Sometimes you can have a big day, a big week, a big month or a big year, and sometimes a big life!
Well 2006 was a big year for us and I for one am very thankful that we didn't know going in to it what was going to be around the corner.
We signed a long lease on a house and a few months later our owner died and we had to move so we signed another long lease and our owners had financial difficulty and had to move back in, so in a period of 11 months, we had lived in 3 houses, thats a lot of packing and unpacking! During that time I collapsed from stress and was in bed for 4 months, and to top it off we lost our business and my husband was out of a job.
When you are hit by so many things in a short period of time, its a bit like white water rafting, you don't really have a lot of time to adjust , you just gotta hold on.
I learned that when everything is stripped away from you, all you have left is relationship and even though you are hurting and overwhelmed, its important that we look after those close to us, that while our emotions are stretched to their limits, we need to be careful that we don't do
damage to those around us, usually the ones trying to help us.
thanks for reminding me of this. Why is it so hard to remember what is so important in the mist of all hard stuff. Why do we focus on the wrong things, the things that can be replaced?
