Life Throws a Curve Ball!
A small curve ball! Ok so recently I had one of those curb balls that life throws at you some times – every things going along well when all of a sudden things change! We all have them from time to to time and they come in all shapes and sizes. Mine came in the shape of a suspected Minor Stroke (TIA). Now this sounds kinda scary but it wasn’t really (at least not for me!), its not until you take time to reflect on what could of been that you realise how scary it really was. This is how it unfolded, a couple of weekends ago as we were getting ready to go out for my running club annual dinner, I lost sight out of my right eye. I was sitting in the kitchen chatting to Simon and my dad when it suddenly felt as if I’d been staring at something bright...
Peace
This is our place for two nights! Lovely spot at Hawley beach.. Our daughter rang when we got here to say she’d had her 1st car accident and written off the car! Tears where flowing as shock set in.. We left the 3 younger kids with their aunty & younger kids and traveled back to Launceston to meet Nicola in the hospital – another hour in the car.. We picked up nik went to the car yard to check out the car and took Nikki to her grandmothers and finally headed back here to ‘really’ start our 2 day break! Today started with news that a friend had lost her husband yesterday, just 4 months after she lost her son (we have been thinking about Lisa and her kids all day!). Then Nikki’s accident and all the driving, well we really...
Love where you live!
After a few hours ‘starting’ to clean out the spare room, it’s time to sit, have a glass of wine and ‘love where we live’ I hope you love where you live AND take time to appreciate it? X
A weekend of sugar
I still haven’t recovered from 2 days of gingerbread house constructing, however all the hard work has been worth it! The kids have not stopped smiling, even the ones who’s roofs caved in are smiling – mind you even a generous sprinkle of icing sugar didn’t hide what appeared to be the result of a major earthquake! It certainly feels like Christmas around here with lots of gingerbread and lollies! The run to Christmas has started in the frost household and I don’t think anything could stop it now
What are you running away from?
That is what my mum used to say to me when I 1st started running almost 18 years ago.. When I’m pounding the pavement/road or track, I often think of this question from my mum. I like to think of myself as a ‘glass half full’ kind of person so instead of saying I’m running away from things I’d prefer to say I’m running towards things! So here goes: instead of running away from a crap marriage all those years ago, I’d say I was running to a much better one!, instead of saying I was running away from my 99 kilos of baby fat, I’d say I was running into the new healthier me, instead of saying I was running away from things that make me unhappy, I would say I run because it makes me happy… Now isn’t that a
Just Because
