Trying to stay in touch with the world while sharing my adventure, posting some photographs and recording my thoughts.

Recover and rest… because its a Sunday.

It was a great day yesterday, and a late night, so I am taking a little rest, 
 
Lots of thoughts were still stirring in my mind this morning.  Meeting “strangers” for a day, just to say goodbye again and possibly not see them (ever) again.  This year, while I am on my journey, I paid visits to lots of people in my life… some of them distant acquaintances from the past while sharing truly deep connections with other friends.  How do I balance everything, my time and effort, providing what friends expect and need vs getting what I want from a visit as well.  It is indeed a fine balance and requires thought, especially when my time in South Africa is running out.  I wish I could spend more time, with certain friends as well as in South Africa.  I wish things could have been different…  
 
I made it back to Ceres in time this morning while the braai fire was still going.  Dad already had a drink in his hand, so I had to catch up a little.  Mom and my sister joined us too and we could while the time away, outside, under the umbrella, waiting for the fire to get ready for the braai.  A great time for conversation, time to catch up on things from the past two weeks and relax.
 
After lunch, a late-ish lunch, I took a well deserved nap… and then I turned over later and took another nap, until almost 7pm.  After all the commotions of Saturday I really needed to catch up on zzz’s.  Tomorrow is another day and will be back to work while today remains a lazy Sunday.

  1. That’s why they call it Sunday-rest day ‘-) –
    I did pretty much the same surfing on the couch with a long afternoon nap ..

    Also wish you had more time in SA …
    Time stops for no one and it is in·ev·it·able that you have to return to NZ – your home now ‘-)

    ps: Depeche Mode – Get the Balance Right “-) (alternative just btw “-) )
