Lessons are everywhere, everyday and in everything and this little journey of ours to the other side of the world is certainly turning out to be a big life lesson for me. After a rough first week where I was already starting to count down how much longer we are here for I started to ask why am I here? I have my three kids with me 24/7 and we are limited with transport and money and this house and yard is very confined space compared to what we are used to at home in NZ so what the heck am I doing here??? Then I had an aha moment. I have nothing to do and nowhere to go...no timetables...no housework (well limited to dishes, laundry)...no friends to meet...no extra curricular activities so what can I do??? I can just be...be with my kids...be with myself. We can live a slow life for a while compared to the fast paced world in NZ. So here is a diary of our days doing very little and some snapshots to keep the Grandparents and Aunty's happy.
Il Dolce Far Niente...The sweetness of doing nothing.
Sounds awesome :)
