Goodbye 2012

-
Well here we are on the last day of 2012 and what have I achieved?
My goals were as follows -
in 2012 I will try to......
•Become more self-confident and organised, use my diary and journal  - getting better at putting dates/appointments in my phone STRAIGHT AWAY, journal was a fail.
•Lose weight and get fitter - fail due to sickness I put on weight big priority for 2013
•Become more cost-effective - use what I have FIRST success!!!!! Have been finishing off/using up craft stuff I have had for ages and have given lots away.  Same with clothes
•Eat much more healthily (but Im NOT giving up chocolate!) Oddly enough I dont eat much chocolate now, and have tried to eat a LOT more healthier
•Save money Done!!! Even bought some shares
•Stop worrying - trust God to supply ALL our needs trying, trying, trying......
•Take a trip - took lots of day and a few day trips with the leadership program
•Learn something new - crocheting???? Done! I can now crochet
•Be Less Grumpy Hmmm you will have to ask my family about this one!   So 2012 the year that was - I didnt really have a great one at all - losing my father, beloved cat, an ovary, etc.  Did things I didnt want to do - trip in an ambulance, hospital stay, etc BUT - achievements - two lovely granddaughters - Addison and Maddison, graduated from the Loddon Murray Community Leadership Program, started renovating our home, and have a new love for my lovely husband and familiy and life in general. Come on 2013 Im ready for you!

Mums eulogy

My Mum Mum was a quiet achiever, going through life with all its ups and downs with little complaining and always enjoyed the escape of a good book. My Mum was lovely – she cared so much about her family and so loved to hear about all our goings on Although in later life she had health issues – she faced them all bravely and worked to find out the best way to live her best life and bore them with dignity. Her life was one of change and she changed and adapted with the changes. Pamela Blanche Geoghegan was born in Bendigo on the 30th December 1938 (yes she just missed her birthday this year) to loving parents Stanley Norman Geoghegan and Emily Ada Blanche Pattinson. The year previously her brother Brian Stanley was born but he died shortly after birth. When she was only 6 years old her father Stan passed away at the age of 30 and for the next 13 years it was just Pam and her mother Blanche living together and they got on famously as Mum would say. The first change in her life. N

This week has been so very hard. My beautiful Mum went to be with Jesus on Thursday 21st December. I am so very grateful that I was able to sit with her for countless hours in her last days - boy did I talk some rubbish to her as she slept and I embroidered and I wouldnt pass it up for the world. Now we are in the midst of making "arrangements" and I am so very aware that Mum would want me to get it "right". She was definate on that when organising my stepfather Austens funeral and Id like to be able to do the same. Because of Christmas and New Year and holidays etc her funeral will be on Tuesday 2nd January at 11am at AG Adams Funerals in Kerang and then she will be joining Austen at Kerang Cemetry. I miss her so - all the phone calls, visiting her, spending time with her (and also the other residents and staff at Cohuna village) A large part of my life and days is now gone and Ill need to work out what the new routine is. I do plan on going back to the villa
