November
November seems to be flying by. Normally when i look forward to something time grags and drags, each day seems to feel the anticipation and decide to slow down. This month i’ve had a few things to look forward to. First there was the lovely evening with Dharmavidya and Prasada - “Meet Amida”. The second is my new job. I start on the 3rd of December and the contract is signed and i’m busy trying to get myself organised before the start date. There are things i want to get done around the house, college work i want to get ahead on, and clothes to be sorted for work are among the list of things to do. I’ve hardly had time to blog.
One thing i have been making time for each week is a massage. A Chinese herbalist opened earlier in the summer and i took up a special offer on a course of massage. It’s just 8 minutes working on my neck, shoulders, and back, but it’s amazing the amount of work that can be done in a short period of time. Initially after 6 minutes my back was screaming for the massage to end, such is the strength of the pettit Chinese woman massaging me. Now, after 8 minutes i’m feeling energised and my back quite happy. She doesn’t have much Enlgish, but her co-worker does, so we tend to talk with him acting as an interpteter. Often they will chat in their native language while she massages my back, i find it soothing - these words i have no understanding of float over me. It’s like two treatments in one.
