How time flies! Over a year since I made an entry here. Lots of things happen in a year... lots of changes and lots of things that were new that are now reserved for the 'normal' pile :)

Been listening to Matthew West this afternoon after finishing school, and listening to his song "Something to Say", I was reminded that my life is a testament to God's goodness, and I need to say that more often! Since coming to live here, some things, I'm ashamed to admit, I've started to take for granted... mostly linked with the financial stability of living here. Being able to get a meal for $1.30 is something you'd never be able to get anywhere else in the world, going to the movies for free, but only having a choice of one or two English movies each week... the randomness of life here has become normal. I've realised that here, it's particularly important to learn to listen to my body, to make sure that I'm looking after myself and my health. I guess I'd come to expect that others would pull me up on things when I wasn't doing well, and as such, I surrendered my responsibility over my own life. But my health is my responsibility, and I'm learning that it's an art, a learned skill, to listen to your body, and know what kinds of decisions need to be made to keep that delicate balance!

I have so many thoughts running around my head, lots of what-ifs, lots of questions and ponderings.. I really must remember to post more often! But for now, it's goodbye!
