Today was not overly adventurous or exciting, but just plain pleasant. After spending the morning watching "Gilmore Girls" and reading for Australian popular culture, I had lunch with my lovely flatmate as well as an absolutely wonderful group of St. John's students I hadn't met yet. Everyone here is super friendly, but lunch today felt especially welcoming and the conversation was just fantastic. From there I headed into the city to find a coffee shop with Elizabeth where we read and sampled Australian coffees, and tonight I went grocery shopping and made blueberry scones to share with my flatmates. For real, nothing overly thrilling...just, a good day.
On a more random note, here are a couple of pieces of wisdom I stumbled across in a newsletter yesterday, I thought some of you might enjoy them as much as I did:
"All a light must do to destroy darkness is shine. Just shine. Lovingly and humbly speak what you know to be true. Be honest about what you aren't sure about. The Truth will speak for itself, even if it is just the tiny bit that you know. Share it."
"Every person in your life is a gift. An opportunity. A blessing. Don't waste it. If everyone took care of loving the ten people closest to them, the world would be a much better place. So don't worry too much about how many people you reach. Focus more on reaching the right ones. Don't miss that person God places in front of you today."
That's all for tonight. Buenas noches!
