Where to start? Do you have a place, where you feel, like you are in a different world?
I have such a place. A little less, than two years ago, I bought a trailer. A trailer on a camping ground, close to my parents home and just a 5-minute bike ride from the beach. My husband wasn’t keen on me buying it. It took me several years, to realize, I needed to follow my heart, and just do it anyway. And I am truly thankful I did. (So is he :-))
The past six weeks, I’ve spent in my tiny second “home”. Yes, that is what it has become. A second home or even a second world. A different universe.
Time has a different dimension over there. Do you know this feeling, when time, on the one hand, seems endless, and on the other hand, it rinses through your fingers?
That’s kind of what it felt like. Six weeks are a long, long time, to take a break from normality. Yet, they passed by, faster than I ever thought they would.
I had so many plans for what I would do with all this time :-) It makes me smile, to think about that.
My trailer certainly is not a “productive” place. But a place I truly love to be. Where nothing “must” happen, and we live day by day. Moment by moment. Just like the wind. Time passes by like sand rinses through our fingers. I can still smell the ocean. I love the ocean. With any kind of weather. And as my trailer is in the Netherlands, we had it all. Sun, rain, storm . . .
And now we are back. Back in that other world. Where I have my home-office, and thousands of emails were waiting for me. And guess what. I do really like this world as well. Where the day has structure; where I wake up my kids with hugs and kisses and we jointly eat breakfast, before they’re off to school; where I still hand them their schoolbags and wave them goodbye at the door; where I have the house empty at 7:30 am, to then make tea, open all the windows and get ready to work myself; where we eat (healthier food) at regular times; where I meet with my girls for sports and dancing; where there are actually workdays and weekends. You get the picture. Life here has a totally different pace. It’s a different beat of drum.
I love both worlds; The one, where time seems irrelevant and days just come and go as well as the other one where habits and structure, rule the day.
So now, that I’m back in my “productive” zone, I want to finish my test of seven and write that one last piece. The seven graphs that keep me sane. They’re coming, they are already on the way :)
Wish anyone, reading my update a marvelous day.
