So this morning started by having coffee looking at the aeroplanes landing - from our house we have the perfect view of how they come into land (relatively close), we can witness them from how they come into land from far right up to just before they land and disappear behind the houses, then hearing how the pilot puts on the breaks.....Sunday morning is busy because there is a lot of international flights (the big ones landing) bringing loads of people in from far away places ...no matter how mush I have travelled (and this is not a lot but I have done my fair part, locally anyway) I am still fascinated by aeroplanes and airports and all the stuff that goes with it.

It is a pivotal place with a lot of pivotal moments; airports and I suppose train stations - for me it sort of symbolizes the beginnings and endings of normal, yet significant life events all thrown together in one big soup and allowed to "Prut" for a bit at. Some people are crying, others are longing and some are ecstatic with excitement. The energy at airports are consistently high with anticipation - this I can tell no matter what time of day I found myself there I've gaged the intensity of it.

So anyway I was having a cup of coffee with my husband and father staring at the planes and discussing the logistics of my trip to Poland, all the details from when I will take off to when I will land , how tired I will be, what I need to look out for and then what will happen at home with Jacques and the kids while I am gone.......I must admit I am very excited even if it is just Poland where a lot of Jews have died, I wonder if I will pick up any of the energy of the horrid events ...is it a morbid place I wonder...with the little dealings I have had with people over there I gather they are NOT a happy lot and most certainly not a friendly bunch.

Then tonight as I walked into my office to type this piece I saw a aeroplane landing against the most beautiful sunset yet again - what a view! I hate and love Sunday afternoons - at the end of the weekend it is the moment when I find myself really relaxed and some of the "real me" starting to shine through all the routine and machine focused actions that clogs it all up, however I can feel in the far left corner of my tummy the nervousness about the Monday ahead of me starting to stir up - what will happen this week? what all do I need to do this week - will I survive it plus make the difference I hope to make?......

So here we are smack bang before Monday morning - God I hope it will be a nice one easing us into a nice, smooth week of stunning events and wonderful moments . Then this will be my wish for all of us - may we have bliss this week in the most unexpected moments and A LOT OF IT!

Thank you for reading about all that I am ....hope you have a nice Monday - and remember what I wished for all of us - look out for those moments....

I agree. Airports and train stations are some of my favorite places. You see people getting ready to go on vacations, military members coming home from wars, the young greeting the old, college students sleeping on their backpacks, sports teams, important looking business men... <3
