"Change is as good as a holiday," that's what they say and it rings in my head this morning as my alarm bell. But if someone said to me a few years ago that I would be in tropical Queensland, enjoying nature everyday and singing with joy I would have laughed at them. Actually I …
I can't remember arriving to work because I wasn't paying attention. I know the road far too well to plan it to perfection. I don't know the date, but it's been 52 weeks of reflection. My existence in the hands of this world. I felt it when I left High School, who am I …
