Thunderstorm



As I drove through the parched Mallee landscape, a heavy black storm cloud followed me to the West. Jabbing at the earth every few minutes with white spikes of lightning. When at last I gave in to the spectacular and pulled over to capture the moment, the storm played with me, only releasing its fireworks when my shutter was closed. For over 200 kilometres I drove alongside the storm as both of us headed North.

Morwenna Me!

Well Angela has tagged me so here goes...

M - Mum/Mom: Being a Mum has been one of the most important aspects of my life. I have loved every stage of my children's life, and count them each as my greatest achievement. And as they find life partners I find new children to cherish.

O - Oracle: I have always said that it is my pen that is better connected to my soul than my mouth! When I write I do not fumble for the right words. I love to write and one day.... Will there be a novel or just more abandoned stories?

R - Rider: Horses were my life when I was younger, and although God and family squeezed them out to the edges a bit, riding is still one of my great loves.

W - Worshiper: At 16 years of age I heard about a God who loved me. I knew there were people who loved me, but I suspected that was because the didn't know how big a phony I was. That God could know me better than I knew myself and still love me was a revelation that changed my life. To know that love has to result in worship!

E - Entertainer: I love to make people welcome in my home. Love to feed them. Love to spoil them.

N - Nutty: Love to be silly, have fun and make others laugh. I was the class clown at school, partly because at some point I decided to be in control of the laughter directed at me, and partly because I enjoyed the attention!

N - Neat & tidy: Nahhhh! That's a laugh! Told you I was Nutty! Hopefully one day I will be able to say Nana! Hint, hint, wink, wink!

A - Aussie! I love my country, love my heritage, love our short history her, and love the rich history, pre existing before my people came.


I will have to think a bit on who to tag.... I have to come up with 8 names!
