Life Events

Well, you may be wondering why no posts from me for over one month..
to be brutally honest, my life is falling apart, or at least it seems that way to me..
Just basic point form so you know the deal..



My mother has terminal cancer and is going through the hell of chemo and won't even consider any alternative( i know, her choice)

My son, who is 8, has been medevaced interstate for an emergency operation on his bowel, as he had an obstuction.(and i couldn't go with him as i have a 2 year old to care for as well, and it took 3 weeks for him to heal enough to get back here), he just got back.

We had to move house,( last weekend) to somewhere smaller, different and away from our neighbourhood where i have  lived for the past 6 years.

And now Mr A13 has gone to work "offshore" for 5 days at least during all of this "change" and stress, and it's been one thing after another, in very quick succession ,so hence no blog....

I will be back and up and running when i feel that the universe is done messing with me and mine..
Thanks to my readers who keep checking the blog, and i will be back when things have subsided a bit and i feel like a human being again, not stressed out, maxed out, and pushed to the point of just getting each day done without failing those that depend on me.

So again, dear friends in blog land, i'm hanging in there, and i'm sure you know when there is a cascade of shit happening it truly does get overwhelming...and i am there.
Be back soon, if there is anything any of you would like to see written about give me a link and i'll see where it takes me..
All the best to you all
Cheers A13

Hey A13, life is what it is. You never know what is coming your way. Things will get better. I hope you will get back to the blog land soon. I really missed you.

Hi HBM, I've missed you too :)

Hi Aangirfan, by the luck of birth i'm 13, as i'm born on the 13th day...so i guess i have to take all that the 13 offers, good and bad :)maybe i can be the 101st monkey?

Hi Ray, thanks for dropping by and for your well wishes, I'm reminding myself that this will pass, but i feel like a kid on a slow road trip...I'm sure you know how it is :) cheers.

Hi AFerrisMoon :)
Thanks also for your kind thoughts and hopefully we'll get cozied up in this new place and it will be like a new begining of sorts and maybe usher in some positive vibes and energy. I'm hoping a change of scenery will have a motivational effect on my blogging ;)

Cheers A13

Hey A
glad your son is back and recuperating

Things will settle down.

You know that saying
"what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger"
You will gain some strength from this
Likely you have already
take care

Hullo A13,

Yeah, stress is hell isn't it? It's been a while since I haven't been stressed. But you know, the only certainty is change and soon enough whatever it is you're going through will become a series of funny anecdotes you'll tell at a barbecue. Anyway mate, hang in there, it will get better.

that heavy black cloud
shrank to a squeaky balloon
that made the kids laugh

Hey Nobs, thanks for popping in and leaving that tasty liitle haiku :) that put a smile on the dial and it's only first coffee.
Cheers A

Dear A13

I've just read your post. WOW! I offer you my LOVE and SYMPATHY. Something that REALLY works for me is imagining light, and putting it around yourself, your situation and the people you love and want to help. If you are stressed it is not easy, but if you try it - first of all it may seem as if nothing is happening, but soon you will find changes. I got this from reading the books of Sanaya Roman and if you go to her website www.orindaben.com you will find some short free meditations. Try some of this and let us know if it helped you.



Much love from John

Hullo there dear John,
Thank you so much for your advice and comment :)
I do try to meditate when i can and i usually find it easier outside in nature, even in the backyard, so i do make time to try it.
I will check out that website though, and thanks again for popping in, always good to see you here.
Cheers A13
