is there something missing?

You know that feeling of something missing in your life/an emptiness of real purpose that the day to day chore-fest doesn’t seem to answer? I’ve never heard it explained like this before and it makes sense.

Everyone is busy, and there never seems to be enough time in the day to do what you want to do, let alone need to do. Still most people I know spread themselves thinner to put some time and energy into “their Calcutta” – and some even spread themselves across a few causes. This is why.

an approach to filling that empty feeling

Australia, charity, duty, Service

There’s something a little disconcerting when the line at Bunnings warehouse is longer for a $2 sausage sizzle than it is to buy a badge or a wristband from our boys in uniform. The fact the armed services need to raise money to support the health and wellbeing of returned soldiers is insulting enough.

Kiva

Contributing to the greater good is an extraordinary gift to give yourself.  How would we ever have known about someone struggling to get through school in Jordan or a woman trying to start a small business in Mali without organisations like Kiva.  A very small risk for me, but a huge amount of good for someone I’ll never meet.

Bedlam before. Bookcase after.
New moon in Taurus.
Back to work tomorrow after a much too short break. Prep to make things a little more pleasant. Anzac slice and banana bread. #podlife
I had a great night graduating Gin School. Brisbane Distillery at West End has a cool vibe and the class room is terrific. I made an ink gin with botanicals of agave, elderberry, green cardamom, orange blossom and wild rosella. Yum. #ginschool #gin #brisbane
I’d like to thank Australia Post for unknowingly supporting my effort to be an adult. To keep is in the wallets. To shred is in the postbox. #idontknowwhereigotitfromiswear #declutter #paperless #mortgageprep
Decluttering all the things and found a print out of this amongst my “things to journal about” prompt box. This birthday week I’m taking some time to break from the stress and grind of adulting. Nature is a great healer. Thanks for the reminder @chrisevans. Water the plants. Talk to the trees. Watch the birds. Support the bees. 💚❤️🐝🌻
Let’s go Australia. #ausvotes
Pretty sky. #scenicrim #queensland #nofilter
It’s been a week, hasn’t it? I’m taking the evening to rest. No chores. Nothing for me to have to/ should do - it can all wait til the morning. #rest #timeout #reset
So that’s a lot for one day. #bnestorm #subtropics #rain
There’s a storm water drain under there somewhere. Might not need to pay for a pool now. #bnestorm #subtropics #brisbane
Best find in a desk drawer EVER. #podlife #smallthings
Feels like 10 degrees cooler. #bnestorm #subtropics #brisbane
Low hanging moon. #brisbane
Found an old art box shelf insert and repurposed for my tarot and oracles decks. It feels so much better!! No more messy individual bags. #tarot #oracle #tarotdecks
Tonight I am moving random stickers left on pages into a reusable sticker book and it’s about as much as my brain can handle. It’s been a week. And yes, I am that planner type. #IYKYK #bujo #planner #travelersnotebook
Had to swap out my 2022 diary to my Tom Brady cover in honour of the 🐐 #tomfuckingbrady #tombrady #tb12 #travelersnotebook #bujo #goat #patsnation #newenglandpatriots
Industrious little stingers. #garden #wasps
Day 10. Growing a leek. Nearly time to plant. #garden
Day 5. Regrowing a leek. #garden
