Have you ever just had so many things going on at the same time in your mind that when you try to focus on one thing only, every other individual thing distracts you and you end up thinking about nothing at all?
That's me right now.
After our move from Abu Dhabi to South Africa, my mind is a mess. I guess it's normal to be somewhat overwhelmed with certain aspects and changes, but in the "almost" 2 weeks that I've been here now, I can't say that I really had the time to just sit and get my thoughts together at all. Everything has been a rush, especially with both my parents in and out of surgery in the very same week. Nothing major thankfully, but looking after 3 small children and 2 elderly bed bound patients is quite tricky.
It's touch and go.
I don't think I've had a good night's rest in nearly a month, but I won't complain about it. Perhaps this is something that I needed to just show me again how strong I can be and that I can mean the world to someone, even if it's just caregiving and laughing at bad jokes.
Craziness has meaning.
Difficult situations have meaning.
We can choose to see it or ignore it.
Every day is not easy and the struggle can be real but I'm thankful to be in my home country, close to family who needs me now more than ever.
There is always something to be thankful for...

I can certainly relate.
One step at a time, as they say. All the best to you and your fam. <3
