The rhythm of my mind

Today began as most of my days do . The usual get up, get dressed,  go to school sort of days. But today marked the day I finished my written mock exams so I was rather excited to finally have them finished. The mocks are a practice run for my real exams in June, but never the less they are still exams and still caused a certain bit of anxiety and stress on my part. So it is easy to understand that after my 11th exam today I felt rather relieved . 

I came home after my exam to relax , take a breather and pretty much do nothing - which I did for a while and it felt great !! Then I noticed that my dear friend had posted a new blog ,which always makes me happy . This blog was fantastic and made me think , about life - about how people sin and make mistakes but God forgives - Jesus always forgive you because he loves you ! You are always loved . 

After reading this I decided to go for a walk , to visit my grandmother and also to think ... I find the walk from my house to my nanas short , but it is perfect for reflection for those little moments of contemplation . I have always been the person who walks along looking at the ground , or in this case looking at my feet - red converses ( my signature shoe) . I like to watch the road I travel on, the little pot holes I jump over and dodge.  The wind sweeps through my hair and the smell of my perfume wafts in the air . It is such a simple thing but it made me smile . 

On the way to my grandmother I pass a river - a fantastic little river . I stood on the bridge watching the water ripple beneath me and listening to the music of Jenny and Tyler which for me was so apt for this moment . The song Psalm 46 "The LORD is my refuge and strength Therefore I will not be afraid" so beautiful and so meaningful. 

My grandmothers house is my favorite place on this planet - there is something about it that makes me feel so safe . The smell of cinnamon or freshly baked bread or scones . Tulips on the table, pictures of everyone everywhere . Tea with my grandmother- pure and utter bliss . 

I'm not exactly sure what my objective was when I began writing this blog ... I just wanted to write. Sometimes in life one does not need an objective . So go , do what makes you happy , things that make you smile - because you can .
