At the starting gate

Its a strange business this! We have now been on this ship for over six weeks and have travelled half way around the world! Seen wonderful and exciting things, made friends, witnessed the kindness of strangers as well as the rudeness of others. It's not a microcosm of humanity...we are all fairly well off but the same small differences exist. Last night I found myself counseling the lady who had lost her husband a year ago...then the waitress who was at a cross roads of her life...the habit of nurturing remains strong during all the twists and turns of life! We have to be out of our staterooms by 8.30. But we are able to be comfortable in one of the comfortable lounges whilst we wait for our taxi to take us to the airport. There I may need prayer. We are prepared to pay the excess on our luggage but no too much Lord please! We fly to Hong Kong this afternoon and from there on to Heathrow! I may or may not blog depending. Not sure on what! - Posted using BlogPress from my iPad
