Share Your World 2018 – 22 January

Sharing My World This Week

List 2 things you have to be happy about?

First of all I’m happy that I have special people in my life both near and far. Naomi of course, David’s family back in South Australia who are now my family, friends in the local community and others who live further away but keep in regular touch. I also count my fellow bloggers as friends as we share so much in our posts.

I’m also happy that I have hobbies and interests that keep me well occupied so I am never bored or lonely.

Have you ever owned a rock, pet rock, or gem that is not jewellery?

I remember the pet rock craze and thought it was a bit silly but I do like interesting rocks and pretty coloured crystals and gemstones. I have a few at home.

Are you a hugger or a non-hugger?

Generally I am a non-hugger. I will do it when greeting family and close friends, especially those I don’t often see but I don’t really like being hugged by casual acquaintances as I like my space.

What inspired you or what did you appreciate this past week?  Feel free to use a quote, a photo, a story, or even a combination. 

Whenever I am at the Op Shop I am always inspired by my friend and co-worker Karen. She is so enthusiastic and full of ideas to improve the look of the shop and to find ways to do a better job that I am always carried along with them.

Born in England in 1957 my family came to Australia in 1966. I grew up in Adelaide, South Australia, where I met and married my husband David. We came together over a mutual love of trains. Both of us worked for the railways for many years, his job was with Australian National Railways, while I spent 12 years working for the STA, later TransAdelaide the Adelaide city transit system. After leaving that job I worked in hospitality until 2008. We moved to Tasmania in 2002 to live in the beautiful Huon Valley. David passed away in 2015 and I'm here on my own now but I have Cindy the dog and Polly the cat to keep me company. I currently co-write two Wordpress blogswith my sister Naomi. Our doll blog "Dolls, Dolls, Dolls", and a "Our Other Blog" which is about everything else but with a focus on photographs and places in Tasmania. View all posts by Taswegian1957
