Woke up this morning and heard the wind howling so disappeared back beneath the covers, was 2. 30 before I re- emerged.
Got to club just as Fred was leaving, he left the jeans with the other table.
Had a couple of lemon tops and came home,
He was off to the middle house to help them get through some Fosters, apparently they are doing some work on the lines and there is a chance of cheap beer being offered.
I awoke this morning to an onslaught of acid in my gut, I presumed it was the fatty fish cake and chips I had last night. But having had a couple of pints I again have trouble with acid, looks like time to knock the drinking in the head.
Don’t know what is upsetting me but will have to figure it out.
Bought myself half ounce so have enough for weekend.
Tried jeans on, one pair fits and the other will find itself in the charity shop next week.
Made myself a sandwich of meat and beetroot but dropped it onto carpet.
“Kit McCallum”. How often we must bear the challenges of life;the endless roller coaster between happiness and sorrow;the constant ups and downs of daily strife.And always the question remains. Why?
Life is not an easy road for most;it twists and turns with many forks in the road,although always, and inevitably, we are given a choice …
Do we turn to the right … or the left?Do we take the high road … or the low road?Do we take the easy path … or the difficult one?
Decisions are not easy for those struggling for direction …and sometimes the many choices and signs become overwhelming.
While standing at a crossroads in life,the urge is to take the most comfortable path.The road with least resistance …the shortest or most travelled route.
And yet, if we’ve been down that comfortable road before;have gleaned its lessons in life, and learned from our experiences;
Do we yet again follow the known?Or does our destiny lie in another direction?
The fear of the road less travelled is tangible and all too real;it manifests itself in many ways,and tends to cloud the issues that might otherwise be clear.
It is in these times of confusion,that we must seek peace and solitude;
Time to contemplate on our life,our experiences and our choices past;Time to look back, and reflect on what we have learnedwithout fear or confusion.
For only each of us knows our own personal thoughts;our unique past and personal history;the experiences that brought us to the crossroads we now face.
We can always learn a small degree from others experiences,and yet … no one person can walk in our shoes,others know not, the trials and tribulations faced in private …
For each is individual … unique … and personal.
And that is why … while standing at a crossroads;only “we” can formulate the decision for ourselves;the true direction that lies within;the choices we must deliberate on with clarity and wisdom.
For it is only through personal reflection,that we can now choose our destiny;… our next adventure;… and the future we will embrace.



Create for yourself an evolving document that outlines your purpose in life.
Who are you? What are your values? What do you intend to do with your time to make your one life meaningful?
Excepting acts of God, it is you who determines your future.
You don’t have to listen to those who say you are too old, too young, too poor, too unattractive, too uneducated or the wrong colour, gender or nationality.
When you read inspirational passages in other books, magazines or newspapers, write them down or clip them out. Put everything together in a folder or document. This will serve as your motivational reserve and will help you create a personal mission statement.
Your mission statement only has to be a few sentences or paragraphs. Refer to your mission statement periodically and don’t be afraid to change it as you grow. A mission statement will help you to establish a foundation upon which you can build your dreams and goals and from which will flow your objectives and daily to-do list.
