Dearest Friends, many of you know that life has
taken a side turn in my little family compound, and I therefore cannot with
open heart celebrate with you the first year anniversary of my blog. I
will still try to share some positive thoughts since my husband's accident one
month ago.
Many are asking how are we coping? I don't
really know. But so far we are. It seems the cliché saying of "extreme
situations trigger tremendous energy reserves" can be part of the
explanation. I have found within myself military-like organisational skills and
many positive things have appeared in our lives:
- We get to enjoy lunch together with my
husband on daily bases as I have arranged to work from home. (ok I cook the
meal, but it does not diminish the value..)
- We get to spend 1 hour more with my daughter
every day as I take her to and from the kindergarten.
- I get my regular sport sessions, as I now know
that the only time to do this is in the morning between 6 - 7 am.
- I have discovered the wonders of online
grocery shopping with home delivery (why haven't we done this before??)
- I have discovered that washing windows, cars,
getting fuel, mowing the lawn, cleaning the front yard all only take 30
min.each max. So no excuse not to do them.
- I have (almost) stopped watching American
movies and thanks to this have taken a jump-start in my studies - 10 creadits
in one month (!)
Most importantly, I have discovered how many genuinely
caring people we are fortuned to have around us. The neighbours who just
brought hot soup to us, the colleague who drove my husband from the clinic, the
friend who brought the mail to us at home or the other one who came help us
bring the tools to garage. And the many others who regularly call us, send
messages or come for a visit. It really lightens the days and help my
husband to get better. Thank you so much! We love you too :) !
