Lockdown Day 590 - 6 November 2021
Surfers dotted the calm water waiting for the odd swell to catch a wave, watching the local dolphin pod idly drifting by on the cool South-Eastern current of the Benguela.
I put my hands into the water, silently promising the ocean my first swim is not far off. With the vertigo now 99% gone, I am confident I will be able to take a short swim soon.
We took a drive out to Jbay to go and see friends visiting family we haven't seen for many years. On our way back we took a detour to Humansdorp to check out a couple of places we plan to visit on another outing someday. The clouds were heavy and thick along the Langkloof mountains and it started to rain just as we drove into PE.
We spent the afternoon relaxing in front of dstv's sports channels, while a gentle downpour pattered against the windows. We spoke of one of the people we reconnected with today who is terminally ill while looking like a million dollars with a matching positive attitude.
Her inspiring and infectious attitude left us eternally grateful for all the littlest of things. And highlighted the things that are most important. Time with loved ones and time taken to say the things the heart and spirit grow from. Even when faced with a terminal illness, her peace surpasses earthly fear.
"and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:7
