OLD YEAR- NEW YEAR

Happy New Year Everybody,

So the year of “This year Alex is going to India” , will now be replaced by “This year Alex returned from India………..a changed man”.

It is quite possible that any name could be used in those sentences and an accurate truth would be revealed.

As I woke up this morning, my first thought was (as always) “What news do we have from India?”
My second thought was it is only a couple of days now until they are back – how wonderful.
My third thought was now that the new year with changes has arrived, there will also be new young men with changes in thought arriving.

How will you all have changed?
It is a daunting question with unknown answers.
Over time, you will all gradually reveal how you have changed.
But, I wonder how you will all perceive your families: your mothers, your fathers, your siblings.
Will you find us too shallow?
Will you find us too materialistic?
How should we respond?

So the journey in  India will not only result in new thinking and changes for you who have been immersed in India, it will also result in new thinking and changes for those of us who have been on the periphery.

With thoughts of you all today at New Year and excitement at your forthcoming return.
Liz
