Today I waved my gorgeous sister and her beautiful daughter goodbye and they flew back to NewZealand after 3 wonderful weeks of their company.
Each time I sit with my sister and talk I get to vent, philosophise, laugh, dream. It is a safe time where words don't so much get documented, they get digested, with the lovely taste of good thought, good feeling, good intentions.
So I am sad, my house is empty and I am alone once again in this country I have made my home. It is an ominous thought, to think in this entire country I feel alone.
It is simply this moments thought and it will pass.
I am not alone really, perhaps for a short space I want to be? To hold a while the yellow plastic mobile phone my niece left behind, push the buttons once and a while closing my eyes listening to the tinny 'bring bring' and that annoyingly catchy tune it plays, and picture her cheeky smile.
Oh, woe is me!
I am smiling at myself now, I am such a big sap, I remember always trying to be the tough chick. Might still be tough but a heart of pure vegan marshmallow beats within my chest.
May the day bring you at least one joy, and the thing with joy is, where there is one, there is always another... today I embark on that journey... to steal half a name from a friend here in tools, I am Joyhunter... Wait, that doesn't look quite right...
JOY HUNTER EXTRAORDINAIRE!!!
Lots of love,
me

Oh the joy
Of having great friends that you can really relate to/with. They are worth their weight in gold. Onwards and upwards Joyhunter. Angie
Looks great!
Like the sound of that! What doesn't look right about it. Don't be sad about an awesome visit with your family. You may have to leave for a bit but there will be the next visit and until then you can reflect on the great time you spent with them! You can really take the time to think about what you talked about and love it even more. If I have learned anything yet here at Tools it is to change any negative thought into a positive one. So make it a Smile of Hope! After all it was a smile!
