Don't cry because its over, smile because it happened.

Well blog I haven't been on speaking terms with you for a while but I thought I might give you a chance on this cold wintry night when there's nothing good on TV :-)

Recent happenings over the past few weeks have sort of all merged into one - can't believe May is almost over! However, in amongst this blur I have suddenly been shaken to a halt and reminded that I am leaving for Africa in a little over a months time. SHITE!

But within this blur there have been some clear moments shining down on me that really will be some of the most memorable experiences I will treasure for a lifetime...

Funny story
Or disturbing story for those of you who are green hippies out there. I am doing a drug test and a sleep study within the next two months to earn enough money to go overseas! WOO HOO bring on the $2000! Its amazing what you will put yourself through to have a great time overseas... I am sure I will enjoy it even more now if I am not paralyzed or mentally retarded after these studies :-) Hehehehehe shouldn't joke...

Amazing moment and true Disney fantasy story
Something which has made me loathe Adelaide and rather than result in a happy ending has made me a grumpy bitch ;-) Don't worry I'm sure this little home town of mine will become lovable soon enough again and I will remove this dark "pity me" cloud away from around my head! So yes this 'moment,' actually lasted an entire weekend in Mt Buller, Victoria last week. WOW - not only breathtaking scenery but special moments that I will treasure. After climbing a mountain, tobogganing the snowy terrain, toasting marshmellows, floating on top of the world at sunset and spewing in a toilet (while it is not the first time I have spewed it is the first time a toilet has had that pleasure!) after too much booze I was truly convinced I was going to give it all up and become a mountain hermit. Except instead of living in a cave I would live in a lodge, and instead of becoming a hermit I would be a social butterfly entertaining with scores of friends every weekend in a spa and sauna ;-)

Feeling special
For a couple of days at least ;-)...Being able to be appreciated for who I was, sharing awesome conversations as usual and catching up with really close friends and meeting generally decent people convinced me how much I love Melbourne.

Acknowledging what I have here in this moment
A great support group of girls who I can splurge my goss to, telling them when I feel rotten and being there as a shoulder to rest on is something I know I am going to dearly miss and will be the moments that will always bring me back to my home town of Adelaide or to wherever there feet may land.

Sometimes even though it might amaze you that 6 months is already over of your life you can always remember those special moments in life that don't just remain moments but live in your heart for eternity and continue to play over and over again. Something to keep you stable, still and at peace when the rest of the world is rushing by.
