there's always a first
I have succumbed to goodly peer pressure and put my life on tentative display! well, that is if I am faithful enough to keep this going.. here's hoping huh Meg? Just want my SSS to know that I miss them and am completely envious of the fact that they are in the same place at the same time..and that this journal is a direct product of their ability to make me feel hideously guilty for being such a horrible correspondent.
My head is aching dully right now and that screams longingly for the bliss of my beautiful bed. Our dentist and his family came over for dinner tonight.. we made NASI LEMAK! He studied in India and visited S'pore, so he became acquainted with the bliss we call Singaporean food.
I MISS LAKSA.
The Sunday School concert and Shekinah Dunn's first birthday party are finally over. Ever since we got back from S'pore it has been a mad rush of rehearsals and brain cracking. The Sunday School concert was gorgeous because the kids remembered all their parts and performed like little angels! Working with the kids made me wonder just what my kids would be like. There are so many varieties: irritatingly good, saccharine sweet, infuriatingly naughty, cunningly provocative, mischievously funny, plain cuddly...Scary part is that we don't exactly get a part in the choice! Not that I'm a control freak but I'd love that perfect combination. Guess it will be perfect to me in the end whatever it is.
Becka has been making me cry. with happiness that is. I am so blessed in having a wonderful sister of my heart like her. She made me a lovely journal for Europe, in full recognition of the fact tht I'm a sentimental compulsive collector of memories and scribbling. AND she made me a personalised cushion!! Stuff dreams are made of :) It is covered in pictures of our family and me in my growing years as well as letters and cards from them. Beautiful is an insufficient adjective and Love is an understated emotion. I am so very blessed.
I've still got alot to say but I really have to hit my bed hard. I'm in the middle of a 3 day workshop on preventative action against substance abuse in schools and I'll have to overdose on caffeine myself if I stay up any longer.
I just found out that one of the kids I worked with this year is in jail for attempted murder. Happy ending for another who found an adoptive home at 16 and is living in Ladysmith now with a very bright future before him. You win some you lose some.
Cest la vie.
