Cheers to family, new experiences and life.


I have just got back from a refreshing holiday, after fresh air, sunny days and family I am preparing myself for the return of school life. I can say with great pleasure I have only a short period left to go. I am excited and scared. There is one point about finishing that screams with joy that a new life will start, filled with adventures, experiences and a whole new journey. However there is that other part which remains still- stagnant almost fearing this outbreak from the norm.
For almost 12 years school has just become habit. Soon there will be new opportunities just knocking at the door so to speak. A job, university, reality? One extremely
exciting thing to look forward to, a word in which I love… love.
No Travel. May I mention I do like the word love too. But to Travel would be a future dream.
I am proud to mention I have no experience I have barely traveled outside a few states.
The only experience I really have is the Tourism course I am undertaking.
An alchemy of goodness just floating; soaring more like, above my head filled with eager anticipation and excitement.
For this dream to become reality I know that if I keep an open mind and loads of dedication I will basking in the sun in Greece, running through the rain in England and exploring the language of Lithuania.
One question I am constantly being asked is, what I will do after I leave school? I’m sure this is a frequently asked question, that has been asked from generation to generation because, of course people what to know what you will do, what you will make of yourself.
I always refer back to Shakespeare for this one;
‘We may know who we are, but not what we may become’
My favorite response was from my Pop who stated with his big old smile ‘Well kid that is a great way to look at it’ I also love my Mums perspective which is that at her age she still doesn’t know exactly what she wants to do.
On that topic of family, after spending time on my holiday with my dear Sister and my Nephew.
Making star angels on the beach, feeding bird and fish, searching for treasure and having my 17 month year old Nephew throw sand at me we came to agreement.

Being able to share time with those you love has its effect on you.
I was able to return home full of abundant ray of happiness. The only thing is how quick it can be before you miss someone. I have been fine up until today. I mean I usual love being by myself, the freedom, the quietness, time to ponder, dream and refresh.
On the contrary I have made the most of today being by myself, I have came to the understanding of finding joy in life, big or small.
One part of life at the moment which I find that sense of joy is yoga- I have started doing it a while back and I love it! It has allowed a huge flow of energy to re enlighten me, make me smile.
I feel healthier, happier and balanced which helps. I find that it helps me focus on all that I may have going on in my life, turn it to positive and sends me
on my own journey of discovery.
There you have it, lets cheers to the joy of new experiences, the passion for living, the gift of family, love and yoga.

express it and perhaps it will flow with another.' ~whispers from a gypsy
