Thank you for the comments, and the thoughts and prayers: they are greatly appreciated. I look forward to catching up with all your news in the next week or so: I have a lot of reading to do! :)
Thanks be to God things are going well: the anxiety is still with me, but at a more manageable level. I am back at work and doing alright there: a number of things are keeping me busy and keeping my mind occupied. Work has been a bit draining, so much so I've been sleeping the weekends away. God willing I'll be back at church this Sunday, participating in the services of Great Lent as we approach the Feasts of Feasts, Pascha (Easter) -- which, wonderfully, we Eastern Orthodox will celebrate at the same time as our brothers and sisters in the Western churches.
Apart from work and sleep, not a lot has occupied my time. I, with almost everyone else in Sydney it seemed like, went in to the city Tuesday to see the Queen Mary II and Queen Elizabeth II gracing Sydney Harbour. My goodness: the QM2 is certainly a big ship. The QE2 also, no doubt, but it did look rather tiny when compared to the QM2. Fireworks went off, and traffic ground to a halt all day as people stopped to get a look. Sophisticated city Sydney? All it takes is a ship to make us go ga-ga.
In the next month or so I'll be seeing a few films as part of the French Film Festival, the Sydney Arab Film Festival and Opera Australia's performance of The Marriage of Figaro. Oh, and hopefully update my wiblog a bit more.
Thank you all again for the prayers: God bless you all.
