maple syrup

I've been taking it easy these past two weeks. The package my sister sent me captures my mood: maple syrup, hand lotion, a card with a plate of grapes and a jug of something in the background. Relaxing time. I've been letting go of some things, like going to the gym. Really loved that afternoon that I walked around Shek O by myself. I'm discovering that I enjoy exploring on my own. It was good to just walk around Sai Kung with Mel, and to sit in a coffee shop and hang out with Dawn today. Though we were both doing our own thing, just knowing that she was across the table from me was cool.

God is beautiful and he wants us to be rested in him. Its true that there are many things that need to be done in this world, but I'm slowly learning that when I go frantic and try to do too much, or try to fix someone else's problems with my own strength, it doesn't work. God's the one who brings the healing and the peace.

Its been such a great Chinese New Year holiday.
