Do you know what I mean? The kids might be all grown with lives of their own now but that doesn't mean the ideas and words dry up. They all reached the age of wanting their own private lives so the blog photos had to stop but that doesn't mean there aren't days, probably 2-3 per week where I am intricately and wonderfully involved in their lives and the lives of my grandchildren. This life of children isn't for the faint hearted and sometimes it takes a new turn toward something else even more meaningful and the blessings keep getting piled on. It's just beautiful. </div></span><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">There have been many transitions and study at university for four years but I have finally managed to morph myself into something 'more', with much support from family and parents.

Was one of the most beautiful days of my life. It all started with breakfast in bed which Isabella made; blueberry pancakes with ice cream and maple syrup - YUM!</div>

One of Isabella's gifts to me was a make-up and hair make-over for the day so she could photograph me wearing the latest clothing I'd finished sewing & knitting for <a href="http://malcolmcottageindustries.blogspot.com.au/">my Craft Blog</a>. She really is very clever when it comes to knowing what the viewer wants to see from both sides of the camera.</div>

And then everyone arrived and I received my lovely presents and cards. It really has been a wonderful year for family life this year and even though we've all been busy with work and career my children don't seem to mind me constantly hounding them with messages and phone calls to check in and make sure they're ok and are grateful when I sew and knit them all little bits and pieces like scarves and slippers. I think this is reflected in the beautiful messages that were written in cards. Bella went to the trouble of writing a journal of her life with me for the last 14 years and I have to admit, I was in tears when I read it :)</div>

The words that were written really touched my heart. I am truly blessed to have such good and loving children, truly blessed :) Thomas made me a cute rustic flower box which will be very handy. His business with Etsy is thriving <a href="https://www.etsy.com/au/shop/TheFlowerBoxMan">The Flower Box Man</a>. </div>

We went for a walk, even though it was showering, to the local park and then came back to my place and had Mum's homemade lasagne. And then it was me behind the camera and all of the photos were pixelated and over-exposed! Oh well, you can still get the picture. My kids are a bit camera shy these days after spending years having photos taken of them for my homeschool blog so I have to get in there and take them really fast :)</div>

BRAGGING RIGHTS: I've been feeling pretty chuffed lately because I have had some positive feedback in regards to my networks. This blog has had almost 15,000 views and my website has already received about 3,000. </div>
<div data-mce-style="text-align: justify;" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Hiragino Kaku Gothic Pro', 'Lucida Grande', 'segoe UI', Meiryo, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.0399990081787px; text-align: justify;">

In addition to that, when googling my name I came across another website called Circle Count who rate you and your content to see how well you're doing. I was quite thrilled considering there was only a skeleton crew for most of last year ie: I wasn't applying much time to my networks due to being busy with my personal life and in desparate need of a break from it all. There are approximately 460,000 network users in Australia and I rank at about 902. There are approximately 300,000,000 in the world and I rank at about 121,150. This figure is always changing according to the latest stats. This is what I found out:</div>

Here it is (picture to follow):<br />
<br />
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">After the <u>annual</u> <u>banquet</u> I became <u>conscious</u> of the <u>debris</u> <u>expanding</u>, from the near by storm. I felt like I was in the <u>fridget</u> zone; you would have to be a <u>genius</u> to <u>hinder</u> this storm. I started to <u>illustrate</u> an image in my mind of who would give <u>justice</u> to the person who caused this storm. There was a <u>kite</u> too. The <u>legend</u> is that if you <u>mimic</u> a bird it will help you, so I did; <u>nep op, nep op</u>. Right at that moment a group of <u>pessimists</u> holding 'end of the world' signs pushed passed me and I <u>recognised</u> someone: that <u>quaint</u>, little girl; she was a <u>scholar</u> from a school I had recently visited, she was only <u>temporarily</u> there. She was a <u>unique</u> little girl of <u>virtue</u>. Her face was <u>wise</u> and so were her words; they <u>xrayed your</u> mind, they didn't <u>zoom</u> like the other children's words, they were slow and comforting.</span></h2>

We are very privileged to be surrounded by National Parks and State Forests. We do not get to the parks as often as we would like - especially in winter. But at this time of the year and with one of my children at the annual, summer camp and my older daughter studying long hours at home to prepare for VCE (year 11) it's just Bella and I to accomodate and because we are both right back into our writing at the present moment we have decided to come out and get some fresh air before we begin our writing and home schooling to make the most of the magnificent sunshine and get our endorphins flowing.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's good to exercise before work I find; not only does it help to increase creativity but it also makes you feel inspired and then you don't have to worry about exercise later on, when you may be too involved in your work or other family or social commitments to want to venture out. This week we went to Badger Weir and Donnelly's Weir. More often than not the place is completely empty and we have it to ourselves. I have spent many summers here over my more than 20 years as a parent with children - sometimes mine and sometimes other people's - throwing rocks into the river, skimming stones, feeding ducks, wading in the creek to cool off or just sitting on the bank and admiring the splendour of the towering trees and plant life. You seem to be able to access Spirit easily here and I often think of a particular spot at Donellys just before I drop off to sleep - it's very serene. From being here today Bella is about to launch herself into another short story. My children are absolutely convinced that there are fairies here (I would give you all of the details but I have been sworn to secrecy by my daughters) and every now and then I see the oddest scurrying in my peripheral vision . . . </div>

My publisher rang this morning. My book, the Blue Seal of Trinity Cove which is the second in this series is due for release early March. It is currently at the printers in Singapore. That's only about 6 weeks away so it's getting very exciting. I'm cracking the whip with myself to get the 3rd book written now as I know my publisher will be asking for it soon.</div>

This is our favourite book to read at Christmas time; we read it every year and it never gets old. It starts right back at Adam and Eve and goes through the "Jesse Tree," or family tree of Jesus' ancestors. It talks about the true meaning of Christmas and how the celebration came into being.</div>

Last night we went to a night market at Warburton in the Handmade shop. This is where the other authors from my writer's group and I stock our books - I didn't make a sale but . . . being surrounded by other artists, people just like me - all kinds of artists from jewellers to dressmakers, from painters to sculptors and everything else in between - it dawned on me, very slowly at first but with increasing intensity, that being an author is not about selling books but about getting my message out into the world to people that need it the most and also finally finding an artistic community to belong to. And now I know, without a shadow of a doubt, that I will always be an artist and even in the dark days when my imagination just isn't sparking, I will persevere until I get to the other side. I will dig deep until I access that part of me again and bring it out into the light for all of the world to see . . . </div>

Bella took this video (above) of a dancing puppet on-a-string. We have no idea what it was made out of but the man who created it was having a wonderful time with his invention and entertained all of the children all evening long.</div>

Bella and I went to the Sanctuary for the night market in the gift shop. Not only were we able to buy some Australian made gifts for Christmas stockings but Bella was also able to get up close and personal to some animals. Amazingly, we also won a raffle which we were just delighted over as we have not won anything before. Because we spent money in the gift shop we are also in the draw to win a "wade with a platypus" ticket which would enable her to get into a pond and frolick with one - apparently they like to play and be patted just like dogs. This would be good because we are studying platapie this term (pictures and essays will be posted in my next article), so fingers crossed. We were also given a ticket to come back after December 10th and cuddle the baby animals for free. Bella is thrilled.</div>
