Holidays

It has been just one day since my family and I arrived home from a holiday in Queensland. It was a much-anticipated trip and one that was relaxing and rejuvenating.

We departed from home on the day following my last in a job that had ultimately required more time and energy than I could afford to give. I was extremely fortunate to have held the position that I did and am grateful for the many positive aspects of the work, such as collaborating with some particularly extraordinary and dedicated women... but life seems to be pulling me in a different direction. I am not sure where to just yet but as usual I am trying to trust in the journey and live in the moment and am extremely grateful to have the opportunity to do just that.

For now however, my focus is firmly set on not losing the 'holiday spirit'. Not too suprisingly I guess but as soon as we hit the freeway to home I felt myself naturally drawn to thinking of all the things that needed to be attended to on our arrival. This morning I seem to be continuing in this vain... arrggghhh!

The sun rises early in Queensland and so did I. I rarely looked at the clock and decisions about meals were joyfully made on a daily not weekly basis. The main determination related blissfully to walking destinations... and there were many of inordinate beauty...
