In Melbourne the rain has come and settled in continuously. It hasn’t rained like this since 1992, so it is very much welcomed. But no matter how welcome this rain can be, continuous grey skies and dark afternoons can easily affect our moods. 

I feel that these occasions could be used in a positve way. It’s a great opportuinity for taking ‘time out’. Although it’s easy for me to say this at this point in time as I’m still on the road to recovery.  So, as I take it one-day-at-a-time, and do ‘one-thing-at-a-time’ I also manage to browse through other web sites and blogs. This time I came across an article written by Michelle Sweeney at TONIC GIFTS, on the topic of Winter Blues – it’s a good read and there are a range of interesting posts about products available from the Tonic Gifts web site.

Another enjoyable browse is over at MARAKYE if you’re interested in creative jewellery and gifts. Kylie is also into glass art and has a couple of pieces on show.

Of course, I always enjoy catching up on news at the BUSINESS MUMS NETWORK so if you’re interested in joining a supportive group of business mums pop in and have a look around.

I’ve also been updating my PRECIOUS TREASURES BLOG. I’ve chosen a new theme and added posts regarding World Youth Day Sydney 2008. The Precious Treasures web site is on hold for now and so is the EP DESIGNS web site. But I feel that I’m not too far away from the launch.

To all Melbournians – enjoy the rain!

Ciao for now, Elena
