“How’s the serenity?” – Darryl Kerrigan<\/strong><\/p>\n

There’s a delicious irony about this sentiment. I’m currently on holidays. The journey to get here was challenging, what with airports, shuttle buses, hire car companies, and an eleven-strong contingent of family – most of whom are so alike as to cause tensions and clashes with the slightest provocation.<\/p>\n

The quote comes from this film<\/a> – a classic independent Australian film that has made its way into the culture of our nation, possibly because it is too<\/em> accurate.<\/p>\n

This morning has been filled with arguing kids, misbehaving parents, and more tension as per yesterday, as we strive to leave the house “on time” (despite being on holidays).<\/p>\n

I’m doing my best to enjoy the “serenity” of being on holidays. I did yoga today, and there is a lovely water feature just outside our apartment window as I write this.<\/p>\n

How’s the serenity? It’s beautiful – as long as you find the serene moments within the chaos.<\/p>\n

With love,
\nIsrael. xo<\/p>\n
