Short Term Memory

Not only is my short term memory horrible, but so is my short term memory! (haha)

I have forgotten many things over the last couple of weeks.

I have also shut myself off from the world, or forced myself to get 'out there'. It's such hard work to be 'out there' that my brain goes into auto pilot, which means that it doesn't absorb everything that it should.

I haven't contacted a particular person about some photos that I said I'd take Wednesday week ago. I also missed a date to take photos of orchids last week. Adoring Husband and I BOTH forgot an important appointment this morning.

I'm struggling a bit and I don't know why.

My ability to procrastinate is at it's peak and I just can't find the motivation to do anything that I should be doing.

Not sure how I'm going to overcome this little hiccup, but I guess the fact that I recognise and acknowledge this problem is a good step in the right direction.

While Adoring Husband and I were waiting for our appointment with the financial advisor this morning, first we had coffee and then we browsed through the ABC book store where we found this book with great photos for clear identification of Australian birds and Adoring Husband bought it for me.

Now I'm keen to get out with my camera and find some new bird species in the area, so that I can use the book!

At the end of our appointment, we were offered an invitation to a luncheon where the Brisbane Broncos Coach, Wayne Bennett, will be the special guest, which I eagerly accepted!

Tonight, co-incidentally, I watched an interview between Gus Gould and Wayne Bennett. Wayne really is an inspiration. He's an incredible human being who has earned the respect of so many people, from the footballers he has coached, footballers that his teams have played against, football fans, other coaches, sponsors, kids and so many others from various charity organisations.

Football has been his life from a very young age, but more importantly is his love of charity work and helping others who need it. He instils this ethic in his club and in his team members and that's what adds to the character of these players and gives them an inner strength and self respect that other teams lack.

I'm even more excited about the luncheon now!

It's almost 11pm. Time for sleep.

Nite all.
