You like to do many of the same things I like to do when I visit :) I am hoping to go there again this year, but it will all really depend on my annual leave. Fingers crossed. I am going to Auckland in a few weeks though - so I do have my own mini-break to look forward too :)Treeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07319274204951528344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7552352267836403726.post-2728054016497879732014-08-14T10:48:15.427+10:002014-08-14T10:48:15.427+10:00I love this view of my beautiful city from somebod...I love this view of my beautiful city from somebody else's eyes!

Amazing! You all look beautiful and so happy.<br /><br />I don't know a lot about you and your life, but I see that you are a unique and super creative soul. I also know what it feels like to care of people for a long time (and 4 years is just about what it was for me) - and feeling completely drained. I don't think we are meant to only give, there should be a mutual simultaneous process of giving and receiving all at the same time. Only then life is healthy... It's been a year for me, and I am still trying to heal from my own drain and figure my life out.
