Week 6 - 01/10/22

Hi everyone, thanks for coming here to read this week's blog.

This week has been another busy one with some highs and lows and an unending tiredness that comes from working, being a parent and a part time student. I don't know about you but I do feel like I am always waiting to reach the next "thing" in life. At the moment, four years remaining before finishing my English Literature degree seems like such a long time in the future and so, for now, I am where I am, unable to move forward significantly with my career. It reminds me of when I was a child and the build up to a big event such as Christmas. It seemed like such a long time to wait for something so exciting and time seemed to drag! Its good to live for the present moment however, which is something I do find difficult sometimes due to my natural default setting of "planning ahead" . I really admire those who always seem to be living "in the moment" and don't necessarily worry about the future and its uncertainties. Although in the present uncertain climate here in the UK i expect I am possibly in the majority when it comes to worrying for the future!

This weeks composition is another song. This was written back in 2018 when I was very much in waiting for something to happen and also going through the process of adjustment and self discovery that happens at the end of a relationship. Please have a read (and listen to the track if you have time) and let me know your thoughts.

Have a good week,

Kathy

Waiting

It feels so close,

but it’s too far away.

Going away from my grasp.

Frustration Inside.

How long must I wait?

Time seems to stand still

The world carries on all around,

Moving me aside

A feeling of wonder

blossoms inside me,

I desperately grab on,

I need it to grow

How long must I wait?

Time seems to stand still

The world carries on all around,

Moving me aside.

I want to find

who I really am inside,

I want to be me,

I need to be free

How long must I wait?

Time seems to stand still

The world carries on all around,

Moving me aside.
