Welcome

Hello, we have decided to start this blog at least partly as a way to motivate ourselves to make some changes in our lives. We have increasingly found ourselves busier and busier with no time for anything except work and veggin' in front of the TV. Mary is extremely busy as Managing Director of her company Mammoth Health in Geelong, Australia and I am kept busy by my job as Executive Officer of the Australian Camps Association. We have both been wrestling with this for some time as we both love our jobs - but we miss the things we did together in the past. This included gardening, walking, spending time with our kids as a family and I even managed to get Mary into golf for a while.

Our problem is that both of our jobs are at least partly about getting people to slow down and experience life more - but we are having trouble taking our own advice. So this blog will be our attempt to document the things we do to try to rectify this. We will make some false starts I am sure - but hopefully we will be able to at least occasionally get off the merry-go-round to make sure we appreciate the things and the time we have.
