Happy New Year everyone! I have had a wonderful Christmas at home with family & friends. I was totally spoilt with lots of yummy food, lovely presents, gorgeous nephew & niece time and general lazing around.
I can't believe it's 2009, and that in 3 weeks time I will be frantically finishing my packing ready to embark on the next chapter of my life. It still feels a little unreal - I can't comprehend that I'm about to move to the other side of the world. And yet at the same time it feels all too real if you know what I mean.
Today I had to say my first goodbye. I met my good friend Rachel last time I was living in Clarens - she was teaching at the school and lived a couple of doors up from me. She also lives quite near me here so we've managed to see quite a bit of each other since being back in the UK. It's strange to think I won't see her until July now and stranger to think I'll be living in Clarens without her around the corner. I'll miss you Rach!
I was thinking of having a little goodbye gathering to invite friends from all around to but the diary has conspired against me and I just can't fit in hosting people with all the things that other friends have planned & I've committed to. But then again maybe it's easier just to slip away anyway - I don't think I could cope with too many emotional goodbyes.
I have no idea what 2009 holds for me, but I do know that this year is going to be exciting, rewarding, challenging and at times very, very hard. This time next year I know I will look back again on another year of God's grace & favour.
