Change…

IMG_0574Today’s challenge is to identify one thing we would change about ourselves if we could…

Tough one.  There has been a lot of change for us lately.  New country, new town, new house, new business, new jobs….

There are many things about this process of creating Hosking House, that I look back on with the wisdom of hindsight – but none that I’d confidently say that I’d actually change.  Things can always be different, but when you put your heart and soul into something – you’ll always see the beauty in it.

I did come up with one thing I’d change though…as Autumn changes into Winter here, and memories of the long, hot, dry, and truly epic summer dim a bit – I’d change drastically the time that we spent at the beach.  I’d go back and ensure there was not a day that went by that my toes did not get covered in black sand and that our bathing suits were constantly in use with plunges in the ocean.  The kayaks would be on top of the car each day….

There is always next year.  Life should calm to a gentle rhythm, the changes should be memories and life next summer will be all about the beach!
