…It only took a year (Thailand)

It seems pretty representative of how busy and crazy life has been that it took me a whole year to finish and upload some photos from Thailand. These memories do however seem even more precious looking at them a year on……..Time really does bring more perspective and this time we spent away changed how we view and respond to life. We had big plans for our return to Ireland on the top of that list was building the new cottage on our land, however just before leaving Thailand the way in which we wished to do this changed drastically. The plan was for us to knuckle down, me take the new full-time job id been offered and basically work, work, work to get it paid for. But this just didn’t sit right, yes it was the most logical way to get it done, we would have a nice house at the end but it would mean sacrificing a year of our lives. So instead i turn down the job and trusted that somehow the money would come, that it was more important to enjoy our time this year as a family.

This was the biggest lesson we both took from our time way, that our joy and happiness is far more important than any outcome. Be happy, enjoy what you do and everything will work out.

A year on this lesson stands testimount as the cottage got built! (with work, but work we enjoyed 🙂 )

so here are some photos of that dreamy time away…… reminding me to keep dreaming those crazy dreams …….
