Changes

As many of you will notice, I thought it was time for a change. Not only the superficial type either. The layout of this blog is different, as you can see, and but so is the title, colour scheme and url. This is not because of clinging ex-boyfriends, this is because it's time for a change, a major overhaul of not just my room, not just my blog, but a lot of other things besides.

My state of mind at the moment is one of determination and certainty, despite all the current odds, and though I admit I feel nervous, I'm also looking forward to the changes that this will bring. If I were to say I am looking souly to the future I would be lying, my past is one of pain and sorrow and I can't help it that the memories still plague me. However, I no longer feel them as rawly as I did but a couple of weeks ago, and things are looking up.

Though the airport goodbye this morning was a tearful one for both parties, I feel strongly that it will not be for long. Intentions are there and they are strong ones that will be hard to shake off. Everyone who has met Mark on this visit has enjoyed his company, and given their support.

There are, of course, many things to be done before I fly out of the country. I'd like at least one shopping trip with the one and only Hayley before I go so that we can have some sorely missed girl-time. With the amount of work that she needs to do, however, this may not be possible, though I dearly hope it is. A splatter of romantic comedies and long heart-felt chats will be just what I (and I hope, she) will need.

In any case, I shall leave it at that for now.
Oh yes, dear readers: Welcome to Laying In The Rain.
