staring out my window

This is today's view out of the kitchen doors to the balcony.

Why am I sharing this photo with you? Well lately I've been standing at the doors and just looking. What do I see? I see the cat on the balcony of an appartment closeby. I see the surfboards in a backyard. I see the trees blowing in the wind. I see kids playing in the park. I see rain falling on the roofs of sheds. I see lives being lived around me. I've been taking in the view and thinking. What do I think about? I'm not really sure. I watch people. I look at their houses and I wonder how their lives are- what they treasure, what they do, if they're happy. I think about the weather and wish that it was sunnier and warmer. I think about the life I've been living here in NL and how I've changed. I think about how I'd like my life to be. I think about what life might be like when I return to Aust. I think about the people I miss and the people I'll miss when I leave here. I think about God and how He's working in my life and how I can best follow Him.

Sometimes, for a different perspective, I sit on the ledge and look out the front window.
