Our Life Down Under: May 2013

"Recalculate" - Have you ever come to a point in your life that you had to recalculate your time, your priorities, and even some appointments? What is the meaning of that word so often used? It is the description of what happens when we are considering or navigating change. In fact, the concept of “examining” the realities of life and how those measure up to our vision for our family is an important strategy for parents to be doing on a regular basis. If it reality doesn’t match up to vision, then the option to “recalculate” may be important. The GPS is a good example of how it recalculates the journey when we are off course on a trip. The only way we can recalculate is to slow down enough to examine and evaluate the condition of our relationships, the habits of our family, and the daily stresses of our life. By asking, “Is this the life I want to live?” we can begin the process of evaluating. If the answer is “No,” then recalculate and get yourself and/or your family headed back in the right direction.

Voluteering @ WVA

First assignment at WVA yesterday. Did whole lot of data entry which gave me a 'deep' sleep last night. *\(^o^)/*

Met Sarah, another volunteer who just moved from Canberra this January. Nice and pleasant girl. Fresh grad looking for a job in Melbourne.

Overall it's good experience. Lotsa happy endorphins generated. Nice to be back in an office environment. Familiar phone ringing sound in the background, occasional laughters, keyboard typing... Simply wonderful to use my skills not just to make money but to also volunteer.
