Thought you might like a preview of the Singular Living look… Need to spend some time writing the articles to post now…
Dragging my heels… and watching tv…
Is it Really Possible that Anything is Possible?
I have never been able to decide whether it is my rural background, my upbringing or my personality that has limited me over the years. I expect that a lot of the time it was low self esteem that made it look as though any sort of dream to achieve anything was futile and would only lead to failure and frustration. In fact, I am not even sure that I was any sort of dreamer as a child at all…
What did I want to be when I grew up? A nurse, because Mum was… never a thought given to what a nurse does – eeewwww (no disrespect Jack… in fact, molto respecto… really.)
What was I good at? Ummmmm ….regurgitating useless information…..
What was I encouraged to do? Quick, get a job, somewhere safe… (a bank! GAH!)
The fact is I am a rather creative creature… As a young’n I was encouraged to grow in areas that are less than creative because they were apparently safer… And as such, it is only now that I have been able to look at myself in any kind of creative light! And I’m 36 years old!!!
So now, having been encouraged to grow in one area and learning another I find myself with a unique sort of skill set and it is proving quite exciting to see where it can all go… You see, over the weekend I have been approached by two acquaintances who are interested in having me build websites for them! All this at the same time that I have been building my own, my first one from scratch.
I am far from experienced and have so much to learn but it seems that there are a large number of people in my group of friends who are finding out that the sky is the limit and the only thing that gets in the way is our perception of ourselves and our capabilities…
That and cash…
Attack of the Killer Computer
I think I might have a black eye tomorrow and if anyone asks, as I cannot tell a lie, I am going to have to say my computer hit me.
It’s true.
Tonight I choose to blog from a prone position on the sofa so I shouldn’t be surprised that said instrument isn’t quite so stable on my lap as it would be were it on the desk. Here I was, with one eye on the TV and the other on the blogs of the day.. and before you know it *Thwack* Dell is leaping off the lap and onto my face.
In actual fact, the circumstances surrounding Dell leaping off my lap and into my face were complete distraction at the prospect of Bliss having a tantrum.
Now, you must understand that this is monumental. Bliss wasn’t actually HAVING a tantrum, she was simply TALKING about it… This whole prospect is so startling because Bliss is the NICEST person I have ever met, a phlegmatic in the truest sense of the word and totally lovely, the kind of girl who makes one feel like a complete b*tch in comparison.
She has to go to work tonight and do a night shift and clearly is not in the mood to leave the house late at night and in the rain.
However, having decided that it is pointless having a tantrum she gave up on the prospect leaving me disappointed, I think a Bliss tantrum would be quite the spectacular finish to her time in the flat…
By the way, if you have a moment, could you offer up a prayer? Bliss will be gone in a week to 10 days and the girl I thought was going to replace her bailed today… “Not Happy Jan”
Oooh Hasn’t it Been a Good Day
Well, as if a published article wasn’t exciting enough for one day I finally have the go ahead to pack my files up and make the big move to the IT dept.
Thank the Living Lord… It has been a flippin’ long 2 weeks… And the worst kept secret at church/work!
So, I am officially, as of Tuesday, the web administrator @ “—”
I could have a more salubrious title I think but I believe before you can turn around I will have winkled my way into the title of Supreme Potentate of Web Publishing…
Or something…
