The Journey Within

Things I’ve taken for granted…

• having an internet connection
• having a bank account
• having a mobile phone
• knowing how to get from point A to point B
• able to borrow a book from the local library

As I plug into the system one by one, it’s only then I realise how important these things are. No internet connection – no email, no blog, no checking how much i’ve strained the credit card (!). No bank account – might be a good thing. No mobile phone – maybe not that essential (although i’ve got plenty of people telling me otherwise!). Not knowing how to get from point A to point B… i guess i’ll just stay at home then, which is easy on the bank account and the credit card, but no help if i’m just a bummer at home, a bummer with no internet connection! Not able to borrow a book from the local library – BAD!

At least i’m plugging in to an existing household system. Some existing essentials are already plugged in for me, like electricity, gas, water, fridge, pots and pans etc. But i had a hard time finding that Panadol in the middle of the night when you really need it! (still getting use to the weather here…)
