Funny Thoughts On Life

Just a leaf on a tree

As we move through life we cross paths with many confusing emotions. We ask questions that have no answers, left helpless, sometimes blaming ourselves and other times blaming the circumstances. Finding answers and solutions can be much like entering a maze, usually resulting in more confusion and frustration than before. 

In a realm of restlessness we need to take time to sit still, look around and observe, stop over thinking. We are in many ways like leaves on a tree, one of many. One day a strong blow pulls us from the tree, moving us helplessly in the direction of the wind, for the first time feeling alone, unknowing of where we are or where we're headed. A leaf moves in definite proportion with the wind, without seeking for a clarification it simply moves along. 

This is life.

Sometimes we don't need to have an answer. Instead move on, don't stop and ask for directions. Life will take us where it wants to, it won't ask for permission. How we deal with it is completely up to us.

Some problems just don't have solutions, in fact some problems are not even problems. Rather, they are facts not to be solved. We just need to adjust with them as the time passes by.

Just as a leaf reaches its destination, we too will reach somewhere while moving along with the flow of life. 

Just let it be......

No Regrets... Just Lessons Learned

The saddest summary of life contains three descriptions: could have, might have, and should have."

We all have something stored in our memory banks of the past that we wish we could have done differently, or something we wish we didn’t do.

As we get older we learn and grow. But that doesn’t mean we have to regret what we did before we learned how to do things differently. 

If we didn’t go through those experiences we might not have grown into the strong and knowledgeable people we are today.

If we live life regretting we will never be happy.

We forget, it's OK to make mistakes. We fall down and get back up. If we never make mistakes we'll never know right from wrong. 

So you screwed up, so what? It’s not the end of the world is it? The Earth will still be in orbit, the sun will still set and rise and you will still wake up every morning with another day to live.  

Find humour in life, stop looking at the world so seriously.

Relax and go with the flow, live life unafraid of change. 

Embrace what you already have instead of thinking about what you don't have. 

Be Bold. Find the courage to change things that should be changed and accept that there are some things that cannot be changed.

Life is too short to be anything but happy!

Relationships.... the latest trend?

Maybe its that I never stopped to notice or because I have jumped on the newly single band wagon, but I cant help but notice the number of couples in this little city of Townsville. With valentines day just around the corner I had an idea that my girlfriends and I would spend a night in celebration of being 'without male' and happy... but to our dismay the party would be quite a small one, it turns out there aren't many single fish in the pond any more. 


I believe sometimes people drift in and out of relationships because they feel the need to "belong" to another, or a need to "be" with someone. Oftentimes, when we choose relationships based on fear of being alone, or because we feel we "need" to be with another, we bounce back and forth between relationships, never realizing what we actually want. Its almost a pressure that we should be on the search for that special someone, especially when you find yourself sitting on your own at a dinner party with all your coupled friends.
 
Sometimes its better to take a moment or maybe to actually spend time alone, figuring out what "our" needs are before we jump into relationships with overblown expectations or another person. Until we feel at ease with ourselves, we cannot feel comfortable with another person.....Not everyone was meant for marriage, and not everyone was meant for a relationship.

chronicles of the hangover

A hangover is never fun, I had a not so friendly reminder of the feeling today...that feeling of why did I have that last round of shots or that last drink or the ever so hangover promising of mixing alcohols.  "Heck why not mix vodka and rumba?" "I feel sick but if I'm not paying for the drink I can't say no!" "Water is for weaklings."

Didn't feel so wise today did I!

No-one sets out on a night with friends to be sick the next day. It happens sometimes and the times that it hits so bad that you go from couch to bed, to bathroom and back to bed frequently in one day brings on that self promise of “I will never do this again” which we all know is a lie but it somehow makes us feel better that moment.

I on the other hand slept til after lunch, attempted some food, moaned on the couch in self pity, made no sudden movements for fear of a projectile vomit, tried curing the hangover with a swim and salt and vinegar chips....failed miserably, threw up in the garden and crawled back to bed! bringing us to dinner time...What a way to spend your Sunday right? When the texts rolled in suggesting 'Sunday sesh'  the thought alone of alcohol made me nauseated. NO THANKYOU

We know at some point we will do it all over again, not intentionally, but it will happen as we are living the moment and enjoying the ride.I sure as hell know the last thing on my mind when I'm ordering that last drink is...it will be coming out tomorrow the same way it went in!

I know for a fact I have one more day of recovery before Cheap Tuesday slash Australia day celebrations begining casual beverages around about lunch-o-clock.

So dear friends, if you plan on killing your liver you might aswell do it with company, come and join us at the palace :-)

The beauties and the Uglies of the horrid stick-on Bra!

Such a clever invention, something every girl has tucked away in her underwear stash...

At some point we come to face the question, bra or no bra?

For some a stick on bra is a means of keeping them perky... no body likes to hang a little south!

For others not so blessed with "breasts" stick on bras are a mean of 'faking it til you make it.'

There has been other little goodies for dresses or tops intended for no bra, hollywood tape and of course the nipple shapers. I personally find the idea of nude stickers on your nipples rather strange, I mean imagine getting your kit off right before you get down and dirty, forget the old one handed bra unclipping trick, just rip them bad boys off and your set to go... hahaha.

I for the first time in months required the help of my trusty stick on's today, and for the first time in months I remembered why I had been avoiding them. The moment I get hot or sweaty I become extremely paranoid that at any minute they will slip right off in which case there can be a few scenarios, they fall down my chest and I end up with the four boob look.. I lose one side and i have 3 boobs... or they fall out completely and I'm left explaining why a clear pair of chicken fillets fell out of my dress and onto the floor to my work mates or a customer. Issue number 2.. They are a B*&^% to pull off, at one point I actually had to check my nipples were still attatched to my body!

Despite my annoyance I know I will turn to them again some day soon, beauty is pain after all!

Expect the Unexpected

If you expect the unexpected then you will never be suprised...

We have it in our heads that in order to find something, we must look for it. Of course if your in a rush for work and you can't find your car keys your not exactly going to wait for them to just 'show up'...But obviously thats not what I'm referring to, I'm talking in the sense of opportunity.

Opportunities come and go, only we can decide alone when to take them, the first challenge is recognition. Once we have recognized it, their comes a choice. We often let great opportunities slip through our fingers because we are not ready for them, or simply out of fear of change. Taking a chance may alter your life's path and not knowing where you'll end up, for some, is a rather daunting thought. 

I believe I have reached a crossroad in my life. An opportunity has presented itself, I could have very well ignored it because it came up when I wasn't looking for it. Good or bad I am still yet to decide. In order to find that out however, I'm going to have to take a risk... which brings me back to my first statement, when you don't know what to expect, expect the unexpected. 

I'm optimistic about change, change is a little something I have not yet grown tired of, in fact I'm quite excited by it. Am I ready for it? I would like to think so. What will be the outcome? No one knows, only way to find out is walk the new path set out for me.
