All credit goes to Dynamic Drive, and from what I can gather this post should display correctly in most browsers.When you pass your mouse over a thumbnail, a larger image will be displayed.

Three hearts beat as one 2008-06-25 23:13:00 As we look to the north we remember the young lass who has not only captured the heart of our son, but ours as well. This rare beauty with a mind for tidy estates and an eye for our son, works overtime making sure everything is just right. We love her dearly and proudly call her a member of our family. With dogged determination and a deep longing for one another, that only lovers will kno Read more:Three
Why do we Blog? 2008-07-17 21:26:00 The title was going to be “Why do we write”, but after careful consideration I changed the title, as I firmly believe that blogging belongs in the same basket as writing. "It may be every professional writer’s nightmare to hear blogging and writing mentioned in the same sentence, but isn’t better to have written, than never to have written at all?" Personall
The Poor Conversationalist 2008-07-13 23:08:00 I can trace my poor conversational skills back to my childhood days, where eating meals in front of the television was the norm. Any attempt at verbal communication during these times, be it a few words or looking as if it was going to turn into an attack of verbal diarrhoea, would be met with scorn, evil eyes and having the nearest thing thrown at me by my younger siblings. Mind you, I was
Childhood Memories 2008-07-26 10:37:00 Distant childhood memories flash before me as I stare longingly into the flame of a bright burning candle. Transfixed, I’m drawn into the visions that spew out and settle into the translucent molten pool of days long gone. Wishing that others could see them, I watch each memory being carried away in tiny hot droplets as they trickle down from the waxy precipice, only to have them fade as t Read more:Childhood
Beijing 2008 Olympic Games 2008-08-13 22:54:00 Like most of you I have been captivated by the Beijing
2008 OlympicGames
. Who wouldn’t be?The records now being broken are as fantastic as the cost of hosting the games.A mind blowing $40 billion has been spent by China preparing for the expected 16,000 athletes from 204 countries, the plethora of supporting staff, volunteers, media, seven million spectators. Included in this amount was $5 bill
Will $6000 Return You To Nursing? 2008-08-08 12:10:00 Back on 15 January 2008 the Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd announced the “Bringing Nurses Back into the Workforce program”. Over the next 5 years $39.4 million will be provided to reduce the nursing shortage and to attract 8,750 of the estimated 30,000 qualified nurses who left nursing, back into nursing at public and private hospitals and residential aged care homes Read more:Return

Save Emergency Departments for Emergencies 2008-08-06 16:28:00 It is not often I get on the bandwagon to support a Australian cause, so I would like to make up for that flaw and plug the latest campaign from the New South Wales Government Department of Health. Their site goes on to say: "During the winter months NSW hospital emergency departments face a significant increase in activity. This television campaign highlights the ser Read more:Emergency
Father's Day Downunder 2008-09-06 00:03:00 F rom the time you took in your first breath, our world changed for the better. Eyes now clear of milky dew, I see myself in the reflection of your squinting gaze. Blindly holding onto my finger with your hand, my eyes begin to fill with your mother’s tears as you settle at the breast. You are the first of three and with time, you will all grow strong and make us proud. Robert, Stephen a Read more:Father
Australia's Most Wanted 2008-08-29 19:55:00 I can't believe it was 30 years ago today, that I graduated from St Vincent's Hospital Darlinghurst as a registered nurse. A lot has happened since then and like some, I've had many regrets since graduating in August 1978. Too many to mention here of course, but one that I can tell you is not keeping in touch with my class mates. Can you say the same about yourself? Wan Read more:Australia

It highlights the roles and responsibilities of their student general nurses during the three-year journey to becoming a reg Read more:Nursing
Self-portrait under three hundred words 2008-09-24 05:29:00 A companion of yours and mine, who is neither precious nor tangible, has been with me for as long as I can remember. Best described as mischievous, domineering and a right royal in the butt, this Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde character has partnered many before us and will seek out others yet to come.

My Bucket List 2008-09-15 22:41:00 In the movie "The Bucket List" two fictional senior citizens played by Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson, discover they are dying from terminal illnesses. Wanting to go out with a bang rather than a whimper, they formulate a list of things to do together before they kick the bucket; hence the movie title. This movie had such a very profound effect on me that I have drawn up my own
