I'm now an "ordinary" parishioner. In terms of time, the change was gradual. I started relying on the new ExCo from November when they came to life. But in terms of mentality, it is quite a big switch. Now things happening around Parish Council and its working committees are nothing much of my business. I no longer look for gaps and ask people to fill them. My Parish is getting much more tranquil.

And it was in one of the Sunday afternoons when there was normally a Parish Council meeting, that I went to SOHO, alone, and enjoyed a delicious lunch, with a nice book in hand.

2 years is not a long time, but there are things that I have to make effort to pick up again. I had nearly forgone all my favourite pasttimes: from playing computer games and listening to music to casual reading and learning new piano pieces. And to add to the list, I seemed to have forgotten how to initiate little projects in life and to dream about possibilities.

To re-learn in order to become once again a 3-D person will be one of my new year resolutions, in this rather new life.
