Greetings

I have been away for so long a time. Excuses abound of course. I won't bother you with them, but let it be known I miss my blogs and my blogfriends - one (I) need(s) to do some daily/regular writings and I find my brain overloading if I don't do my writings. And I truly enjoy the communion found by reading other worthwhile blogs which I have on my list....I just haven't had the time to pop in the last 2 weeks...





As I write now, my family and I are on holiday. As I type I can see the sea a few hundred meters in front of me, I can hear the waves crash and I can smell the wet salty smell. Wonderful stuff indeed, no wonder one is inspired to write again. We are on the East Coast of South Africa. To be precise just north of East London, just south of the "Wild Coast". We are indeed lucky and privileged and full of appreciation to take such a holiday. Today the sea is a whitish grey colour - the same colour as the sky, so it doesn't feel like the middle of summer, rather the middle of winter, but just being here, relaxing and enjoying the oftimes soothing and oftimes demanding sounds of the sea is wonderful itself.





November rushed by in a swirl of exams, which I studied hard for and aced. I have already registered for next years (year 2) subjects (long distance studying). Involves subjects such as Ethics, Marriage counselling and Personality Theories. I'm a nerd I know! But the good news is I won't get started till mid January....





I hope to get to visit some of you again in the very near future on your blogs. Till then may the summer/winter treat you kindly, may there be peace and love in your life, and may you find your rest or adventure this Season. I wish all these good things on you, and for those that feel alone, perhaps no love in their lives, know that there is a season for all these things, and they too will pass....





PS this is a view of the beach where we are staying. It is one of the lesser visited places in the December holidays, so never a crowded moment, not even on the beach. At the moment, the last few days we have had overcast cool weather, but that is to be expected at the coast, and I feel for the locals knowing they desperately need rain. We'll get our sun, my mom always said "All things come to man if he/she will only wait!!"






Take care till next time

Just looking at your photo is restful. I noticed that the beach seems very wide. Maybe it's the absence of hotel or condos. I like that.

It always seems odd to me when I read about Christmas below the equator...summertime and the season just won't go together in my head. It's cold here today and windy.

Enjoy your holiday! It sounds like it was time for a rest.
