Time just drifting around is never wasted though - it often helps to clarify who we are and what we really want in our minds. As Alan has found, what we think we want is often not what we really want.

You have at least broken through to a new level of understanding of what is driving you, and once that has had time to 'bed in' that hopefully will help you plan for what your heart needs you to do.

I did wonder recently if I'd missed something as I've not been in blogland much due to 'stuff.'<br /><br />Secondly, yep I've been angry and grieving for the past year. It was actually my counsellor who pointed it out. Grieving for the life I was promised and waited for then was taken away because someone changed his mind about he wanted after all. And it's difficult when they're still a big part of your life but not your future.<br /><br />I hope you eventually get everything you deserve and much much more xxxAlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17134857174645360450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6501869780961229827.post-12361120629617527632020-06-30T20:15:15.522+01:002020-06-30T20:15:15.522+01:00I can't say that I didn't see this from ma...I can't say that I didn't see this from many of your prior posts.

Stick with it. Life can be so unfair. We make plans and they don't always work out as we hoped. When we moved to the country 10 years ago it was meant to be forever but circumstances changed and we have had to move again, using up all our savings to do something we really didn't plan to do. Thank you for sharing your story. You are so brave and I am sending you lots of comforting hugs.

Now I can't even get out on local adventures like following a trail in the woods. Before I spent every day outside. Thank goodness we travelled lots before this happened! A lot of grief and anger, that's for sure. And being stuck together 24/7 is no way to live. Now I finally understand your caravan and your decision to sell your home.

Life is extraordinary even more so at the moment and it can be difficult to know if we are going in the right direction when we all have so much choice today. Every now and then I wonder if I could live my life in a better more fulfilled way and wish for a clear answer, which never comes. Assessing and questioning our daily life every so often is the best I think we can do coupled with following our instincts. I hope things work out for you soon. I'll be with you virtually and cheering you on.Shrimpton and Perfecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11936163290981358252noreply@blogger.com
