slowly slowly

Slowly, slowly things are gaining momentum.

I feel like I'm coming out of the wilderness of the past 15 months and it feels great to be coming back.

The last 15 months have been the hardest, most challenging, gut wrenching, emotionally and psychologically crazy time in my life. I've grown so much and learnt a lot about myself, yet I wouldn't wish my experience on anyone.

If the early 1990s were 'the recession that Australia had to have', then the past 15 months has been 'the recession that Jess had to have'. I've spent the past 15 months pushing shit up a hill. Life hasn't been easy.

But that recession is passing, much to the delight of everyone involved.

I'm being given little gifts whether they be circumstances, aquaintances or poignant conversations. On their own, they're not exciting, but put together in the bigger picture it's fantastic.

In fact, I blame a lot of this mood on Crowded House. Twice within one half an hour I heard "Better Be Home Soon", it's the third time this week I've heard the song and not from my own choosing. Ok, so one of those times was the Kasey Chambers cover version and that wasn't much of a blessing.

Things are looking up. The future is bright.
