So I was having a conversation with my mother.
"Do you realise you use the word "like" when you speak?" she said
"Do I? I wasn't, like, aware I was doing it," I said.
"You've done it again!"
"Sorry, mum. At least, like, now I can be more aware when I speak." More >

When I didn't hear my mother getting ready for church this morning, I figured she'd changed her mind. When she woke up she told me she had a splitting headache.
"I'm sorry to hear that," I said.
"Thanks."
As I know my mother believes in taking tablets I said, "Have you taken anything for the headache?" More >

Last night, my mother mentioned how Christmas passes too quickly. Before you know it, it's over and all the happiness is gone. You're back to feeling the blues.

I find it takes guts to follow your heart when everyone around you is afraid of rocking the boat.
Last night I watched one of my favourite films, Strictly Ballroom, which, for me, represents what it means to follow my heart regardless.
Scott Hastings, a talented ballroom dancer wants to do his own steps, which would mean breaking the Australian Dance Federation rules. Scott's mother is dead set against him doing his own steps because she knows he will end up losing the competition. Scott's partner, Liz Holt, is not very keen on dancing new steps either. She ends up dumping Scott and links up with Ken Railings, who is very popular with the Australian Dance Federation judges. There is now only three weeks until the next big competition. Will Scott find a suitable partner in time? More >

During my bus journey this morning, a lady I usually see in the neighbourhood got on the bus. I smiled and said hello.
"Compliments of the season," she said.
"Same to you," I said.
After a while I said, "Have you done all your Christmas shopping then?"
She frowned.
"Do you celebrate Christmas?" I said.
"I haven't even decided what I'm doing," she said. More >
