A diary of our family's house building project in the Blue Mountains, NSW, Australia. Also my ponderings on family life, living with Asperger's Syndrome, running an ebay business & a place to share my photography.

Happy New Year!

2009.
Thankfully, 2008 has ended.
Trying not to be TOO negative but goodness it was hard.
Never enough sleep.
Never enough money.
Never enough time in the day.
Too much work.
Not enough play.
Not enough patience.

Puberty.
Terrible twos.
Autism.
Depression.
HSC.
Day care.
A diagnosis.
Bank loans.
Exhaustion.
Family conflicts.
Intolerance.

There were GOOD things of course.

A beautiful house emerging.
A diagnosis.
Day care (yes I know they were in the negatives too but that's the truth of it).
Clarity of mind. 
Motivation.
Love.
Growth.
Commitment.
A light at the end of the very long tunnel.
New friends.
Watching Brody emerge from the dark.
Photography & my new Enrich friends who I value so dearly ( :
Having Finn ask for hugs.

2009 will see us into our new house. That fact alone fills us with joy. That fact alone makes this a wonderful year.
Happy new Year everyone ( :
