Guest jackie Macdonald Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Just a quick update. Hubby is on his way back to Perth tonight and starts work Monday. A difficult time for us all (yet again) as he leaves us behind for the next 5 months. We've all been there before but it doesn't make it any easier. I worked out how much time we had spent apart since we first headed out Down Under and it is an astonishing 19 months, a real test on our relationship but we survived it! Going backwards and forwards three times now has been an enormous and costly upheaval as some of you know only too well, but we needed to experience it to get to this point mentally and really get our heads round the reality of the decision we have made this time. We are going into this with our eyes wide open this time and the decision wasn't made lightly but the rose tints are well and truly off this time. Despite all the ping ponging having weighed heavily on our emotions and those of our loved ones we have to leave behind, I feel it was meant to happen this way and I have decided to go forwards, embrace and work with my new life rather than fighting against it. I am a great believer in fate and know we have many opportunities given to us throughout our lives. Anyway, I won't harper on or teach anyone to suck eggs! but what I am trying to say is that it is easy for us to remain in our comfort zones all our lives as the old saying goes " "Do what you've always done, get what you've always got". It can be incredibly frightening taking risks and it certainly isn't easy but unless we try we will forever wonder how our lives could have been. Just feeling in a thoughtful mood! :smile: Jackie XX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
