Being Accountable

I haven't been feeling very well for the past few days and think I need to take some time and rest up.  I probably won't be coming online at all for at least a few days (maybe more if my health worsens) but have been thinking about the following and wanted to get it on my blog before I forget all about it.

"We have to learn to be our own best friends because we fall too easily 
into the trap of being our own worst enemies." 
 ~Roderick Thorp, Rainbow Drive

I've come to realise that I probably rely on others too much.  It's around this time every year that I start to think about my resolutions for the new year.  I've done this for so many years and I never seem to achieve any of the goals I set for myself.  I've given it a lot of thought and do believe it's because I always ask Brian to help me to achieve my goals

Let's be honest.  What it all boils down to is excuses.  However, now that I realise where my problem lies I can set about and do things to try and change the way I deal with things and approach my resolutions.

Yes, I shall once again give myself resolutions for the new year but I will make them myself and I will carry them out myself.  No asking for help anymore. 

I need to be accountable to only one person ... ME!

"You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself in any direction you choose.
You're on your own.
And you know what you know.
You are the guy who'll decide where to go."

~Dr. Seuss

Random Photos

Two old photos and a new one :)


Jade and Steph - November 2009 ~ at a party



Jade and Aaron.  I think this was taken about 3 years ago (just look at his eyes LOL)



Jade's 18th (2008) ~ Jade







Bored - photos of Jade taken 4 December 2009

A couple of days ago (4 December) Jade was bored so she took some photos using her webcam.  She sent them to me and of course, like all mums, I have to share them. She certainly does look pretty bored LOL


Jade's Engagement Ring

You're engaged...
For all of your lives,
May you find in each other

The friend of your heart...
The joy of your world...
The love of your life!



Here are a couple of photos of Jade's engagement ring.  My photos don't do it justice ... it's even prettier in real life.  It's white gold with diamonds along the two sides of the band and a solitaire diamond in the middle.  The solitaire is inlaid so if she knocks her hand or the ring, it will be very hard to dislodge the diamond.   

It's the perfect ring for her and really suits her hand.  She adores it and it means even more to her because Aaron went alone and chose the ring.
