My ideal office

I have been thinking about it for a while, but still a little sketchy on the details. What would be my dream office? What would make it so great?

1. to have a garden around the outside  of the office space, where you are allowed to spend time tending to the vegetable patches and plants.
2. has a kitchen where we cook communal meals
3. tables and chairs on the roof to sit and watch the city skyline.
4. Mandatory bright colourful crazy clothing to be warn in office.

Hmm that’s all for now. I would like to add to this list.

what is your ideal workplace? what would make it so great? Are you working a dream job?

out in the garden

I like to spend time out in my garden, mowing the laws, weeding the plants and playing with my dog. I feel I can think when I am out there, I can breath, and also I feel as though whatever was bothering me seem to shrink.

Out there between to ferns,

I feel the hot sun, I feel it burn,

My gloves shielding me from the dirt and my sun hat from the sun,

My mind races, and plunders over a sea of thoughts that race over me,

on this very hot, sun afternoon,

I think about business, university, life, death and love,

I think about clutter, uncluttering this garden,

untangling the yard and my thoughts at the same time,

I can not change my situation in one afternoon,

but I can change how I think and feel, and react,

to the magical world I live in.

 

Do you have a place or activity that gives you space? A place that makes your big problems small? Do you enjoy gardening?

what I am grateful for today

This is a daily routine I do, post a list of things that I am grateful for. This list is posted for two reasons. For me to notice, reflect and appreciate the good things I have in my life, and also to inspire others to think about the good things that they have in there life. 🙂

1. that I have many friends that want to spend time with me
2. That I have people in my life who are interested in similar things to me
3. That is is so easy to access a wide variety of ingredients to cook with
4. That my cooking skills have expanded and I am able to cook a variety of dishes
5. That I have so much to look forward to with designing and social functions
6. I have pets that want to play with me and I can spend time with while I am at home alone.

seated under a tree

I have sat down on the edge of a hill under an overhanging tree, the leaves sway in the breeze as I write this, pondering in the shade.

Moving out feels akward. As I still have a life here. But my bed is too bulky to move on my own. If I am to shift it I will have to do it with a bigger car and a second pare of hands. But if I do this today that means I have no where to sleep for the next two days. If I thought this through better I would have kept my yoga mats here that way I could have used them as bedding for the next two days. I should remember that next time. I wish my matress was lighter and could bend more easily. Then moving house would not have been such a chore.

Sometimes I feel so self confident. And then once I start showing down, I crave the attention of the opposite sex. I need a message, a chat to let me know I am still worth something. But how do I fix this self doubt and lonesomeness? Get back on the work wagon, do the things I love and make it happen.

Now that the school year is over I have time to think. And I think to myself, what did I do all of that year? I studied most of it. Worked every day off and some days clashed. I went through a few partners, one was around for the most part. Hiked around a mountain, went to a week long hippie festival. But at the same time it does not seem like a lot. As though being caught up in it all I actually missed out on a lot more. And did not see even more. For some strange reason I feel as though my foggy head was due to a carb overload making life a little bit more complicated in my head. But maybe this is just how fast a year goes. Which is kind of scary. As though that is a year gone in a blink. One down 60 more left. A sad and scary thought. That one day it will all be over.

River of love

Love is a river, Sharing is a raft,

I float on over to you, and offer my hand,

we both smile, and lay back closing eyes,

We float and drift, feeling it all,

We can get off and join the land,

or we can just float on down stream,

float on down the river of love.

Refreshed

I turn the hot and cold taps to find balance. Closing my eyes, letting water fall over my face. Most of the time I see myself as frantic, a mess.

My hair washed and combed, then tied up. Order. Shirt, aftershave and teeth done. I am already very far from the person I woke up as.

Looking at the translucent glass, sun glaring in. Refreshed.
