The last time I posted was before the beginning of this year I think.
I've been keeping a hand written journal which is lovely but I've been missing my blog!
I've had a brilliant year. There are so many gaps to fill but I might as well yap on about the here, now and future!
I'm living with Mother Dearest, brothers and Step-Fayther Jim at home in our wee hometown.
I am loving life just now and I'm pretty "sorted" from now until December...
At the moment I'm working in a petrol station 16 hours a week, organising gigs for kids through work at the High School and volunteering, helping to run a Youth Club on a Friday night. In between all the mayhem of regular life I'm singing most weekends - yay! Doing exactly all the great things I feel are right for me at the moment. I must admit that working in a petrol station is probably not where I expected to be at 20... When I was in School there was so much pressure to be an academic genius and fire right into University but the truth is "square pegs don't fit in round holes"... You can't be an artist and survive like they did in the 1970's either - those days are over but you can keep your day job and still follow your dreams!
I wondered what would happen after this December and I was talking to a friend the other day that said, "Sometimes you can have so many options and it's like sitting in a room full of doors just staring..."
I concluded it with, "Some doors only open when you give them a push."
I have a cousin in Australia that I've never met. Her name is Merryn and we've been speaking for the past year. I'm getting to meet her for the first time ever this Christmas as she's coming across the world for a visit and an adventure!
Note to self: The piggy bank is your friend.
Let the journey begin.
