Christ is Risen! Thank you for your prayers and support on my previous post. By them, and by the grace of God, today was a good day. And there has been much good in the last few weeks. A glorious 4 days in Tasmania: need to get the photos up soon. Eating, talking, driving, reading, walking, bushwalking... Wondrous. Great colleagues who have supported me when I asked for it and who have stopped the questioning on medication. Having two dear friends living in the US call me to wish me a Happy Birthday. Great friends who keep in touch across the ocean via e-mail and friends closer to home who do the same. Sharing meals with dear friends. The kind comments and support I receive here which do encourage and sustain me. A blessed journey through Holy Week to Pascha, the Feast of Feasts, through the Church's services and various spiritual readings. A blessed journey through Holy Week to Pascha, the Feast of Feasts, with sharing a bit more with parishioners, friends, and getting to know a parishioner a bit better and sharing our thoughts post-services over tea or coffee on the services as well as our own struggles in life. A great Easter Sunday with my family, particularly Skye and Eden [Jessie slept through...] Talking via Skype with a dear Canadian friend and his wife on our Easter Sunday and their Great and Holy Saturday. Compliments, which though embarrassing to me I tried to accept, tried being the key word, on my work -- and a bit of a pay jump this week for overtime which was a nice surprise [was not expecting time-and-a-half nor some double time]. After the completion of my course [still need to do the assignment...] returning to trivia tonight and having a great time: even if we faltered rather a bit in round 2 -- it is all good and good fun
