Performing the Drama of Life

One cannot become a starring player in life if one is easily swayed by one's emotions over every little thing. Strength of character lies in performing the drama of life with courage and confidence, practicing self-reflection and self-control under any circumstances.

The good news is that it's not very cold this morning - a welcome change.  I've been for a walk - am running late - and sent Dennis off to his business breakfast.

The bad news is his computer would not start up - the very last thing we can afford right now is to lose his computer OR buy a new one.  I suspect we might have to go to Harvey Norman or Noel Leeming just to get us through to better days. I have managed to get it going now  - huge sigh of relief.  To be honest - a few less dramas would go a long way to making me feel better!

I've got chops on browning while I sort the kids out for breakfast and lunches.  They'll get turned into mutton and barley broth for dinner tonight - the chops not the kids...

Josh was interviewed yesterday for the Howick and Pakuranga Times (www.times.co.nz)It's his first interview and I'm very proud of him - even if I don't have a huge connection to 'melodic death core' music.
