The first month..

Visiting the in-laws for the weekend in Kei Mouth. Haven't visited in ...7 years! B was over the moon with the fact that we could visit together and I suspect that visiting together will happen more often in the future now that we stay only 180km away and not nearly 600kms! We've been down to the beach, but the town was very busy with the Bush Pig Rally that was hosted here.
The first month of our new life has been fine. We might have found a place to stay and if we decide to take the new cottage, I will be moving in next weekend. The cost still has me gasping! B has decided to stay in Kei Mouth with her grandparents until next weekend.
Work is fine - finally getting a good grip on what needs to be done daily. Still adapting to the long working hours, but they go by so fast that it doesn't really matter.
Read "Who moved my cheese" this weekend and could relate to all the principles explained in the book. Change happens and should be anticipated and lived through with a positive attitude. We have so much to be thankful for, that makes it a lot easier to be positive.
Blogged about the song "Bleeding Love" by Leona Lewis on the 4th of February, but somehow the first paragraph reverberated this week:
Closed off from love
I didn't need the pain
Once or twice was enough
and it was all in vain
Time starts to pass and before
you know it, you're frozen.
Yes. True. Frozen. Oh well.
Still miss my music. Hopefully will be able to indulge soon when I have my own place.
Surfing on the web these days is a true luxury. Access is not so much the problem as being able to spend time looking around and writing. Dreams are plenty..just can't get to getting them all together and writing them down. Soon. They revolve around a KTM 640, a "words" room and dancing. Like Martin Luther King Jnr. said on the 28th of August in 1963... "I have a dream!"
