There's hope for us all

[Jules31]

Hi everyone

I just wanted to post something on a positive note.

I'm in the Maldives on my honeymoon, after my wedding last Saturday (which Meg will testify to, that I survived in an amazing fashion). I had the time of my life. Despite a large pa on sunday afternoon (though I had been a bit stressed the week before, drank too much alcohol and only had a few hours sleep), I'm still going strong.

I've done a 10 hour flight to the Maldives and then a ride on a sea plane ( which I was dreading. My husband (ha ha) held my hand and I got through it, soon being amazed by the fabulous views.

Despite a huge fear of deep water, I've also been snorkelling and to the opening of the world's first all glass underwater restaurant.

I'm not saying that I don't feel strange some of the time but I"m telling it to go to hell!!

One thing I do have to tell you all, came from a yoga session yesterday. Alright, it was on a platform, in the middle of the indian ocean at sunset, with a warm breeze blowing and the sound of the waves lapping, so of course that made it an experience I will never forget. But I came away with a resounding message ringing in my ears, (which reminded me of you all, esp you Meg) It was the simple phrase by the yoga instructor "thoughts are just illusions" . David commented on it too and I felt like it was a special message for me. So when the going gets tough, I will be thinking of that and I hope you all can get some use from it too.

Right I'm off to watch the tropical storm that's on it's way in.

Take care all of you

Love



Jules

Congratulations on the marriage, and am glad you are coping so well after a ten hour flight.

That restaurant sounds cool - the fish must really be fresh

Jules you total sad cow!!!!!

You are supposed to be having the time of your life, not e-mailing us whilst ON your honeymoon!!!!!

I had the fabbest time, and I'm so glad you invited me, even if all your friends now think I'm totally bonkers - mind you I suppose on a positive note, they must now think you are totally sane.

You looked totally gorgeous, really slim and brown (how come YOUR fake tan didn't come off at TV at RC like mine). I'm just fated!!!

You did so well, and that was sincerely one of the nicest weddings I have ever been too. Mind you, they do say that nice people only have nice friends, even if Mr Bean (Niall) did tell me to sod off when I turned down a dinner date!

I've been thinking of you lots, and I'm so glad you managed the flights, and are having a good time. Dave is a really lovely bloke, and I know he will look after you.

Chill out, and have the best time.

See you when you get back - I need to come down to get some copies of the photos - my stupid mother lent me her digital, with a totally flat battery, so I have one photo of you leaving the church, with Julian standing up in front of me!

The fun doesn't end when you get back either - we are off to Alton Towers on June 17th, complete with Gnomes, and do you want to come and see the Mission at RC on 11th Sept??? Let me know how many tickets!!!!

Have the greatest time ever babe and see you very soonXXXXX

Love
