Sydney: beach babes, lapping of waves and inner journey ...
After a very hectic Summer holiday period, today marks the last day to enjoy the company of friends and nature. Today is also Australia day, a day to rediscover and appreciate all the beauty and privileges that this rich town offers to its residents.
The boys went cycling, swimming, playing Wii and PS2, hitting balls in the driving range, visiting family and friends. We also had a lot of time playing in the backyard and on the floor tickling each other and singing nice and sometimes silly songs.
We had time to go to church and to celebrate Christmas with family and friends. We also celebrated birthdays, baptisms, New Year and welcome relatives from overseas. We had some time to review and consolidate financial circumstances. It is also the time to renew and fortify our goals and dreams.
We had time: to pray, to listen to God and to people around, to read, to plan, to be reminded to focus on our dream and mission.
But most of all, after the noise of celebrations, I had the time to journey inside myself and listen to my inner voice. To go back and re-engage myself again. To appreciate my inner bliss and gifts. To be inspired and enriched by God's voice. That little inner voice. It is also refreshing to note that my husband is very supportive of all my goals and our plans.
During the last three days of the holidays, we went to the beach. It only takes about three quarters of an hour and you can be at the clasp of nature. The heat of the sun at forty degrees makes dipping in the Pacific Ocean very relaxing and soothing. My little boys became beach babes.
As I lay on the sandy shores of Palm Beach today, I could feel the softness of the sand, and the tickling laps of the waves. I felt so close to nature, so close to the Source.
After thirteen years in this illustrious city, somehow, I have almost forgotten to enjoy its beauty: white sands at Balmoral Beach, twenty-two degrees of sea water, beautiful beach babes and dudes, families in their quintessential picnic rugs, kids cycling and building sand castles.
A city which has so much to offer can be almost forgotten due to our frantic pace of life. As we try to go for and enjoy the opportunities in all our endeavours, and as we continue to contribute in this society we call our own, we should also be gracious receivers of all that it is giving us.
Wherever you live, let's enjoy the ride!
