I’m on leave till next year! That’s exactly 27 days before I officially start work again on 4th Jan 2010. For now, I can wind down and enjoy… life.
It’s been 6 hours into the 1st day of my leave and I’m already wondering if every day for the next 26 days is going to be this boring. So far, I’ve practiced the piano for 2 hours, watched Oprah, read half of “The Little Prince” and I’m checking my work email while I type this entry. I need to pack my room… it’s a mess. (spaghetti thought)
I had wonderful plans for this break from work. I said that I would read (check), practice the piano (check), bake, rot. I feel like I’ve slept for >12 hours and am wondering about the house in a state of blur. Perhaps what The Little Prince said is true…. I need to be precoccupied with something other than myself.
I plan to go to Church every night this week to help wash the dishes that are used during Youth Conference. YC is special to me… it’s the place where I learnt about Christ and had the opportunity to discover truths from the Bible. By helping to wash the dishes, it will free up time for campers to do what is important – respond to God’s word and discuss the lessons that they’ve learnt with the camp leaders. It’s been my joy washing dishes for the past two nights.
27 days of free time. 27 opportunities to care for others.
