to the appeal....
