It's Just Another Lazy Thursday...

Currently Listening To :: Affirmation :: Savage Garden

It's Anzac day today in the O-Z, so that means public holiday! I wrote a little something for work on Anzac Day, so hopefully it'll come out next week...I caught a bit of the parade from my Trinitron this morning, but lazing in the sun in the outside alcove in my pjs, munching on a scone and drinking my milo, I couldn't help bu think how good life is. Not to rub salt for those who aren't having such a great day when you read this, but you have to know it's not often when the little things in life come to the fore, so when they do, you have to appreciate them for all they're worth.

I was at a great free party (an oxymoron in today's world) last night in the city, and it was a big get-together, with everyman and his best friend there. Unfortunately, I couldn't make it to this other party I was meant to go to; well, I did make it, but there was no one to get us in...Still, it was a good night on the whole though, even if I got a bit cranky towards the end...sleep people, sleep. Rolling out of bed today, it was nice to know that I had the whole day off, and well, so does everyone else. Even though I'm at home studying for midsessions today, it's just nice to feel that holiday vibe.

t's not often I actually chat with my mother, or even get the chance to. But instead of plonking myself in front of the TV this morning, I went and sat with moms for a bit of a chat. For those that don't know, my mum doesn't usually just chat with you, she gives advice. And for someone with not really enough sleep, it's usually enough to make me find a more quiet part of the house. However, as we slowly talked about things going on in my life, my sisters life, and the importance of not selling the family heirlooms, it slowly became apparent that even though she may seem to be nagging me to no end at times, she's just worried about me as much as she used to when I first caught the train on my own to school back when I was knee-high. In ways, that's annoying as hell, yet in ways, it's reassuring like a warm hug or a mug of hot milo, especially when I'm not feeling that sure about anything right now.

"Cause sometimes a little reassurance is all we need. Reassurance of our decisions, our directions, our feelings, our tomorrows. And while I'm not asking for a crystal ball, a little sign is sometimes all that's needed. In this world where it's become so simple to communicate with someone on the other side of the globe with crystal clear clarity and in real time, face-to-face communication remains the most difficult one with which to get a clear message across...
