The Beginning


We made the decision to change our lives today. Possibly by moving to China. It wasn't as quick as it sounds. It's not as if we woke up in the morning and said "we'll move to China". It was on the way home from work in the car that we decided. The suggestion was made a week or two ago and we've been umming and aahhing, as you should about such major moves. But action has always been my preferred method of thinking so here we are, about to start another adventure. Other options also include buying acreage with a small house or traveling / working around Australia.

I've always felt a little out of place, like I haven't quite found my 'niche' in life, particularly in terms of a career. I've drifted from job to job, changing my mind every 6 - 12 months about where I'm heading. Those that know me, know I'm not a "people person", inevitably clashing with someone in all situations. Those that have managed to get to know me well, know that I hate this fact. Marrying my husband was one of the few paths I chose that felt "just right". Lately I keep coming back to the feeling that I'm not making the most out of the time I've been given.
So a change is definitely in the wind. Will we move to China - that remains to be seen, but we are taking the steps to be in a position to do that. First step is to start downgrading our posessions and exploring our options.
