Brencoot,
Great to hear from you!I am good.Been working on job applications,swimming and stay on top of the game, I guess.Re work,there are rejections and today I had my first YES for an interview,so I am very happy about it:-) I feel ready to start my next journey, Brencoot. For a while,I was just not interested in doing anything, but now I am ready to get out and be in the real world again if you know I mean? I have been very lucky in my life with the work that I have had, the friends and family that I have. I am forever grateful. Now I am ready for my next chapter,time to be me and live the life that I want. I am fortunate to give the chance to be in this world, and I want to make the most out of it. Yes,I am not on tablet for my D, and I am learning each day to have a healthy life. Yes,I have had rough time in my life, but I also have good time in my life as well.I am ready to work again,and live my life again,,and I have been feeling so happy today just imagine myself travelling again,having the body that dream of, and the work that I love, not to mention the great family and friends to share the life with:-) It is good to dream,isn’t it?

Well,there is cyclone coming to QLD tonight, and QLD is just so not lucky this year. No, I don’t have any family and friends living up that way, so that’s good. I myself have never been to that part of QLD, but it looks pretty scary due to the scale of the Cyclone. I put my details down with QLD emergency service if they need any volunteers there. Hope the cyclone is not as bad as it is predicted. Weather has been crazy here - NSW extreme heat, QLD & VIC - natural disasters:-0

Yeah,I was disppointed about the man’s Australian Open final, and I only watched a little bit. Nadal and Federer - I adore them, without them in the game, I lost my interest. On the other hand,female final was quite interesting - Chinese player Li Na made it to the final for the first time, and that was pretty cool to watch. It is always good to see some new comers, I suppose.

How have you been?Are you still exercising?I am keeping it up with the swim, and hope to shed my kilos from my effort. It is going well, and I am doing it

As for talking to my mum, the answer is NO. It doesn’t help if I talk to her,so I just don’t bother.Not sure if it is the right approach,but that’s just the way it is. I know deep down inside we have strong love for each other, and that’s what it matters.

It is the Chinese NYE today, and there are posters and celebrations everywhere in Sydney. I love multiculturalism. Wish you and your wife and all your loved ones a very happy new year:-)

Take care, and thank you for your support and encouragement,Brencoot! You are an amazing person:-)

Hope

Hello Hope, how are you? I saw that you posted recently that you are feeling very down again. Did something in particular happen to put you down? Are you starting to feel a bit better again? I hope it was just a short down feeling and that you have managed to turn your feeling around again. It is a hard time for you in many ways now cos you are going through lots of changes, like trying to change your job, but it could be the start of something great, so I hope you can manage to pick yourself and push on.

I’m really sorry that I haven’t been on here for a while, but I’ve been trying to sort things out for myself and trying to get some things going, although it’s going to be very hard to make it work, and I’m still not very confident that it will work. All we can do is try though, isn’t it?

I really hope that you are OK Hope. I don’t know whether you’ll feel like coming on here to read and reply to messages, but if you can, I’d love to know how you are doing.

Don’t give up Hope. In your last post to me it really seemed like you wanted to push on to the next chapter of your life, and I really hope that you can push on and find a very interesting and fun chapter of your life.
