"We must remember that one determined person can make a significant difference, and that a small group of determined people can change the course of history." (Sonia Johnson)
Remember Hadassah - Esther, Queen of Persia
*** 28 sleeps to go ***
Life is grand I have decided - watching hot air balloons each morning rise above our house and adorn the rising sun as India and I travel to Seminary, cockatoos flock across the sky to grab their favourite perches in the pine trees at the end of our street, and the autumn glow begins to dot the surrounding landscape.
As Gabi rode off to the station at 6.30am one morning last week, in time to catch the train to work, a small flock of birds flew frantically low across in front of her at the end of our street, and there in hot pursuit was a gorgeous reddy/orange FOX - in our street - what an unexpected and magnificent sight. I knew I should make our new OLYMPUS 4/3 Digital SLR with Pen technology (which has all the insides of a normal DSLR - ALL the benefits without the size) camera a part of my everyday attire (a missed opportunity! Of course, yes, me - running down the street after a fox ... hee hee).
As I think back over the last 5 - 6 months and all that entails, I give a big sigh of relief. There has been a major shift in our family's way of doing things, and thus it has been a LESS highly strung and drama-free household (and extended family) we are a part of. We have eliminated from our lives so many unnecessary irritants, and not so much un-recognised, but tolerated negativity, that we are able to focus more on our lives with the Saviour, and not the dramas of others. Such a weight has been lifted.
