The Climb

February 12th, 2010

This is my favourite song at the moment. The lyrics say it all.

I can almost see it
That dream I am dreaming
But there’s a voice inside my head saying
“You’ll never reach it”

Every step I’m taking
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking

But I gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high

There’s always gonna be another mountain
I’m always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I’m gonna have to lose

Ain’t about how fast I get there
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb

The struggles I’m facing
The chances I’m taking
Sometimes might knock me down
But no, I’m not breaking

I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I’m gonna remember most, yeah
Just gotta keep going

And I, I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on

‘Cause there’s always gonna be another mountain
I’m always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I’m gonna have to lose

Ain’t about how fast I get there
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb, yeah!

I remember

February 12th, 2010

The title makes me sound ancient…but yes I remember when looking for a rental property meant going to the real estate picking up a list and then telling them you are interested in a certain property. They then would take your drivers license and hand over the key so that you could go and inspect a property. If you like it you submit your application and if not you repeat the procedure for other properties.

Now you need to submit interest either online or by phone. Then you wait ….They then inform you of an inspection date, usually a few days to a week away. So you turn up for inspections with about half a million other people. If you are not interested…..you go back home and repeat the cycle.

I have a gripe as it takes so much longer to find a place and you are dependent on other peoples schedules etc. In the meantime you could be living on the streets before you find a home….there has got to be a better way.

Looking for a theme that I like

February 10th, 2010

You will notice if you are a regular visitor that the theme is constantly changing. I am looking for a theme that I like. Must have something to do with the restlessness I feel at the moment. So when you come back just say “Oh she changed it AGAIN”. I will find a theme one day and say …this is it. Until then…

Maintenance finished

February 10th, 2010

I had to return back ups of my databases as my server was moved …I also changed my theme…to suit my mood for now. Some posts after December last year are missing but they weren’t important. However I will re post them as soon as I have time. My main aim was to get the website up and functioning as soon as possible. Ok that is it for now

End of 2009

December 12th, 2009

I changed the theme for a little Christmas cheer. It has sprung up on me so suddenly don’t know if I can handle Christmas this year. We don’t even have a tree. Will do better next year
