We are 4 days through the first making recovery course here in Perth WA, my brain feels in free fall, some where stuck between Dubai and here. Only 10 days ago we were leaving a very windy wet isle of Lewis arriving for a night in Glasgow, then heading to Dubai.
Dubai was 3 days out of reality, a holiday booked before the credit crunch, at Atlantis an over the top fantasy resort, way out of our decimated financial resources , but oh well you only live once. We got to Dubai airport to leave for Perth arriving at 12.30am to find that the flight was full & they were asking us to change flights till the next morning, we were offered a free return flight between Dubai & Perth and decided that we could just about manage by going on the later flight. This meant going back to a hotel for 4 hours sleep before returning to the airport.
The kids were great coping with all the changes and finally we flew out 10 hours later arriving in Perth 12.55 am. Finally we all got to bed about 3am. By the next night jet lag had set in & Francesca had a virus , so not much sleep before the first night of the course , same the 2nd night, finally last night everyone went to sleep before midnight.
As usual the course has wound its own way , Ron & I have trusted in the process and its delivered, what amazes me again are the stories people have to tell, and the capacity we humans have to heal ourselves.
