Went to see Elizabeth and the Catapult on Thursday, and it was about 10 times better than the last time I saw her. Then I went to see my first stand-up comedy show on Friday. Tonight I'm going dancing. Actually, all nights I've been out lately except for Wednesday, which is usually another night I'm out.
The previous week I watched a lot of movies, and tried to accommodate a wish for something fresh but embraced instead the desire for comfort food. Then I got my first desire to drink alcohol multiple nights in a row.
I haven't taken a "real" vacation since December last year. This means, a full week of time off from work. It's finally catching up to me I think. It took a long time, since three day weekends are quite relaxing in their own right. I also worked through a long spell of "Maybe I should look for a new job" a month or so ago, and then embraced my job following some reshuffling.
I also well and truly am halfway done with this North Shore period. I foresee a year and a half of glorious living here, and then a move, or two in the year after that. I intend to keep learning, and continuing to desire discipleship with Jesus.
Why this sudden reflection? I don't know... perhaps because the year is half over, and it has been "longer" than it seemed. The winter went quickly, but the spring dragged and dragged. It is summer now, as of last Sunday, and I can see that this life is a struggle, but a beautiful one.
