It is a bit like cleaning out the husband's office and shed, finding all the tools he had from his work and play, working out what they do and wondering if I can use them. My Angels suggest that I don't need to keep them all (actually my family say that too). Sometimes it is time to give things away or even put them in the rubbish. I ask myself, "Will I use this, read this or do this craft?" Maybe it's time to let it go.
I plan things and this has brought me another valuable lesson. That if the plan doesn't work, change the plan, not the goal. Last week I set off to achieve my goal to travel around solo in my bus. Maybe more about that in the weeks to come. Except to say I have connected with a group of ladies who travel solo around our beautiful country, they are known as Motorhome Babes. Aged from about 50 upwards, these 900+ women travel New Zealand.
Remember my friends, life isn't always easy, it's challenging, almost impossible at times. A reminder from our Angels - that we each have our own ability to not give in and instead make the best out of the moments and opportunities! So, if you keep reading, I will keep writing. Might not be weekly, but knowing you enjoy this column certainly encourages me to write.
