IF-Entangled

This topic ‘entangled’ was difficult. I decided to look at it from the perspective of the child, from the moment that the child is born he/she becomes ‘entangled’ in the desires, dreams and  values of the people around them. Needless to  say this can lead to all sorts of outcomes. You often when looking at a child  see the puzzlement, worry or anxiety expressed as they look on the scene in front of them.  Whether or not they make sense of it will influence in the development of who they are. They are closely ‘entangled’  and influenced.

Maybe I came back to early, life has been so busy but full of delight. My two traveling daughters came home for a visit. Penny had finished her time in Liberia after completing a very successful project, she had a holiday in Israel and then came home for a month. It was wonderful to see the friendship develop and sparkle with her younger sister and it was just lovely to have her around. We were busy doing jobs, catching up on news and just enjoying her company. She has now moved to Cambodia, which I feel fine about, knowing that my two girls are in the same city. At the end of Pen’s visit we had the wonderful treat of welcoming home Sarah (my oldest daughter) and her beautiful little daughter Riya. They were here for four days but they were wonderful days, watching the two of them interact; watching Riya met, play and fight with her cousins  and just spending time with both of them. Sometimes you feel very blessed and the last five weeks has been one of those times.

I should share our news, we will soon be no longer renters, we have bought an old well-cared for post war house in a suburb close to the city. We will have to do some renovations to it to suit our needs but we won’t be in too big of a hurry to do those, I have started again to read up on how to make your house more sustainable, which is what we really want to do.
