Mr Delish and I decided with all the earthquake related stress and drama that we would go on a date. We organised a good friend to come take over with the children. We have not done this for so long. We walked and talked. We ate. We went where ever when ever for those few hours it was just us. The tragic aspect was no longer were the places we used to go available for us, Victoria Square, Valentinos or Cafe Metro. We didn't feel like Lyttelton or going to any bay over the Porthills. The beach was out.
Life is so very different and I guess it will be for a very long time to come. Lots of our familiar businesses will go, the change of the landscape and the fear will take along time to recede. But we are alive, physically uninjured, we have a roof over our heads (with tarpolins but it's a roof) we have food, water (even if we have to boil it), we have a chemical loo, and we have a future what a great gift that future is.
Peace and love

This is my online honesty box for my food journal and exercise as well. I am overweight and struggle with lonelyness and self image/confidence. I was challenged to do this after seeing other users of trade me create there pages and read there stories. So thanks to all of them but to Redwitch and 9291 for starting the trend that followed.
