197 days ago I wrote this post.The days stretched out before me like a long flat desert road to an oasis.
But they have slipped through my fingers like crystal clear water.
And tomorrow we fly!
I love my life in New Zealand. But I also love that I can get on an aeroplane and be transported back to my life in South Africa - a life which is still there waiting for me to step back into, thanks mostly to the wonderful people that live there - the people who have known me the longest.
I will savour each sweet moment, each delicious day - allowing each one to embrace me like a hug, feeling it, enjoying it, returning it, letting it slip into the corners of my mind and heart so that I may retrieve it at a later date and enjoy it all over again.
And when it's time for me to get back on the aeroplane and fly back to Auckland, I know my beautiful life here will be waiting to welcome me home.
Life is a continual circle of hello's and goodbyes,
beginnings and endings,
looking forward and glancing back,
some things change, some things stay the same.
Tomorrow we fly!
Have a wonderful time!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy jour journey and have a good time in South Africa!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
ReplyDeletethank you so much for your lovely comments yesterday, it was so kind of you and it really meant a lot. I have now put it behind me and will move on. It's so interesting what you say about calling home south africa - not nz. We have spent the last ten years living around the world and it is tough to live somewhere but secretly want to be somewhere else. I yearn to be back in my house in sydney!
ReplyDeleteforgot to say, have a wonderful time!!!
