(a reminder - these emails will come weekly for the month of October,

and back to just one a month after Blogtober is finished!)

It's currently 7.15am Friday morning, and your internet friend has been up for two hours already. I'm working hard on shifting my mindset when it comes to these early mornings, and instead of slurping down a third coffee and scowling at the world, I'm getting to work once the worker bees are out the door. I've completed a class for Sketchbook Revival, ticked off a couple of to-do items, and am about to start on today's blog post. It's hard to get started when the world outside is still dark, but gosh I am always glad I did when I make the effort!

I'm walking 42km this month to raise money for the Royal Flying Doctor Service, a vital link to medical care for many people in the Aussie outback. I'm aiming to add 8km to my tally this weekend after a slow start thanks to my dental surgery.
