…a brief glance…

Ranting about one thing or another, I think I lost the plot in the previous Blog. I always start with direction, and somehow get sidetracked. Welcome to my World!!!

Started looking into flights home, and as sad as it may seem, I’m actually getting excited about it. Mainly because I know that this particular season in my life, in London is drawing to a close, for a reason, and definitely with purpose.

If only I could get my butt into gear about getting my gear together. Things to do…
1.) Book flight home
2.) Organise stuff to ship home
3.) Organise getting new person to take over my room
4.) Do a little more travel
5.) Possibly find a Temp Job paying more
6.) See all the places I still want to see in London
7.) Spend quality time with my nearest and dearests
8.) Stop procrastinating!

Feels kind of weird to know I’m going home. It takes me back to two years ago when I realised I was finally going to London. I remember that it hit quite hard , but there was a sense of peace and definite excitement about it. Going home, definitely has that feel to it, which is why I am more than confident that I am progressing to a new season. I am soo going to miss a fair few people. They know who they are. Without these significant people in my life here in London, my stay would not have been as fruitful…for some as CHALLENGING! =)

I feel so incredibly blessed to have had this opportunity. To have had the support I’ve had to follow this dream of mine of coming to London for as long as I can remember. It wasn’t just me that got me here, but my Family and Friends who have done nothing but encourage a dream, I never thought I was brave enough to reach. Almost two years later, so much has changed, and I hope that I have changed for the better, that I have become perhaps a little wiser. A little more responsible, with a better vision for what I want in the years ahead. I feel that in the last year or so new dreams have formed and new goals have been set. I thank God daily for the clarity he provides not only when I need it most, but most of the time I am able to decipher, and with the prominent people he has placed in my life, I receive confirmations.

I know that when I go home, it’s not going to be as I have left it. It would be naive and somewhat silly to think that the lives I left behind would be the same, that friendship would be the same, relationships…in many ways, I almost hope not. I plan to come back with the intention of new beginnings. In saying that, it’s nice to know that there is at least one friendship that hasn’t changed, you know who you are. It?s awesome to see that despite the time and distance, I am still a part of your world. That means more than you could ever possibly imagine. I appreciate that you didn’t put our friendship on hold for my return to just pick up when I came back! For sharing the changes from your world and mine as they happen. Ta Matey!

This weekend Ashe and I are going to hang out and just chill. We’re going to Leatherhead to ‘Mary’ and then head back to mine for some Vegies (haha) and a lot of Dawsons Creek! Yay! Next weekend Ashe and I are doing the whole Roomie thing again at her house, and Saturday evening Nibs and I are going to hang out with Grumpy to celebrate his SURVIVING his 7 hour exam! Should be fun!

The weekends ahead are certainly filling up quickly, and I cannot comprehend how fast time is passing by! I am doing my outmost to make the most of it. Seeing people, and spending time with friends. Seeing places. I am truly enjoying hanging out with J & C. They are my saving graces at work, for without them, I would be rocking myself back and forth in a corner! =) Thanks for the laughter guys?Paris is going to sooo ROCK! Mental note to J & E, throw C into the pool!

Well, with only 20 minutes to go, I think I’ll sign off. Head on upstairs at 4:15 on the dot and hang with my homies! Hehe!

Have a great weekend!
