Clarity & Relaxation - Bliss


The Clarity??

Yesterday (Sunday) I fretted a bit. Some of the projects that have been promised & confirmed - I was still awaiting confirmation of dates. I mentioned my frustration to Steve & Nita (my neighbours) to which they responded with, "Welcome to Africa". Things do happen a bit slow & there is no point hassling folk. Being me though- this laid back approach has a tendency to increase my blood pressure. But then - I got a call from Margi - she is s Occupational Therapist who is in private practice & inputs into a day service for complex non verbal children with severe learning disabilities. So it is all sorted - I spend the next few days there. They have already identified a couple of children that they want some help with? Agghhhh!!!! I hope that I can deliver.

The Relaxation?

Its the view that does it for me. Last night having gone out to dinner with my neighbours - I sat on the balcony -played my guitar (quite badly) & supped some very good South African wine. The moon reflected off the sea & brought an unusual lightness to the area. Almost as though the dark was too dark & so the moon lit up - rose from level with the horizon to high in the in the sky & gave us one last look at the sea. The picture doesn't quite do it justice - but it brought me a lovely sense of relaxation. What bliss.

Hi Kate
Great to read your blog.
Has any of the work you were hoping for materialised yet?
What is the general attitude towards children with learning disabilites / challenging behaviours there?
Have you visited any provisions for them?
Have you learned to relax yet?
