I’m in the middle of a life changing chain of events at the moment. It’s the kind of situation that has seen me take many long walks in the late winter sun, deep in thought. I know that you know just how much of my life I’ve poured out into the posts of this blog but things are different this time. The difficulties are not mine alone and hence I don’t think it’s my right to disclose them in such a public space.
Decisions that need to be made keep turning over in my mind, seemingly in time to the rhythm of the wind that rustles the bare branches of the trees above me. The gentle shushing soothes me, reassures me that it will all work out in the end, whatever choice I make. The soft sun that filters through touches my skin and gives me at least one thing in the day to enjoy and be thankful for.
With a head and heart so full right now, it stands to reason that blogging has taken a very distant back seat in my life for now. The kind of writing I enjoy and that I think you like to read hasn’t been flowing as easily as it did and should. It would defeat the purpose of this blog if we were both forced to be here out of habit alone.
I’m heading back to Perth for another visit tomorrow and will be away for a few weeks. It will be time to reflect on the past, the current sombre times and to make decisions. But above all, to be surrounded by the unconditional love and support of family. It’s the kind of love that comforts, inspires, strengthens and reassures. It’s the kind of love I hope I will one day be able to give back exponentially.
I don’t know when I’ll be back but in the mean time, take care of yourselves and live the life you have now as fully as you can. I will promise to do the same and may we meet back here soon.
Lots of love,
