2008 Goals

It's been a very busy week and an upsetting one too. My 17 year old niece was held up at gunpoint at the local video shop where she worked on Sunday evening. It was in the news - Click here to read more. Naturally, Skye is very traumatised and won't be returning to work and she will also need to attend counselling for victims of crime. I feel so angry that someone has done this to my niece but, as with Michelle's car accident, we are trying to be positive and are grateful that it wasn't worse. Sometimes, it's so easy to take things for granted but it's moments like these that put into perspective how precious life is and how it can all change in a heartbeat.

On another note, I have finally done up my 2008 Goals list. I'm going to print it out and post it on the corkboard in my room so I am reminded daily of my goals. I plan to start focusing on my goals from the beginning of February as, currently, Aaron is on school holidays so we have lots of stuff happening.


Michelle came over to visit today and is still very sore and tender from the accident. We had a nice day together though.

I can't believe how fast the school holidays have gone....the kids go back to school next week!! My baby will be in Grade Four!

Great Egret - Stage Three - Work In Progress (Final?)

It's been just over a week since I've posted to my blog. What a slacker I've been....well, not really, I've had a rough time of it with my eyes. They have been feeling very sore and strained since I set up the three computers so I haven't been able to stare at a monitor screen for too long because the glare starts causing my eyes to water. Thankfully, they are getting better, albeit slowly.

Today, I think I finished the Egret art card. See Stage Two here. I'm not sure if I'll tweak it a little more yet.
