Yesterday, I went to a church service beside the pool and next to the open ocean that you see in the pic. It felt like a place of serenity I needed to go after a hectic year, and as I neared the end of my nemesis journey with my PhD.
The message of the day was that we were created to do essential things for which we were gifted. Or rather, that was how I interpreted the Fijian preacher's sermon.
I was joined by other New Zealanders and tourists from around the world. It was amazing to see how that moment of quietness was just what I needed to realise the hectic year I had been through.
Now I can just relax, whilst in Fiji, and take a well-deserved couple more days' respite before returning home to a load of marking and finishing the recruiting for next year's class. I'm enjoying our soft approach to enjoying our days with a family massage package this afternoon, before our Anniversary dinner tonight.
These last couple of weeks have been amazingly blessed with many people from all over the world interested in our family bookstall. The picture book sets were the most popular, with many interested in poetry (oops! thought I'd had enough to sell but sold out) and considering to continue selling at our local markets back home too...
