::@:: Reality of Dreams ::@::

Well I am currently at my parents and on Saturday my parents and I will head down south staying overnight at a Travel Lodge (or similar type thing) before at last the end of this new beginning begins… or something like that.

So needless to say I have left the old flat after (nearly) six years of staying with Andy, (nearly) 10 years in Edinburgh I have left… it was not as easy as I thought it would be. I am not generally an emotional person… well… not publicly at least. It is weird to think that it is quite likely I will never again walk up those flights of stairs to my home… that being said I still hope to walk up them again to visit a good friend.

Anyway enough of this sentimental rubbish… My leaving do’s were fantastic and may I recommend Iglu to anyone in need of an intimate and amazing, if slightly expensive, meal on Saturday with sme good friends, some who I have not seen as often as I would have liked in recent time. I say do’s as I had my farewell from the church on Sunday which started in the morning by being prayed over by the youth fellowship and Ian (the minister)… this for those of you not familiar with such practices is a powerful symbol and sign on blessing. The end of the day was a time of fellowship and food with the youth fellowship.

So now the time of preparation continues, my mum is helping me pack… she has much skill in this field and also finding out what I need to get before I go. The full extent of this move is beginning to don on me and is quite over-whelming but I still believe this is the right path for my life and so I know that no matter what comes it will be, in the end, for my good and my development.

May I take this time to thank everyone who reads this for their good thoughts, kind words, gifts, and prayers. It has been a humbling time, thank you all. Anyway I better get on and get more stuff sorted and packed.
