S Theme - Day 6

I didn't get around to write a post yesterday as my cold has freshened up and is now in my head. But I did have an "S" word for the day and it was "Sniffles", because that is what I was doing a lot of.

Now for today's "S" word which is "Susan" or "Suzie" as my kids christened her. Suzie is my cousin and also my best friend. Our mothers were sisters and also best friends. There is only six weeks between us and we have been like sisters all our lives. We share a very special bond to a point that we can somehow feel when something is not quite right with the other one. We have shared may happy times, sad times and certainly hold many secrets but we both know that we are and will always be there for each other.

S Theme - Day 5

My "S" word for today can bring a smile to your face but it can also be annoying, if it get in your pants??
It is "SAND" and this shot was taken when I was walking along the beach in Cairns. It's my version of an artistic photo. Anyone who knows me well would know that it's definately not my footprint - I have flat feet and if it was my foot impression there would be no nice arch!!
Thank all for you lovely comments and I am feeling a little better thanks - I hate colds.

S Theme - Day 4

Lately I have been trying to stay away from to much fast food but the other day when I went to see Hubble 3D I had a craving for Kentucky Fried Chicken. No matter what I did, once it was on my mind there was no getting rid of it. So I thought if I have to have it I best go as small as I can. That brings me to my "S" word for today. My fast food treat was a KFC "Snack Pack", and a can of "Seven Up". Hey I just realized I have found two "S" words with you tonight. I must admit it, it was yummy. I think that if you are trying to eat healthy and you have an almight craving, its best to treat yourself occasionally, otherwise for me I end up going crazy. So I had my treat and that satisfied me for a while.

S Theme - Day 3

Hi all - just a very quick post tonight because I'm having a very early night as I am not feeling to good. Because of the way I feel I really have to have my "S" word for today is "Sick". I feel really sick, think I might be getting a cold. So with that I will wish you all goodnight and we'll catch up again tomorrow.

S Theme - Day 2

My "S" word for today is "Space". Yesterday I took myself off to the IMAX Theatre - Melbourne to see "Hubble 3D". This documentary was made in 2009 and it chronicles the effort of seven astronauts aboard the Space Shuttle Atlantis to make one last repair on the Hubble Space Telescope. This was an amazing film bringing the most spectacular scenes of earth, the birth and death of stars to three dimensional life. The focus on the astronauts made me feel like they were just ordinary men and women doing extraordinary things. The only downside was that it only went for 45 minutes, I could have watched it for hours.

September - Spring

The "Medicine Wheel" message to me for September is "Transformation". That's exactly the message I want for this month. As I mentioned yesterday my message for last month was awakening and during the month I did have an awakening of things in my life that needed to be changed. So now that I have made some big life decisions, transformation is just what I want and expect to happen.
As you may have noticed I like to have a theme to blog about, I love the challenge. So now that I am in September and it's Spring, I thought my theme for this month would be to post photos and words relating to the letter "S".
Where to start - no better place than with the word itself.
"Spring" - I really enjoy my garden in the spring, especially the glorious smell of the Daphne and the magnificent white glow of the "Magnolia".
