Just a warning: what I am about to tell you in this blog may make you a little jealous....
This weekend I went to a town called Bundoran in County Donegal - it's actually part of the "South" (regular ol' Ireland), but it's physically in the north (confused yet?!). Anyway, Bundoran was the the site for the first ever WAVE young women's group residential. We did yoga, got massages, and went SURFING! Not to mention all the laughs we had. Just an absolutely incredible weekend.
This weekend made me think of all the 'firsts' I have had while I have been in Northern Ireland. I mean, I have never even put on a wet suit before, let alone surfing! Some of the things I hadn't done before I came here:
*Ridden in a taxi
*Eaten Pavlova (and boy was I missing out!)
*Participated in a yoga class
*Run in a marathon (I didn't run the whole thing remember!)
*Attended a table quiz
*Gotten a massage
*Lived in a city
And of course...
*Worn a wetsuit
*Gone surfing
I am grateful for all the new things I have done this year, and all the new things I have learned as a result of that. It's hard to believe that we only have about a month left!
