I met someone today who had a look at my blog. And a friend last week made a comment that she's waiting for some updates. I'm always surprised to hear or read that my thougths have been looked at, my words have been read.
I've been very lazy to write these past months. I had lots of thoughts, but perhaps it wasn't the time to share them.
A very close acquaintance passed away in November. She was my mother's best friend, and I also knew her since I was a child. A sweet, goodhearted, gentle person. She was like a second mother to me.
My mother came for a visit in December. Great time, lots of fun. The holidays passed very quickly. I stayed here in Edinburgh, because the guesthouse was open, so I was working. I had a lovely traditional Christmas dinner at Roddy's.
I'd been at home in January for two weeks. Catching up with parents and friends. I started to take up Yoga classes. And I stopped with my Portuguese. At least for some time.
February has brought something of a surprise. I need to learn to accept life's gifts. I need to learn to be able to receive blessings.
