Making a Change

I feel like I want to make a change in my life.  We've been in Sydney for 2.5 months now.  Ever since we've arrived I've been obsessed with checking my email for news from home.  At this point, it's making me more and more depressed thinking about how everyone else has obviously moved on already while I remain tethered to my computer.  Why does no one answer my emails?  Don't they realize how lonely I am?  It's taken me a long time to blog about this.  Honestly, it's embarrassing.  But I started to think that others probably feel the way I do and at least this can validate them (and me).


I've also been spending a lot of time playing Zynga games on Facebook.  And getting frustrated.  And I'm sure annoying Mr. Smith by how much of my attention was directed toward it and not toward dinner and ironing.  (I still refuse to iron most things.)


So I want to make a change.  I want to be more productive.  I'm trying desperately to change my mindset toward going to the gym.  I go every Tuesday night for Zumba, but I really should go at least one more night per week.  At the very least.


I want to sew more.  I want to pick up my cross-stitch again.  Instead of sitting on the computer every night, I can create something.  I've always wanted to be a creative person... make things...  have an open mind.


So this morning I woke up and as usual I turned on my laptop first thing.  Guess what?  We have no internet connection.  (Telstra sucks... just my humble opinion)  I tried everything I know to get it to come back on, but to no avail.  Perhaps this is God's way of saying, "How about making that change?"
