Sunday 18th December 2022....
The day Argentina beat France to win the world cup.
I didn't see any of the football matches but I just kept an eye on the score. I like it when the 'underdogs ' win, although I like Messi and glad he got to win the title at last after his long, great career.
I digress. Haha not like me at all!
When I started this blog, it was for a reference to keep track of my travels and journeys. It's been a good accountability exercise plus a great confidence boost in discipline. I often feel like I'm undisciplined and unstructured which isn't really a problem for me but I have moments of trying to squeeze my unconventional mind in a very square box and internally blast myself for lack of... well, everything. This blog has been my daily habit since 1 July 2021 and I'm chuffed with myself for sticking to it.
My writing style is usually very emotional and deep, with a slash of humour and in my early days, one of my friends asked why my blog wasn't like my usual writing. It's been more diary style and I've noticed since getting back to South Africa that it's not had as much soul. Perhaps it's because I don't have as much time on my own, or perhaps it's because everything is familiar to me. I do try look at my world with fresh eyes every day but when the automatic processes kick in, it's easy to slip away from each moment.
Today I met up with two school friends which was lovely. The one is a grandma who had the two littlies visit and I watched the younger one play in the sand and grass, totally consumed in the moment. It was a nice reminder of using the imagination to play, create and be and I pondered on this on my quiet drive back.
I've missed my creative play as I slipped into familiar. But it's also been necessary to do this too, so I'm reminding myself that everything in my life had built up to this exact moment, just as it should be. ( Just like the massive sign at the British Open Golf reminded me this year)
Life is great.
