Heart Warmer

A couple of weeks ago I was all flustered in preparing and anticipating the Parkdale fair, when mr postman dropped me a surprise - An awesome parcel from a sweet dear friend Tamzine. I was yelping in glee like a chihuahua - well almost but my cat definitely looked at me funny.
How I love snail-mail!! And Even more just the thought of Tamzine taking the time to knit this beautiful scarf! It feels so good and will keep me even warmer knowing it's handcrafted by her. The photos were totally adorable! Jeez I can't remember the last time someone sent me a tangible photo, I love it all!

This is by Tamzine's gorgeous kids Amelia and Ethan, Amelia did a baby cino and Ethan I guess a "whatchamacallit" ... how cuuuuute!!! Watch out - artists in the making!!

Being away from home really put some things in different perspective, it's not a good or a bad thing it's just something you would not have felt otherwise. It's been almost 2 yrs since leaving Brisbane, and alot has happened, even this year alone! The traveling, the job/career changes, meeting new people and surviving without being dependent on anyone else, and the feelings that come up that you have to deal with and decipher - it all makes me grow up faster and quicker really. I thought it's all going to be same same but different as when I moved to the UK in my early 20's, but it is definitely not the same at all. I have different needs and standards that has to be met since then, and that's a huge player!

So while I'm living the usual life-jenga, I feel it's so much more fun of a game if I have wonderful understanding people around! I know "der" I didn't just wake up to this, but it becomes more evident and more specific when they are out of physical reach. Sometimes I wonder if I've been forgotten and fear that certain close connections will be lost, but then something like a small email, a package or anything out of the blue just snaps me out of that miserable thought! Then I give myself a reality check and credit that I would never choose friends that aren't like family to me.

All I gotta do is remember to live in the now, appreciate my loved ones and stay true to myself! ba-da-bing ba-da-boom!

Thank you Tamzine I love you so much!! xx
