Have you been wondering where I had disappeared to?  Why I haven’t been replying to any comments left on my blog and no new blog posts!  Before I start explaining my disappearance, I would like to wish everyone a very Happy Christmas and may 2011 be full of good health, good wealth and bucket loads of happiness.

Now to the mystery of my disappearance. It’s simple – we have moved house.  Well, it has not been that simple at all.  Please let me explain.

Next year our daughter starts High School, I am not sure what that level of schooling is in other countries but in Australia, children normally start school when they turn five years old.  Starting in Kindergarten they then go to Year 1, Year 2 etc. finishing Primary School in Year 6, they then transfer to High School to begin Year 7 and finish High School in Year 12.

Everyone, at some point of his or her life, has dreamed of being somebody special, somebody big. Who hasn’t fantasized about being the one who shoots the winning goal in the basketball final? Who hasn’t dreamed of being the ‘belle of the ball’ just like Cinderella?  How many times have we dreamed of winning Lotto or winning the Lottery and being rich, or how about being successful, or happy with our relationships?

Often, we dream big dreams and have great aspirations. Unfortunately, our dreams remain just that – dreams. Our aspirations easily collect dust in our attic or the shed out in the back yard.

This is a sad turn of events in our life. Instead of experiencing exciting adventures in self actualization, we get caught up in the humdrum of living from day-to-day just barely existing.

But you know what? Life could be so much better, if only we learned to aim higher.
