You know, my mom always told me that those who can enjoy good food can enjoy life. I believe she's right :)
And you really are stronger than you think!!! Good list. It's OK for it to be all about you, b/c it IS all about you! (mostly)
Amanda - yes, true.
Kira - Oh - a person's taste in food says so much about them.
Laura - I have to keep telling myself that. x And yeah, mostly. :-)
hey there!
not checked ur blog in ages, sounds like u've been really busy!
it's great to hear ur hubby's doing well, God-willing his recovery will be complete...
and u're coming to the end of ur phd!!! i jst handed my uni dissertation in on tuesday, which felt like Such a huge burden, so i can imagine finishing ur phd must be like light at the end of a verrrry long tunnel - good luck!!
and as to ur office rant & the extract abt moving on - im really crap at that too. im still getting over being royally screwed over last september - most depressing... but gotta roll with the punches i guess.
it's like that song in the Lion King 'there's a calm surrended/ if they only learn/ that the twist in the kaleidoscope moves us all in turn'...
