Tuesday 15th January 2013<\/strong>
\nIt is 21:23 according to my Mac. <\/p>\n

I have just come by my computer to do some work on my Blog. I have a post to do, and my project 365 pictures to file and then all of a sudden Alexa<\/a> popped into my mind. It is time to record a Simple Moment for January.
\nIt is dark and extremely cold outside tonight with snow forecast for tomorrow but it is warm and cosy in my room and in the house.
\nThe lovely smell of macaroni cheese is drifting up from the kitchen. It is Ben\u2019s supper, he has just come in from work and taken it out of the oven. Our cauliflower cheese was beautiful earlier. I don\u2019t like macaroni and Ben doesn\u2019t like cauliflower!
\nI have just spoken to Lotta, she is coming for a visit the week after next. She is having a tough time with exams at the moment. I do so love her coming to visit.<\/p>\n

I have lots of things on my mind.
\nThis might turn in to ‘Morning Pages’<\/a> but in the evening!<\/p>\n

I worked from home today and got loads done. I am concerned about the amount of paperwork I have to do before I retire in less than four weeks, but after my marathon today I have broken the back of it and hopefully I will sleep better tonight.<\/p>\n

I am thinking so much about work; I keep asking Paul if I\u2019m doing the right thing. Of course I am but I feel nervous and I have no idea why. I suppose it is change<\/em>.
\nIt will be a big change in my life, but I need to do this. I need to get well and concentrate on taking care of myself, having more energy to support Paul and maybe even clean the house! Perhaps best not to overdo it straight away Miriam. <\/p>\n

We watched a film called \u2018Love Can Build a Bridge\u2019 tonight and now I have the song in my head. I don\u2019t mind really, it is a lovely song and much better than the one I had in my head last week. Don\u2019t even mention that!<\/p>\n

I am thinking of getting an iPad. Maybe a retirement present to myself? I need to talk to Ben about it. Of course I don\u2019t need one but it would be nice wouldn\u2019t it? <\/p>\n

I was at the doctors yesterday for bloods, my diabetes is out of control. I am very thirsty and constantly sleepy. On the up side I have re-discovered Badoit. It is wonderful for this terrible thirst I have.<\/p>\n

I can hear my boys talking, the sound of their voices is drifting up the stairs. It is a wonderful sound only bettered by the sound of their laughter.
\nWhen I write that I can hear them talking or laughing I am always reminded of my girlhood dream: I wanted a home of my own and my own family. It is a very strange but clear feeling, almost as though I am having the thought or dream right now.<\/p>\n

I am so fortunate, I am happy right now and I am loved. I am also really tired and will go to bed once I have tidied this up. I do hope this isn\u2019t too much of a ramble but it\u2019s how I am feeling right now.
\nThank you Alexa; for enabling me to take a few minutes to be quiet, to think and to write.
\n21:37<\/p>\n

\"Happy<\/a><\/p>\n
