Refreshing

I am back I promise! Just haven't had the internet for a month or so.... but here I am.

I have been loving my Job so much recently that I have been forgetting to take a day off. So today I took a day off! and it was amazing!

I slept in.

Then drove out to Dangar falls and sat by the river and read a book.

Then walked out to the Waterfall viewing and read some Psalms. They were so amazing you couldn't help but Praise the creator.

Then on the drive to the aboriginal keeping place and looked around. There was some amazing artwork. If I had the money and could justify spending a couple of thousand on artwork I so would of. There was this one that told the story of Kevin Rudd saying sorry. It was amazing!!! seriously if I was u I would jump in your car and drive to Armidale to see it (and me!!)

Then I went to the New England Art Museum.

Found a funky Cafe, with a real good BLT and Homemade iced Tea.

Went for a shop.

Then painted a painting.

That was a Soul Refreshing day-off.

Happiness

I remember years ago Eva Burrows was talking at one of my high school assemblies and she said this quote that has stuck with me...

"Happiness is like a butterfly: the more you chase it, the more it will elude you. But if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder." Thoreau

So 5 days ago I moved from Sydney to Armidale and a whole bunch of things changed for me. I live in a new city (Is Armidale classed as a City?), I live in a new house, I have a new phone number, I have a new car, I have a completely new job, I even got really sunburnt last week and am peeling so I even have a new layer of skin :0)

I have to admit leading up to the move I was getting a little anxious, it just seemed like so much was about to change and I was quite happy with were I was at, I was comfortable in life. I shared my thoughts with a wise friend of mine who said to me 'there is one thing that is still the same, and that is the one who has called you'.

So true.... God is here.

In the past 5 days that anxiousness has gone and the peace has settled in, I'm loving my new role, I am loving Armidale. I keep having little moments where I know I am in just the right place at just the right time.

like the other dayI was walking through the Lamb and Potato festival wearing my straw hat (cause that's how it's done in North NSW) and a butterfly landed on my arm....

Happiness.
