Kibbutz life and updates

Apologies for my lack of blogging.

This could be directly linked to the way time works here in Hazorea. I feel as though I am on another planet, it has its own clocks, its own time and its own dates. The past few weeks has felt as though I am sitting on a bench watching someone elses life.

With so many different cultures coming together and fitting into another has been such an incredible experience.

I have gotten to know so many people, each with their own reasons for being here. Some to get away from the hustle and bustle of the big city, some to learn about other cultures, some to travel and some to serve in the Israeli Army. I have learnt so much from these various people, lessons that I will take with me and remember forever.

Some of the most important lessons that I have learnt while being here is that you should take time out of everyday to appreciate what you have, here it isnt about how much money you have or the things that you own, it is making the most out of your situation and appreciating the people in your life.

I miss home, I miss my family, my friends, and silly things like that we take for granted but I am enjoying every moment here and know that there is still such fabulous experiences to be had.

I am planning some trips over the next few weeks to make sure that I get to see the most of what I can and do as much as possible because who knows if I will ever have this opportunity again.
