The big day has arrived. Jessica ready to hit the road. An inter-rail adventure together with 3 of her best friends is starting today leaving by plane for Berlin, Germany. Time flies, I so clearly remember the excitement I felt as a young teenager when about to embark on a journey somewhere, this love for exploring new places is still very alive in me and I am so happy that my daughter loves to take a look at the big wide world too! Thank God she is a lot wiser than I was at that age and therefor I can let go of worries and concerns! If I managed to keep out of trouble she for sure will too!
Never before though have we been parted for a months time so this will be a completely new experience for both of us. It will be good for both of us knowing that in our hearts we are never far apart :) Happy trails dear Jessica!
Today is the first day of my summer-break from teaching school. Strange feeling to suddenly have all this free time to use for anything..... as always my first reaction is complete inertia, drained of energy and ideas. It is what it is! I am just resting in the place of witnessing my inertia, not judging, not trying to change anything, just staying with what is. This is a fascinating experiment as my nature would be to try to get really busy or start to nag at myself for being so inactive! No, not this time, my new intention is to enjoy inertia and let it be a part of my life as well as the times when I'm active and creative :)
So enjoy whatever is and be gentle with yourself!
It is what it is. How true, how true! :-)- D
