Home...

So I'm back home. I'm excited to be back but I must say it feels a little strange, almost like I never left, but I know I did leave and that I changed alot during my time away.

So the things I missed the most other than my family and friends?
Having the freedom to just hop in my car and go for a drive
Fresh cold milk
Poached eggs on toast
New Zealand chocolate
My queen sized bed
Hanging my washing outside on the line to dry
Showers longer than 2 minutes!
Waking up to natural light in my bedroom

So while I missed all these things while I was away and I am enjoying having them back while I am home I learned to live quite happily without them while I was on the ship. I think the biggest lesson I learned while away was to be content whatever the circumstances. I was content living in a dark cabin with no windows, sleeping on a narrow bunk bed and sharing my living quaters with 5 other females. I was content while I was there and have never had such a peace about something like I felt while I was there. I knew it was where I was meant to be which makes it a little hard being back home.
But... For those of you who dont know, I'm heading back. Back to where I felt utter contentment and where my heart was filled with so much peace and joy. And I'm excited about that.
