A disjointed return...
So much has changed since I last wrote. In the past year, I have made friends and lost friends. I have loved my job and hated my job. I have moved houses, friends, countries, and my life. But the thing that I think has changed most is that I feel like I have walled myself in.
And knowing it I guess puts things in perspective. I have spent the last week clearing up my head, making phone calls that were pending for weeks and writing back to people who care. I have spent time getting to know my city better and to read.
Writing lengthy emails reminded me of why I had started writing here in the first place, and like many times before, I hope to continue writing on. About brighter things and about the dull.
On a lighter but more serious note, I've found my lunchtime get-away close to office. It's a cafe that serves the biggest sandwiches I have ever eaten and is located next to a water fountain which will be a delight to sit by come winter. Best of all, they do a great glass of orange juice.
I spent lunch there today, thinking about the loss of one person in my life I miss most. And I know I will continue to miss her.
Until next time,
M
