The house reno’s continue, need to put some photo’s here-in so everyone can see the ongoing mission to make a basement suite that the Mother-in-law will love, no east mission I can tell you.

I will get a picture of the house and some of the basement pictures and maybe even a walk around movie clip of the house so people can see our new place.

Life currently is very full, always something to do, somewhere to go, something to see, fix, design, negotiate, lift up, put down, move, write to, read, talk about, hear from etc…. its really a contant state of motion at present and my mind keeps on going, I do one thing, I put it to rest, sometimes not for good as things come back again, and I say to myself whats next and continue.

This is beginning to take its toll on me physically and somewhat mentally but not to the point where I dont like it or I cant handle it, you have to just keep going and make the best of each experience be it good bad or indifferent. Now some people dont handle this so well, the more they have to do the more it gets bundled up in a big lump of worry and stress and the more they get tied up in the emotions of it all that they get self absorbed, now if my wife read this she may well think I am talking about her and to a degree I am but also others I know.

The way I see it is in my current point in life I am so blessed, I have a loving wife, I have great pets, I have a nice home, I have good people around me, I work with good people helping other people and everything is good in my life and for this I am very thankful to be blessed in this way, providing I take stock in this fashion then life is always going to be good for me.

Why am I an optimist like this, well I have been through the whole growing process of not knowing who I am, being uncomfortable with myself even to the point of hating who I was, being depressed and utterly miserable to the point that I realised I needed to change and I needed to surround myself with good people and go good things in my life.

Onward and upward, keep going and findng solutions.

Last few days have been rather cool in the fact that I was looking at http://www.bebo.com/ for listings of my old school friends and I found a Stephanie Bramhall, now Bramhall is my mothers side of the family and this peaked my interest, turns out after a few messages back and forth that Stephanie is a daughter of my Cousin Louise Bramhall, She started having kids at quite an early age and now has a large family, something about the Bramhall gene’s, so I got to talk to her about my Old School and also about the Bramhall clan and all my other relations who I have never met.

We have now been conversing quite alot on MSN and now I also have an email for my Cousin Louise, really did loose touch with that side of the family so its reall nice to be getting back in touch!
