Patience is bitter, but it's fruit is Sweet.

This grape vine sat patiently in its pot  for nearly four years.   I patiently waited for the time I could plant it in the ground.  Patience bears fruit.  It is happy and is now twice the size it is here pictured above.

"I complained that I had no shoes until I met a man who had no feet."

I was fortunate to learn this proverb in primary school and I have never forgotten its deep meaning.

Western NSW Coal Mines where once there was beautiful forest.

When you understand big mining today, you very quickly begin to hate it because of the the damage it causes that cannot possibly be repaired.  Sacred beautiful forests bulldozed never to be seen again.

They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself!

~ Andy Warhol ~

There was no point staying in the valley where I grew all my children up. I changed this, Brice and I bought a house in the country and now I don't see the ghosts anymore because there is no history here to remind me.   A hard decision, but it was worth it because I have real peace here with Brice and the animals and Montana-Star and Anaan doing great with their lives just down the hill at the coast. 

I have ticked a few off the old bucket list since coming up high where I could breathe.  I have seen snow and I have learned to use a coffee machine while at Kraft group at the Cafe and Ducks... I have never had ducks before, chickens yes and now we have three ducks.   I have also had so many roses to pick because now I have so many rose bushes!  I felt so absolutely blessed by this.  My grapevine is in the ground and loving it.  Brice and I go bush walking to see the rocks. Everywhere not far from home there are magnificent rocks to see and we both love rocks, so it works.

We moved to the Tablelands and I finally saw snow!

Tread lightly always, hush now.  I tried the hardest I could with what I had.  I did my very best everyday.  I loved my children with all of my heart and soul even when life was awkward and difficult, probably more so then.  It never once changed how I felt about them.

  My life is no longer like this, awkward and difficult.  We always have enough and I don't have to live in fear of what drama is around the corner because Brice is as stable as an Earthquake proof house, I never feel insecure with him.  

I have seen some amazing places and met some sensational people since I moved on.  Life is very different and finally I am in a place where peace can bring about healing the parts of my soul that others damaged when I had no choice.   Part of my soul is missing and its difficult to accept it can't be mended by anything I can do.

  Was it me or was their father?  It was both of us together.  We never seemed to be on the same page looking forward.  But we loved our children - pity that a couple of them can't come to terms with this.

The Dawning Sun

I never thought in an eternity the love which I had for my only son would be seen as not good enough and that he would no longer love me or act as though he didn't.  It is a reality I have to accept each day when I look at the dawning sun.  I look at the sun in honour of my son.  He was the light of my life.
