It is a month today since 'the move'. I'm not sure whether I should be glad about this or if I should burry my face in pillows and cry. I am inclind towards the later. This month has been hard and to be quite honest, I'm worn out. When I start feeling low, I usually try to find all the things I'm thankful for and reflect on those things, but today that has been hard to do.

This past week I was blessed with some really great company, first there was the time spent with cousins, and just this past weekend we got to see our adpoted California cousins. I really treasure the time spent with great company, but somehow when I try and be thankful for this time all I can hold fast to is how hard it was to say good bye.

Goodbyes have always been really hard for me, especially when I know it will be a long time before I see those I have to bid farewell. Often times it takes me several weeks to bounce back to being myself again. I suppose the disadvantage to really enjoying being with friends and family is that it makes it all the harder to part each others company. it is a price that I am more than willing to pay though.

I can't leave this post without including something of value so I shall leave you with Psalms 16:11. it is my radio station's verse of the day.

"You have made known to me the path of life;
You will fill me with joy in your presence,
with eternal pleasures at your right hand."

I might not feel as though I am filled with joy, but I will endeavour to rejoice in the knowledge that my Lord is by my side and that he will carry me through even the hardest days which life sets before me.
