Walked another 5k today, i love the sea front here. The noise of the sea is incredible and we can hear it almost everyday 200 metres away in our Moho. I have always enjoyed running but whilst being so out of shape walking has filled its place i could just walk for hours and hours on end. It does my mental health the world of good. Being here has it advantages, but of course it has its disadvantages as well. Being so far away almost allows you to disconnect for a while especially if things are stressful or challenging.
With that same sentiment if anything doesn’t go to plan your a long long way from home and getting things like work is made 10x more difficult. I suppose that is the point really, if it was really really easy to do what we do then no doubt more people would be doing it. I have always shared the good and the bad on here and that has been for a few reasons. Mainly to show you that it is not always a world of candy floss and lolli pops. Sometimes you do get under each others feet and sometimes you can fall out but the key to happiness really is how you recover from that. So if we ever have a disagreement for example after about 5 minutes of being a bit moody one way or the other, a quick “I still love you though” or a “i have forgiven you know” in a jokey way and just forget about it and move on.
This week hasn’t been the best for me personally but i have always been so lucky to have my little Scottish firecracker by my side who has nothing but unwavering love and belief in me. I have never known anyone to believe in me as much as she does and that always helps when things get me down. To her I could walk through a field full of sh!t and come out smelling of roses. That belief though sometimes hurts the most when you feel like you are letting your family down. No matter what we always seem to land on our feet and as we have done with every hurdle previously we will land on our feet again.
