Another day... Check-up Day

Today is check-up day... I need to get to the doctor just to re-evaluate my health status. I try and do it once every 6 months - as people always say: You can't put a price on your health...

 

Recently we've had the kids and cousins quite sick. My brother's youngest, Cody, even had to go for a quick operation on this nose / sinus. My little one, Jordan, had issues with her mouth... its all making you think about what they mean to you - and if you'll always be there for them in future!

 

Then I'm thinking of following up on my project ride - which isn't really getting anywhere - my 1971 Datsun P510 1600. It needs a lot of work, but I love it so much I can perhaps invest some time (and money) in it. Believe it or not, I even thought of selling her recently.

 

But whatever I decide, or the doctor says: I'm going to be positive and not let anything stand in my way from here on end.

 

Be blessed!

Keeping me busy

It looks like I've found a couple of things (interests) to keep my busy... or should I say - focussed. All just not to go through life with the same routine... need change... constantly... I easily fall within that mould, no hole! And I must say, I'm loving it...

First off, I've been giving some of my time voluntary to assist a trust assisting with study bursaries. Have invested a few hours, trying to give some of my "skills." Then I've also started another blog on one of my loves... the Datsun brand of vehicle. New release scheduled for this coming Monday - refer http://goo.gl/cBWdk.

Next, I should re-invest a lot of time into my kids... especially my son, aged 16. Seems when I have a new interest, I focus all of my energy there. Should find a middle ground somehow.. and soon. For the sake of myself, and my family.

Trusting you find yourself soon...

Time to reflect

?

1 July 2013... That's today's date... I almost can't believe that 6 months have passed in this year! SIX MONTHS! This is  a good time to reflect... Where has the year gone? Its quickly running its race towards year-end...  And now I ask myself... what have I achieved so far?

Me that's stuck in my routine... going nowhere, slowly, encircling the sun as the Earth journeys aorund it effecting change of seasons... and I have nothing of value to show... or do I?

What have I wanted to achieve this year? Can't purely be to see the Year End? To survive the rat-race? Didn't I set about to make a change in myself and thus hopefully bring a small change to my family & friends, colleagues, etc?? Or is this too much to ask of myself?

I think there's still a lot that I can do... That's why re-examining its so crucial, its key - 'cause we can adapt! So I'm making a decision today - I'll achieve all of my goals this year... Let's re-align ourselves once again... change is good... but perfecting life is better!  ;-)
