Home and Awake

It is Monday morning, March 1st and at 03.25 I thought "blow this...I'm getting up!". So now 2 hours and 1 cup of tea later, I have been getting my day in order, diary, emails, reflecting, LOVING the silence! Yes Frances, I can really relate to that! The new Indian carpet is in the hall, the bedspread, soon to be front door curtain is awaiting measuring and inspiration, the kitchen voile door curtain is the perfect colour match, just needing the curtain rail at some point when we get a chance to go to B&Q or somewhere! So you see I spent my money on useful things! (defensive).

I am still dreaming that I am in India and then waking up confused...weird feeling!

What I am loving...

Cold milk with cereal!
Fresh fruit and veg, last night we ate veg stir fry with jelly and satsumas!
Feeling the rain and breeze on my face
Seeing my friends again (not that you aren't...but you get my drift!)
Mugs of steaming tea and coffee
Lush green grass and spring bulbs poking though
Fresh eggs from my chickens
Silence and reflection
Not having to drink bottled water and apply hand gel...

What I am missing...

My Indian friends who are either working or living in the slum communities day in day out and all that that means...
The big welcoming smiles and open hearts
Colour
Banter!
30 degrees!
Wearing Salwar Kameezes
Hearing the stories

What I am challenged about...

Yeovil Prayer support group?
How can we be more helpful to Asha in the future?
Learning Hindi
Developing a South West Network
Informing others about the work
