Change Your Thinking

After being recommended the course by a lovely friend of mine, Mum and I started (and finished last night) a 10 week course in changing your thinking. It was surprisingly good - it exposed me to the whole 'rational-irrational' thought process which, though very obvious and logical, is amazingly applicable to handling your everyday life and emotions.
At the end of our last class we listed a few goals for the next five years. Mine included "to live in the moment more" and "to appreciate what I have and not take anything I love or anything I have for granted." After listening to someone else I added one of their goals, to "surround myself with positive people." I like this because it's similar to one of B's and my favourite ideas, to "work with people better than you".

The Good Egg

We *finally* got our first egg from our backyard chickens yesterday. We didn't even need to resort to leaving the axe by their door. Maybe they just heard us talking about it? I got 2 chickens as a Christmas present from B (Featherfoot and Mrs Pecky), with Mrs Pecky sitting on a few eggs. Eggs have hatched and now we have an extra little hen called "The Raptor" (the boys went back to the farm... seriously). Since my mum moved we have adopted one of her chooks, Vera. I think we can safely attribute this first egg to her... and by the sounds of it I think another might be on its way!
