Don’t forget to write – let me know what you think….
My family went home yesterday and left me feeling quite sad. I miss them already. Actually, I missed them as soon as we parted at the train station.
The sadness is emotional, but also physical. Especially when Noel and I had to carry our food shopping back between just the two of us! 😉
Noel and I had ‘evening medicine’ after our au revoirs
My positive? Despite the melancholy feelings of a farewell, Noel and I have turned our attentions to the boat.
Our first two projects are:
These are the types of projects I love; tasks that take us a step closer to self-sufficient living. I plan to tell you all about it – with lots of pictures.
Mum & dad – home now in the UK
Of course, thereafter we have much painting and re-fitting to do. So, yes, while I am a bit sad, I am excited at the next direction in our adventure.
It’s a beautiful day and I have just received yet another delightful book recommendation. This time the author is Ann Voskamp. Ann wrote One Thousand Gifts: A Dare to Live Fully Right Where You Are. In her book Ann strives to find the meaning of life, and in her life she endeavours to live with grace.
She writes, ‘One Thousand Gifts is a celebration of grace and a recognition of the power of gratitude. Here’s the link.
Some of my beliefs may be different to Ann’s but I am an advocate for learning from everyone, whoever they are and whatever they think.
As well as learning from others, I also believe that we can change. My life, emotions, thoughts, plans, ideas, morals and some of my personality changed when I suffered a heart-wrenching bereavement in my twenties. With my emotions out of control, I ran away (against my counsellor’s advice) and embarked on a remarkable journey. Of Foreign Build is not just about sailing around the world on a thirty-three foot boat, but about how I changed in so many different ways – and how I learned about who I am.
This is the man that keeps me sane!
The ‘positive thoughts’ process is changing me again. It is all for the good and I am enjoying it immensely, so here’s today’s three thoughts:
In view of Ann’s book, I am determined to live my life now. Not just travel and do what I dream of doing, but enjoy THIS moment and stop thinking about the NEXT adventure.
Enjoy the moment.
Part of the Citadel
So, my big decision? I am going to carry on with the positive thoughts. Once a week I will highlight some positives in my life and post them here, I hope you’ll join me.
And, once again, I nominate anyone who would like to take part in this ‘positive thoughts’ 5-day event.
