Tomorrow is always a brand new day

This post has been sitting, in my draft box, waiting to be written for around three days now. For some reason the words just haven't seem to be there. Even now I am not sure if they are but I can't hold off any longer. I need to try and get some of it out.


I know that the beginning is always the best place to start but sometimes in life the beginning can be a tricky place to find. Life is but a cycle and as such with it's constant goings round, beginnings and endings can sometimes blend into one. Making it not only difficult to establish where they each stop and start but also the difference between causes and effect.

The last week has been a tough. Though I seem to say that a lot I think. Perhaps this was just a particularly tough day because of so much going on.

Children graduating primary school, new paths being forged while old ones cease to exist, no longer needing to be walked. Hearing of two breast cancer diagnosis and immediate removals of lumps and breast. Mass murders, brutal senseless and unnecessary attacks on innocent lives. Radio pranks blamed for suicide and a media frenzy around issues that at the end of the day should be nothing at all.

My head feels like it wants to explode unable to cope with the emotion of it all.

What is the world coming to?

Oh that's right, come Friday apparently the world is coming to and end. Miss Eleven has heard bits and pieces of this notion. She is on the verge of being beside herself with worry at times. When I look up into the sky and see cloud formations that I have not really seen before, I too struggle to not get caught up in a conspiracy theory about it all.

The crazy weather the world over doesn't help in that department either. Guess which city was one of the first mentioned to get flooded in the doomsday movie 2012?

Oh that's right it was the same that got flooded just recently. New York.

Deep breaths.

Thankfully as long as I don't think about it, I don't worry to much. It all just really serves as a great reminder though



Fairy wishes and butterfly kisses to one and all.

  1. well i wasn't worried about the world ending, but now i'm not so sure!! :P it has been a really weird couple of weeks, hasn't it? News wise, etc. Maybe that is contributing to my overall moodiness and crankiness. I love Christmas, but I'm kind of looking forward to the next few weeks being over.

    1. Yep I am the same I want so much to be enjoying this wonderful time of the year but I just feel like I am constantly cranky and fed up. Not to mention drained and tired.
      Thanks for stopping by lovely and here's to a wonderful cheerful week ahead

  2. Kudos on making it into digital parents email!! I totally hear you on this. I'm not coping with life at the moment. Period. So much evil in this world it's just horrendous. Instead of it making me a better person though I just crumble in fear, which is crap because me professing to be a Christian, should be joyful and trusting that God knows what he's doing. It's just too much. I need sleep.

  3. I've had to switch off the news - I can't take it in at the moment. I'm struggling just keeping my kids sane with the holiday silliness, I can't deal with all the other insanity going around as well. Tomorrow is a new day and we really should make the most of every day that we have - thanks for that reminder Rhianna, I needed that today!

    1. So true Kristy. I actually switched off the news 3 YEARS ago but it's all over Facebook now too. :(

    2. We absolutely should Kirsty because you know without being morbid, really don't know how long we have, regardless of what happens re the whole doomsday predictions. We should be making the most of what we have right now. Hope it gets easier as the hype dispenses.

  4. The world will not end. I'm a gambler and will gladly take your money on that one. ;)
    I have however, that same feeling of disbelief mixed with confusion and pain as to what the world is coming to. I don't have answers but I hope, in talking to my kids, I set some heads on straight for the benefit of the future. As discussed with my 12 year old, if we globally spent as much on medicine science as we did on warfare, we'd have a cure for cancer by now...

    1. Hello lovely, I am not sure why I never replied sooner to your comment, I guess it just happens that way sometimes. In hindsight and with near on a year to reflect on it all, I would probably have made the same bet as you. But that could well just be the optimistic in me!
