playing with our American Staffy Bull yesterday, i managed to get him confused betweenwhat is a stick and what is a hand.
Unfortunately for me, that meant a swift trip to the docs for a tetanus, and get it stitched back up. Hope this wont affect the start of ski season which kicks off in a week, and i am supposed to be climbing tomorrow too so it could be a one handed session, no way i am not going!
Sun is shining, i have a week of no work, and life is swell and swimmingly....

Tattoo plans...
I've got some plans at the moment for some new tattoos that will show what this trip to NZ has done for me and my new outlook on life, my new refreshed state of mind, my new found peace, trust and love for the life i am in.

Two people cannot look for each other...
So over the last week i have come to a bit of an odd realisation. It started on a shopping trip over to Queenstown with a friend, ending up in the Warehouse store. We both disappeared off in different directions to get the things we each needed, but this store is huge. I lost Mel and walked around for nearly 20mins looking for her. She, having lost me, did the same. The whole time i was looking for her, she was looking for me. I walked clockwise round the store, went out to the car, sat on a bench by the door, then went hunting again. All this time, Mel was doing the same, even going anti clockwise round the store incase we were following each other. Eventually she stopped and waited for me to arrive. Only then did we find each other.
Two days ago, a friend in town vanished after a night out, and we spent until 2pm the next day looking for her. She was also looking for us this whole time. Again, only when we stopped and took stock of the situation, knowing that she knew where we worked and where we lived, she would come to us so it was now my turn to wait to be found.
This is it, this is what i realsied. Two people cannot look for each other, one of you must be found, the other must doing the finding, else you run around in circles, endlessly hunting for something that is geographically mobile. This fits so many things in life, and i believe that if you are searching for something static, then be active, get going and go find it. If however, what you are searching for is mobile, is impossible to place, then breathe, take a step back and see if it can find you. Invariably this world will provide just what you want, just when you need it.
If you don't believe this, have some faith and give it a go...

If you put it out there, the universe will provide...
So 18months ago i said that i was going to move to New Zealand and work on a ski field in Wanaka.
I knew almost nothing about Wanaka, know no-one here, knew nothing about the ski industry, but here i am, on the run up to NZ winter with a job up on Cardrona ski field. It all worked out so perfectly that it trully showed to me the power of the universe and the laws of attraction.
My decision to live and work in Wanaka all those months ago was based upon nothing. This town is maybe 6,000 inhabitants strong, dwarfed by its bigger neighbors but it called to me, i was attracted to it, and through that law of attraction, i have made it, found what i was looking for and am blissfully happy.
My job stacking fruit and veg has been great, the job is easy, social, relaxing, and pays the bills. I have had a great start to life here and moving to a new job on Cardrona is just the next step in this incredible journey that is the life i am living.
This is not the start, not the end, just the Now. All we have is that moment in the Now when the past is a memory, and the future is a projection of what we think might happen. Problems from past and worries for the future drift away, replaced instead by the most incredible feeling of worth right here and Now. Now i trully look at this world i live in, and instead of saying "What a pretty flower"as a mechanical response to it, i really see the beauty in the world, the people, and the things around me.
Live the Dream, Live the Now, Love the Life....
