Something Remarkable is Happening...

I find myself as acting single mother, north of the Arctic Circle with no family (until next week), and an overwhelming amount of decisions to make. In my line of work, the term 'decision fatigue' is thrown around a lot! Ya know, that theory suggesting that making decision is exhausting and that there are soooo many things you can do to reduce it on a daily basis (know your purpose, values, plan the night before etc etc)... well my friends, I am finding that I infact experience decision fatigue by 7am every morning at the moment!

My husband has moved already, we together packed up A LOT of the house and got it ready for photos and market ready but then he moved! He packed two suitcases, and the dog and moved! Everything he wouldn't need he left and I have been left behind to finish the job while he goes and sets up life for us (and starts working) in Tanzania!

In all honesty, it's amazing. This really is what it feels like to be working as a team, having a common goal and doing what it takes to get there. We play to out strengths and rely on each other during the weaknesses and I am pretty sure we're both loving it!

Apart from have a great affect on our marital bliss... something else has happened. My husband left a not even a week ago and just today I have had my neighbor help me in the garden and cut the grass and get it looking n ice ready for an open house on Sunday, another friend came to help me lift all the heavy boxes out of the attic, while another friend took my youngest for a walk in the stroller and this evening another friend will come and take away all the crap and drop it off at the skip for me. That is all in ONE DAY!!

I am overwhlemingly grateful for the help I am getting. The kindness of all my friends and the genuine sadness that we are leaving which now shows often. I'm in awe of the way people are going out of their way and I think its safe to say that my faith in humanity has been restored! People are good, and kindness is contagious.
