The glass is half full

I've had a few comments lately that life in Sydney can be routine, mundane and just not interesting enough to write about. Not true!! Sydney is an awesome city. I used to write a little known blog about Sydney, the regular everyday goings on whilst working in a regular every day job living a normal everyday life. And I reckon it was a more interesting blog than this American one. The trick is to look at the world with different eyes, to take on the attitude that life is exciting and to see the beauty around you in everyday things. Life here for us has settled down into 'normalness' yet there are still good things to blog about. Of course I don't blog about the traffic jams, cleaning the floor under Lucy's high chair three times a day or what I had for lunch (because no one really cares anyway!) but I do look out for the quirky and interesting. And Sydney has plenty of that! Check out the link if you have run out of ideas for your blog. [I haven't read this book but the author is an excellent blog writer]

On a different note altogether I noticed that the in-store cafe at Walmart is called 'Blimpies'! Is this meant to attract customers or describe them?

Agree 100%! I fall into the same rut of thinking that there are not enough interesting things... K :)

God's world is a place full of wonder and delight if we would but learn to the see the beauty around us. Sure, there are problems. But they do not destroy the wonder that God has put into his world, and they certainly don't diminish his intentions to restore his creation in Christ. So keep on enjoying the beautiful things God has put into his world, even in the everyday. Cheers, A.

"Blimpies" is a little scary...
