The happy dance

This last week, I have been anticipating the events of Friday with some dread. On paper, what I was comitting to do made sense, and within the context, seems a reasonably normal, though yes, very full plan. Talking to others, the reaction was 'are you crazy!?!', but under the circumstances, what can you do!

But, getting to the end of it, wow it was full, and long, and I wasn't sure quite how I was going to change gears again once I was done, but I did it! I wanted to sing out loud and do the happy dance: 'I did it, I did it!' because well, it was a big thing.

But it's a start, too and a process, and there is soooo much to learn still, and while this week was amazing- for me, that's not what counts at the end of the day. It was changemaking, but not me making the change. It's such a priveledged position, and I am so humbled ot be a part of it, which also means, I have a long way to go....!

Some things don't change

I'm reading a book set nearly 200 years ago in Manchester, UK. It's great, and I am so appreciating the story and writing- and how she wrote it all without computer and other helpful editing facilities!

The thing that most amazes me is its relevence still. We still have and face the same issues. The geography is different, but poverty and attitudes towards it are still often the same...!

Looking forward to seeing the rest of the story unfold!
