Just a few observations today….
Over the last few months many people have asked us “Are you excited??!” To which I have mostly answered not yet – there is so much to do. I have not felt like I am that over-the-top-OMG excitement which I thought I should be feeling – what others seem to expect of our situation. In thinking of this today I asked myself why?
Was I waiting for the house to sell? Done. Was I waiting for us to confirm our flights and our accommodation. Done. Was I waiting for the house to close? Done. Am I now waiting to get on the plane? Land? Sleep there? Have our first meal there? Go zip lining?
I realized I was calmly living my dream. I do not need to be over-the-top-OMG to be enjoying what is going on. I have this slow, consistently moving, bubbling brook of happiness. AND it feels so right!
To top off this revelation of my calm ‘excitement’ of our dream being fulfilled I also realized the upside of what transpired yesterday. When the starter went on the vehicle we are leaving here, we were in the midst of leaving our house with the car fully loaded with the last of our stuff for the storage locker. Today I realized, this is the vehicle we are leaving here – the one which will sit in my neighbours drive, and he will start it a time or two each week to make sure it stays in tune. Had this happened a few weeks later, we would be out of the country and he would have been stuck with a non-starting car in his drive. We are blessed this transpired when it did.
This morning I received a text from my friend and fellow Master Key Guide – she had her baby. A few hours later a picture arrived. Her daughter is absolutely beautiful. I felt this immense joy – but again a calm version of this emotion. To share a piece of her day – to see her dream come to fruition. This ability to connect and revel in others happiness – pure unfiltered joy!
Sooooo happy for you and our fellow guide. WONDERFUL news. Excitement is building here too. sleeping late, waking early, jumpimg up and down like a 5 year old who just found the best thing ever. Someone asked me yesterday what it was that changed things and my reply was “the Masterkey ” yea baby. This is going to be the best, most exciting year of our lives. Luv to you all as you prepare the final steps to Costa Rica. Xxx
