1) Learning to play the violin - after the initial stages of sounding like a cat being strangled and having to practise in the garden shed, even in winter, it has enriched my life completely, a highlight was being able to play in a cool dance band called Loonaloop and tour Australia...
2) Marrying my husband was a grrrrreat decision, he also plays violin and makes instruments, he's made me a guitar and a wooden puppet of me each year for my birthday - that must be love!
(He's just bought in my dinner too, so beautifully presented...)
3) Deciding to stop trying to fix my family's problems and concentrate on building my own, family that is, not problems....
4) Being an instinctive parent, learning to trust my heart and love my family.
5) Moving to the country - despite missing London boat life, this country lark is lovely and calm and green and peaceful and saving us lots of money so we can hopefully get our foot on the property market ladder and do lots of other exciting things, like maybe one day get back down under.
Number 3 is such a good lesson.
ReplyDeleteHow amazing does your dinner look?
Love it. I never got past the strangled cat version of the violin. I remember my friends crying with laughter as I tried to play 3 blind mice. I gave up after that.
