If I was to rank 2022 on a scale of 1 - 10, it's a solid 5. Neither wonderful nor disastrous, in school report terms, "could do better". Trying to sell a house and move to another country sounds like a relatively easy challenge, but, a challenge it has been. I know other people have had bigger things to worry about this year, but our worries are relative and all valid.
Dealing with visas, selling a house and generally trying to get it all right, in the right order, doesn’t make for a stressless life. When the “well laid plans” go awol, the only thing to do is take a step back, remind yourself that you don’t have control and relax into accepting it’ll all happen when the time is right.
It’s hard to relinquish control sometimes, but not letting it go can be even more damaging, particularly to one’s health. Stress is not good for any of us and understanding that gives you the opportunity to ease up on yourself. Don’t let things that are out of your control ruin a perfectly good day. Deal with your stuff in your way and be kind to yourself. When other people expect things from you, remind them that you’ve got expectations of your own and at the moment, what they want from you isn’t as important as what you need from yourself.
I’m letting the universe get on with whatever it has to do to make the right things happen. I don’t believe in praying to a fictional god for help or making a wish when I see a shooting star, I believe in the butterfly effect. One action impacts another, if I make the right choices and the right actions, the pieces will eventually fall into place.
A new life and a new start is in reaching distance, I just have to be patient. I’ll keep doing the right things to make it happen and hopefully, before long I’ll be sharing with you my new adventure.
Wishing you all a very Merry Festive time over the coming weeks. Enjoy time with family and friends, be grateful for the good things and the challenges that make us stronger. Best Wishes for 2023 and lots-of-love.
