Today I dropped Robert at Church in Barking and started off on a lovely walk. I decided to walk through to Barking Park and it was a great decision. Fresh snow, frozen lake, beautiful ducks and birds, lovely little families with tiny tots and bigger kids were enjoying their snow adventures. I walked and felt the benefit as my muscles got stretched and I felt I was getting some good exercise.
More than anything I found peace and tranquility -so great to find time to relax and be at one with God. The old song came to mind 'Come ye yourselves apart and rest awhile.....and in My quiet strength again be strong' - a lovely Bible invitation in which we are invited to come away from all the busy-ness and hassle of life and find strength in God again.....
I am feeling positive after my 8000 steps today to enter a week of trying to do better to shape up.......we are faced with major NHS changes and for that too I need to be ready - to give advice, to support staff as they face changes they may not like and of course for my own career I need to work some plans out for the future. Has been good this weekend to have un-interrupted time with Robert - I don't take that for granted. We are apart from each other for much of the working week so always good to make the most of our weekends.
So bring on another week and let's hopeI can report good things!
