Its been a crazy few days. Yesterday I went to Sydney to say goodbye to my family. It was OK, no fights and I managed to have a conversation with my Mums husband without getting into an argument. It was good.
Today I watch the Swans play. We won! It was raining the whole game and quite cold but im glad that I went.
Tonight was my last night in Church. Its a bit weird since I dont know how long I will be gone for. Sarah’s sermon was really good. About simplicity and small things. I really liked it. Im the big gesture type, for example, I need to change my life so I am moving to another country. It made me think about all the small stuff I never bother with that would actually make a difference to my life and to the communities that I am involved in.
It has motivated me to find the time to do the things I never bother with.Things like praying, reading, yoga, stretching, breathing exercises (I dont breathe properly and it helps to make the anxiety issue bigger). Also things like cooking and cleaning.
Maybe I dont need to travel the world to be able to understand my place in it. Maybe I can do things on a smaller scale and it will be all good. I still think I need a year to straighten my mind out, I just dont need to be doing expensive or elaborate things during this year.
I went to the Swans game last night. It was so exciting. I have been unable to get hyped up about the footy starting because I have been too busy, but once I was there it was great.
Unfortunately the Swans lost by 1 point to West Coast. They were playing crap for the first half and were getting into it by the end, starting to look like a team again. I think we are in with a chance this year, but then I am biased.
We didnt get back till around midnight and I was too tried.. This morning I dragged myself up to make sure no kids turned up for the Big Day Out that we cancelled, then wend back to bed and slept till midday.
Tonight we are going to put the finishing touches on the Easter Installation. I actually think its going to work out alright. I have been a bit disappointed in the lack of support from the church and the rest of US, but Ill get over that.
