My little blog will be out of action for a short while, as my parents and I load the car and set sail for the shores of Holland, embarking on a very new chapter of my life. So I wanted to leave you with this little thought that is filling my mind with the kind of hope you can grab onto, during a some what nerve wracking time.

There is no knowing which direction is the right one to take, there are no mistakes or wrong choices, just life. Life that needs to be lived to the fullest, which occasionally may mean taking some risks, here and there. I am the luckiest girl alive, as I have the biggest support network, so much encouragement to go for it and give it my best shot. I have my people at home in England cheering me on and providing a safety net if I should fall. I have my people in the Netherlands welcoming me into their world with open arms. One big family, two homes and a ton of best wishes.
Who knows 'what if'? Anything could happen. But that's the point isn't it? We go and find out, for ourselves. That's exactly what I intend to do. Not so much a new start, just the next stage. I'm still the same old person, just taking advantage of golden opportunities and experiencing as much as I can. I am exploring life, soaking up the atmosphere of every place I visit, and am broadening my knowledge and horizons. This adventure, it is still just a day, followed by another. The significance is what we do with it, what we take from it and how we share this with the people in our lives- no matter how close or far of a physical distance.
So here I go, time to write some new pages. Crash helmets at the ready!
Good luck with your adventures over the North Sea - i'm sure everything will work out. I remember always thinking, regardless of how things may or may not turn out, I wanted to try it, to make the move and if whatever happens, at least I know I tried.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear about your adventures in the Netherlands!
Ohhh that so makes sense to me : ) Thank you so much. Alarm is set for 3am, and in a couple hours the journey begins!! xxxx

ReplyDeleteTor, your cheers are sincerely appreciated and are just the ticket right now : )
DeleteGood luck to you! I'm excited to have come across your blog at such a life transition.
ReplyDeleteI moved from England to Belgium two years ago and I wouldn't change it. Things might not be as you expect but you can make them into something that you will love and cherish.
Every time I had second thoughts of moving I would tell myself 'Whatever happens it's the adventure that counts!'
