Hobart from my Window

I stayed at the Grand Chancellor Hotel Hobart because of the location for Dark Park and Winter Feast - and would have also been good for the Purge and Oogh-Oogh Parade had I still been there. I booked using Hopper as I had points and credits so got myself a suite for the bath, which I ended up not using. If your credit card is with CBA, you get points to use and cashback so check it out through your netbank. (Not paid, just got a number of free hotel rooms this way - you have to pay for breakfast but in a lot of places, you want to hit the bakeries anyway).

It did however give me lovely views of the waterfront and all the activity outside.

I could lie in bed and watch the sunrise.

I could watch the red glow at night as I made my tea.

And of course, I had an early start for the unfortunate Socceroos game. (Fingers crossed for today tho! And to clarify, I thought I took a picture of the Australians in play but didn't check the pic and notice I'd got the sub instead. HA!)

Light makes all the difference - the foreground stays the same but its the background that changes every time you look. It touches everything.

“The sky grew darker, painted blue on blue, one stroke at a time, into deeper and deeper shades of night.”
― Haruki Murakami, Dance Dance Dance

And here lies the lesson - things may look like they are staying the same, but moment by moment, there are almost impercetible changes and difference, you just need to pay attention. So when you feel stuck, don't be discounraged that change isn't noticable. Look for the tiny shifts, notice the little things - and the might colour your whole outlook!

May the hues of change be enough to keep you motivated!

“There is one spectacle grander than the sea, that is the sky; there is one spectacle grander than the sky, that is the interior of the soul.”
― Victor Hugo, Les Misérables
