The LibranHorse: A Fiction Writer's Circle.

That Mary MacGregor song goes through my head as I write these words. Have been living in Tasmania for the past two years and have made the decision to move back to NSW. This has been the hardest decision we have had to make. This is a magical island full of wondrous things. NSW means a move back to the familiar and the family. This is not necessarily the best :( Circumstances have meant that we need to be back in NSW and that is where we will be in one week's time. I have regretted having to make this choice of love or duty. More on this later.

How can we know when we are appreciated? Should we take it for granted that we are doing a good job until told otherwise? Why does it need to be this way? Why can't people just tell us 'thank you' , 'you did a good job', 'I love you' without making us 'earn' the compliment. Why is it so easy for people to say negative things rather than positive ones? Where has common decency gone? Where are basic manners?

I suppose if I knew everything that I know now then, would I do anything differently? Question of the century? Yes in some ways I would like to know when certain events were to occur so I would be better prepared. I don't believe we should rewrite our own history but then why not? I suppose we learn from our 'mistakes' as this is how we grow to maturity and pass on our life experiences and knowledge to others.
