Although not being able to drive a massive distance, or sit at the computer screen for any length of time, at the moment is quite a frustration there are advantages as it ‘frees’ me to do other things.

Yesterday I was able to drop in on a good friend who is currently off work for not dis-similar reasons and being able to chat and discuss stuff that matters to us was a joy. It was also quite unique to be able to catch up a friend in a relaxed setting during the day as both of us rarely have the time to do that in the reality of our normal situations.

It was great to drink coffee and just talk – a privileged time for me. I came away incredibly energised and fulfilled as I think God was bouncing around in our conversation.

It strikes me that as I think about the future I need to consider how to preserve this attitude to time. If I allow it to be squeezed with too much in my program then surely that will cramp any pioneering spirit that I may be able to follow? Time to allow people space and to allow the unexpected is surely something I need to be dwelling on at the moment.
