So I’ve been totally pathetic at keeping anywhere up to date in the blog world…and it’s strange because my whole life has kinda shifted since I last wrote!
My time in India was full of so many amazing experiences. I’m really drawn to the fact that it is such a colourful country where the unexpected nearly always interrupts your daily plans. It made me realise how ordered we can be about things back home – and how spontaneity is such a cool gift. We stayed in quite a few stunning places which threw up plenty of blissful moments - where you were sipping your pineapple juice while overlooking palm-tree lined beaches and sparkling ocean views. In contrast to that then was the travelling – the crowded overnight trains where you woke up to the sound of babies screaming and people all around you, the sweat-inducing journeys where you were bumped to death in the back of a taxi. But it took all those experiences to make the trip so memorable.
Back home then but not a return to normality for me. In the last couple of weeks I’ve started a new workplace and moved up to Woodvale – it’s been both exciting and very strange. I think both shifts have been harder than I expected and especially in the last week I’ve really struggled to find myself in both new situations. I’ve had my doubts and fears and tears. And yet I see all this newness totally as a God thing but I guess no-one said it was going to be easy. Think I’m starting to turn a corner with the house – especially when you get familiar faces at the door - and am starting to feel a few connections form in work.
So Im really glad to have made it to the weekend and am so excited about going to hear The Swell Season tonight with Rick and Sarah. Aside from listening to the lovely Mr Hansard it’ll be cool to spend time with my little bro and soon to be new sister - who have created their own piece of amazing news this week!!
