Now I'm definitely not one of those animal lovers that has posters such as that "Hang in there" with the cat on the fence...you know the one...but I must say I love this and just had to share it!

Lost and Found

Lost and found in Sydney...welcome to my second post, I'm new to this blogging thing, but it's so much fun! It was a beautiful morning in Sydney and in need of some inspiration.... off went three friends into the MCA to see Take your Time: Olafur Eliasson exibition.  
The plan was to:

1. Get Coffee
2. Get Food
3. See exhibition

We kind of stuck to said plan:

1. Found - The Rocks markets
2. Lost - argue a little about not sticking to the plan (of course this was the boy)
3. Found - cafe, walk through and find out it's a little oasis
4. Found - coffee - then quickly decide wine is better
5. Food is good
6. Wine is good
7. Found - The Puppet Shop
8. Lost - in the maze of the old city
9. Found - the exhibition is wonderful!

 Lost ticket

Lost Girl - (PS not me)

Found - HAPPINESS in a day with with the girls and one boy...who really is one of the girls.

Pam (Nana)

It's been a year since Nana passed away, this is my favorite picture of her. It was taken in the early days of Grandfather courting her. He thinks it's a very 'risque' photo of her, and he says it with a twinkle in his eye, he remembers how he could easily get his arms around her tiny waist.

This picture to me captures happiness - a beautiful young woman in the late 1940's in love. Dreaming of her life ahead...there would be a low key wedding in Sydney, a baby boy followed by a baby girl (my mother), travels and living abroad. Then settling back into a life in Sydney where she watched her children grow and create their lives, giving her the joy of seven grandchildren and three great grandchildren.

She said to my Grandfather, we would never know how much she loved us, her love was unconditional...but Nana we do know, you showed us your love in everything you said and did. You made us all feel like we were your favorite grandchild - we each had our own very special bond with you. I love you. I miss you. Your memory gives me so much HAPPINESS.

This is what my blog is about - "notice when you are happy", you will be surprised - there is so much happiness in the world... Sometimes you just need to notice...
