an unrequited thanksgiving

Lately I haven’t been as thankful and good-spirited as I should have been, or should always be. I think it has to do with everyone leaving me behind Melbourne and headed for home. And I was put in a position to think about issues that I have to face and handle in due time of [...]

Holy Matrimony

I still don’t have the photos so it has to come in another post. I think people generally like to see a post with heaps of photos in it, haha. Being single, I have some form of appreciation for marriage. As an outsider looking at a couple so in love before the wedding, I confess [...]
