I think I will stop planning completely.
Yep. No more concrete plans. I give up!
There is so much pressure to make the deadlines, to get the result everyone else expects.
But SO MANY THINGS seem to get in my way.
Sometimes it can make me feel like I am failing. In reality though, I don't really care that much. It seems everyone else does, but I really don't.
Instead I choose to believe in cultivating gratitude and happiness.
We have almost finished the van, but not quite. So what?
We are two months behind our original leaving date. So what?
I haven't gussied up the van with all my crafty decorations yet and taken photos. So what?
We have run out of funds but still need to buy new wheels and tyres and a cargo barrier for the truck. So what?
We might need to hang around town for another month or so to earn some safety net money (and for the wheels and stuff). So what?
What that means to me is ..
More time to sew more caravan bits and bobs ... and I have pyjama fabric ready and waiting ...
More time to crochet ... I will finish my ottoman granny square cover in time!
More time to practise ... we can take the van away fro a weekend and trial it out before the BIG TRIP...
More time to spend with friends ... I have missed them so ...
More time to spend with family and loved ones ... catchups are LONG overdue ...
More time to save money ...
More time to remember ... those whom I have lost recently ...
More time to recharge, relax and unwind from the frenetic chaos of the last few months ...
No matter what life throws at me, I will always be grateful for what I DO have. That I can promise you.
