Smiles from the Heart of a Family Man

2nd Of January already.  Where is this year going.  Before you know it, it'll be Christmas and the 2nd of January all over again. 

I thought that time was getting faster the older I got; I remember when I was 7, and still feel that utter devastation when I realised that I had at least another 9 years at school. 

In what seems like a flash, those 9 years, and another....4 sets of 9  have passed,  I've had kids, and they are all grown up. 

In order to slow this process down, am going to pack as much into 2016 as I possibly can.   Yesterday I walked, yes WALKED, four kilometers, today, i got up before 11 oclock, and didn't start the rot by sitting in a comfy chair and finding a soppy film to watch.  Instead, did the shopping, and I sat at the table and WROTE NEXT YEARS CHRISTMAS cards, and entered 130 competitions. 

Then I went to the beach and got this shot;  and just being on the beach and having fresh air, and the sun set, and crows paddling, and reflections, and red sky, and planes landing, and waves whooshing (very gently mind), and stone pile building (See extra)  was an adventure.  

Look out 2016; you are gonna be my year of adventures!
