more hangups than a wardrobe...was

just one such pearler that i heard on saturday night...see i was in canberra for a few days, and mum took the opportunity to invite our oldest and dearest family friends over for dinner - it was a great night (it always is!) and they were both in fine form - they do come out with some quintessential australian sayings at times...actually it was just after we had regaled them with the 'we met two australians once, they were quite vulgar' which has become something of a family favourite...

as gra was telling a story about this bloke he'd worked with years ago, he used the expression 'he had more hangups than a bloody wardrobe' which as a trainee counsellor i found pretty bloody amusing, AND I'd NEVER heard it before! where have i been???

so the weekend was good, you will have noticed i missed 2 blog posts...oops...one i don't really have an excuse for but lastnights i do! i was still having lunch...i'll admit it was a long lunch, and not the sort of long lunch you may be imaginging, but it did result in me being suitably indisposed and unable to make it to the computer...

on a slightly unrelated topic i think that 2008 is going to be my year! it must be, kirst just told me she could feel it! and i hope she's right! it's been a long wait for some of the wonderful things that are unfolding in my life right now, and the wait has, at times, seemed too much, one where there were times when it was hard to maintain the belief that everything would work out ok (which is one of my fundamental beliefs about our lives) and one where on more than one occasion i struggled with the so called 'lesson' i was supposed to be learning...

so i guess this post is a reflection of the waiting game i feel i've been playing for so long and for the fact that it's prepared me for where i am now, and an appreciation for the fabulous things that are starting to make their way into my life - they say that good things come to those that wait and that the wait makes us appreciate the 'spoils' more and i guess (and i hate to concede this) that they just might be right.....
