a while ago I decided that whenever the girls are on a holiday, I'll take a break from work too. in the beginning it was hard, especially when we're not travelling, but I started to really enjoy it. well, and I am so grateful to be able to just take a break, whenever!
so, here we are - on holiday. after a few days at the beach we're back home enjoying exactly that - our home.
what I enjoy most is to rise to a quiet house, getting to not only do my breathing practice, but also to sit here with you now, or out on the terrace or well, just be quiet or writing my lists, plans for the day.
you might think I do get that once in a while on a non-holiday as well after everyone left the house, true, but no, it's not the same. to me, it's knowing my girls are sleeping upstairs. my man is out riding his bike.
then slowly the house comes alive. I might hear little feet running to the bathroom and back to bed to enjoy being able to snuggle in again. soon the front door will open and the man will be back. all sweaty and dirty, but oh so full of joy and energy. I am almost a bit jealous ;-)
we have to make the most of it. every time, every where. only now I remember how important it is to just be grateful for the here and now and enjoy it the most. we do forget.
my every day reminder at the moment is that it will soon change as we're moving on. we'll leave Cairo end of June and yes it will all be so exciting and we're very happy and ready for our new adventure.
I will still be able to rise to a quiet house, but it will take some time to feel just as comfortable.
so, here I am. ready to enjoy every single day and all it's little moments. getting energy for the move and all the moments that might not be as easy. still, to me that's the moments we'll remember and the stories we'll tell. I remember every move we did pretty detailed. first hours in a new country, a new home, new faces we meet that become friends...oh, it's going to be good!
