Christmas 2008


Well, it’s coming to the end of this year and it’s only right that I follow my heart in writing my usual end of year/ beginning of next thoughts and feelings. As much as I want to be a ‘What you see is what you get’ kind of person, and I think I am mostly, there are parts of me, like the flow of a river, a current that resonates underneath, that I’m not sure I want the whole world to see or read.
It’s not that I’m hiding it from people, just that I want to show honour to that part of me and keep it in it’s little quiet room which the plate ‘Privacy’ on the door.
I bought a diary, as I do every year, from Paper chase. Upon it 2009 beckons!
I love writing but being a lazy sort of bird, I prefer to tap my days out. Less exertion and more flavour :O)
So here’s the deal, you get to read my diary but I keep some things edited and in my personal book, printed out and not handwritten but stuck in and locked up all the same.

But you don’t have to tell anything I hear you all say, oh really? Firstly, it’s by my nature that I love to write, secondly, I believe that by showing the lighter side to life people begin to realise that we are all naked underneath this façade of ours and finally I want to do it, not to please you but because it’s something I want to do and if you know anything about me, you would know that it’s an unusual day that I don’t get what I want.
Are you spoilt Christina? No, I’m not spoilt, just know what I want and have drive and ambition to get it.

If I do come across a shut door, I just reline my thinking that God’s done it for a reason and I move on.

So here’s to it, raise your glasses and let’s say a big YAY to the online journal about to approach.
Enjoy…

thinking it's a loving thing to do, to put to use the gifts we've been graced with - honours the Giver as well as bringing blessing to the recipient and to those who find their way to the light of honesty and truth :-)
