December has been a very trying month for me. I got to the stage where nothing was going right, I had nothing and no-one and I couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel. Now, when you hit rock bottom, all you can do is think. Thinking sometimes is a good thing. You know,it kinda puts everything into perspective. (That is of course if you can calm yourself down and not go into fits of tears and change your motto to "My life is a graveyard full of burried hopes "). The thinking was a real good thing as I then started analyzing my year... and ..... geewiz!!!! WHAT HAVE I DONE THIS YEAR?!?! I've been on 13 flights, had 5 farewells, travelled to 5 continents, had 4 different jobs and 3 places i called "home". (Thank goodness I only had one hairstyle...)
I went from London to Bournemouth then SA and back again to London, then somewhere in the year i've seen Ireland, Scotland, Liverpool, Chester, the Drakensberg, New Zealand, Mt Ruapehu, Rotorua, Auckland.... basically, what i'm trying to say is CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE EXPLAIN TO THE BLONDE WHY SHE THINKS HER LIFE IS SUCH A BORING MISERY?!?! For goodness' sake! There are actually people who are (1) still living in the same house; (2) still have the same job; (3) drive the same car; (4) go to the same gym every day; (5) wear the same clothes...... what the...?
What I'm trying to say is, that I'm such a drama queen and when I think my life is boring and pointless, I just have to sit down and think of every single person in my life that have contributed to all these amazing experiences and the corner's of my mouth will oh-so-slowly turn into a smile and within no time I will be in a memory-wonderland craving for the next adventure that is sure to lie around the corner. So basically, I decided to stop moaning (Michelle, you should not take me serious on this). Even if my car battery is flat, and the key do not manually fit into my door, and the locksmith cant open my car, and the tow-truck cant tow my car, and after lifting my car on a flatbed they deliver my car at the wrong place...... after 5 days of tears and frustration (also 1 x bottle of Tequila) and finally breaking my car window.... ALAS! I WILL NOT MOAN. Michelle always says "shame corkie, these things happen to you because you can handle it". Or maybe its my multiple-personalities that can handle it. (I specifically choose to mention this because I only have ONE personality and am only 3 dimentional............ *dramatic pause*.......... i do NOT have 13 dimentions as Jason says).
So all I can say is that I'm so excited as to what next year will bring me! As most of you know, I am back in SA and the first question everybody asks me, is: "Are you back for good?"..... who knows people?! Is anything "for good"? My life is not predictable and I've made peace with the fact that my life is not quite normal in terms of: first school, then study, then marry, then children. My life is full of adventure, sometimes I create them and sometimes they accidentally happen. (Kinda like a roof collapsing without any warning. Lene would know. Haha!).
Hope you all had a fabulous christmas and NY's!!!
