How strange does that sound!! Got back tonight from my final 4 day VSO predeparture training and am knackered....with a capital V!! (as in very!!) its amazing just how being on training like that makes it really hit home about the reality. Not that the tickets and injections etc dont make it realistic enough but when you actually sit down with a group of really lovely people of different ages, cultures, family backgrounds and personal circumstances who are all close to departing to an in credible number of different countries to do some brilliant roles, it hugely exciting to be a part of it knowing I will have contacts worldwide. But no matter what developing country they are going to, the fear, the emotion, the excitement, the plans and the massive step into a different world with painful goodbyes needing to be made. but moreso it has made me realise what an amazingly wonderful world this is with huge diversity of really interesting, kind and lovely people there are still for me to meet and be blessed by.
Over the years in my life, situations arise!!! Some are self inflicted and some we have little control over. Just like faces come and go in our lives and often its the faces you thought would be there for ever are actually the ones surprise you and drift away sadly but hey thats life. But you know.....those few faces who still hover and pop up smiling through thick and thin just when you need them, after years of stickability,(and you know who you are....yes you there.....)but also some relatively new faces, who accept you as you are and love you regardless are the faces that I will take with me and miss so much. BUT will look forward to returning to them. This weekend I met some incredible new faces and although I may never see them again, they have made a difference to me and I am not alone in this adventure of mine. I wish them every happiness and blessing and safe adventure.
So there you go!! The days are ticking away and I suppose Im just feeling there are some things need to be said!! bUt how exciting....the thought of all the new people who will become a part of my life in the future. Tis a big big world...live it and love it x
