Home renovation phase 1 got under way
and was successfully completed on Monday. The ceilings are in and
appear to be sorted. I won't lie, I did find it stressful. There
was definitely a language barrier but their supervisor who appeared
to be an old hand at the game managed to calm me down and deliver the
necessary instructions with accuracy.
With all the banging and noise I
retreated to a corner in the garden and tucked into a book. I must
say in retrospect they were actually very respectful of my space.
They closed the door behind them and just got stuck into the job and
when they were done they moved out to the car park without bothering
me, enough so to say that I will probably feel comfortable with them
continuing the project at a later date.
It was all tiring though and I slept in
this morning. Sadly upon getting going today I heard the news that
Robin Williams had passed away from what appears to be a suicide.
That really saddened me and I wondered how someone with so much
success in their past could end up another celebrity suicide
statistic? It is particularly sad because with so much wealth
obtaining professional help would not have been a problem.
That being said though it doesn't take
money to get the kind of support we need in life. We are fortunate
that as Christians there are many wonderful Christian counsellors who
are there to help us in times of need. They may be your pastor, a
counsellor, or even a trusted friend. Most of all we have the Holy
Spirit who is our ever present counsellor and help in times of need.
So if you are struggling through life’s difficult times, turn to
God and turn to the people out there who are able to help you
through, you are definitely not alone.
