After about ten-months, I find myself moving back to Albury which is exciting. I will be able to live a life somewhat - friends, family, things to do and see... and of course I will be able to get in touch with my religion. Since being up here, I have been to mass two or three times. It's up a big hill, only on every fortnight (which one I never know!) thus haven't made much an effort to get there. A little hard when one is hungry, no?
During my two-month stay in Brisbane (at Princess Alexendra Hospital) I gained much more touch of my faith - and religion. I was going to the Worship Hall every Sunday and Tuesday for Catholic Mass, meeting new people - other regular hospital parishioners, Sisters, and Priests. I got to know the Hospital Chaplain, though I do not remember his name, he was a great help during my long stay. One of the regular parishioners, not a patient but who lives nearby, an older lady, even came up to the Cardio Ward to visit me! She asked if there was anything I needed, or wanted, and she could buy it. Though there were quite a few things I may have wanted, I wouldn't take her offer up. She was just too nice, I didn't want to send her round the country side LOL. She left me with a few $2 scratches.... don't think that's classified as gambling... but it's a bit of fun, even if you don't win anything, like me!
So back to Albury/Wodonga, I will be able to go to mass, get driven no doubt, going with the parents. Be nice to go back to my home church, which I've been to once or twice since the major renovations. More places to pray, more places for space. It will be nice to get back home, finally put my past behind me, and look forward to building a positive relationship with my parents.
