A little of this and that......

My post today is a mix bag of things. I can't believe it's been a week since my sister's wedding, gosh how time flies. It's amazing what can transpire in just a week. Today, I received some unfortunate news. My brother-in-laws mother was just diagnosed with inoperable bowel cancer and has been made palliative. She has been unwell for sometime but it was only just confirmed this week. I think the doctors knew but with the wedding and all they told her to enjoy herself at the wedding and the they would meet and discuss tests etc. after the wedding. I feel so blessed that I was able to spend some time with her at the wedding...we had a lovely chat...I know she was feeling unwell but she was a trooper and made the best of it....My prayers and thoughts go out to her and my sister and brother in law.



On a much happier note.....my dear sister ....the one who just got married will be celebrating a birthday tomorrow....now I am not allowed to say which birthday she will be celebrating and I don't think it really matters ....what matters is that she has a terrific day. Tomorrow she will also have her first treatment of chemo....she has been told that she will only have to undergo 3 weeks of chemo, so that is a blessing.....so here's to you sis....love you bunches and have a terrific Bday!!!!!!




Do you ever wonder sometimes what makes people tick? I mean what are people's motivation for doing or saying things that they do. Sometimes, people just do "Random Acts of Kindness" other times it's people doing and or saying things out of shear spite to hurt someone. Now the random acts of kindness makes you beam and smile, the hurtful things that people do out of spite just makes you want to shake your head and wonder why....why would someone want to do that to another person.

I believe I have been the recipient of such an unkind act. I was called to task about one of my posts. Those who know me, know that I would never intentionally put anyone at risk for something I would write on my blog. Like most of you, blogging provides us with a forum to speak about our day, how we are feeling about things, ask for others thoughts and input on topics, talk about the political environment talk about moral and ethical issues. I blog about my life...things that have an impact on my life. When I moved to my new surroundings the intent of my blog was to share experiences of moving from a big city to a small community this of course included my professional life. Big mistake. It was made blatantly clear to me that I am not to blog about my professional life....I can't go into details primarily as there could be repercussions...I am sure I am under a microscope now. You know there is a part of me that feels flattered that someone would go to such extent to seek out my blog and believe me they would have had to do that as I have changed my address a few times etc....and then make the effort to go and report about it. I don't want to believe that someone could be that cruel and spiteful. You know that saying...what goes around comes around....I believe that....I also feel so very sad and sorry for that person...how lonely they must be, when the only thing they have in their life is to seek out people's blogs and attempt to cause harm. It was suggested to me that if I felt I needed to "debrief" that's a fancy word we use in my field of work when one has experienced something bad at work and needs to talk about it, that I should seek out alternative means for expressing my feeling but for heaven sakes don't write about my day our my feelings on my blog! I have had mixed feelings about even posting on this topic.....I even contemplated shutting down my blog...but I will not....I will not give give the person who reported my post that power over me....I will continue to write and post. I learnt my lesson, enough said. No more posting about work for me. What I find puzzling, is that to my recollection I never used my real name, I certainly never use patients names or even initials, I have never referenced where I work, most members of my family don't even know how to access my blog, so how did my blog mysteriously show up out of the millions of blogs out there by a so called stranger, how did this mystery person connect it all? They truly must be some kind of detective which I highly doubt....my blog is nothing special...I don't have high visitor counts...it's just your average everyday blog written by your average everyday person.....I can only imagine and believe it had to be someone who knew I blogged and had some kind of access to my blog, and like I said had a lot of time on their hands, I am having a very hard time believing it was just average joe public who complained about my blog. So enough said.. I hope this person is satisfied, but most importantly I hope they enjoy reading ALL of my posts....and maybe just maybe learns a few things about life and all the wonderful positive things life has to offer.

Cheers to you all.....
