My favorite quote for times like this. "Ride the wave, don't fight it."
Yes, yes, exactly this. Thanks, sis.
I'm getting a lot of sweet, concerned messages about my state of mind and emotions, and I appreciate it. I hope everyone knows that I know this is just a part of the process. Of course I'm not going to feel settled here yet -it's only been a month. From my move to Spain (and a lot of previous moves), I know it takes around 2 years to really feel at home someplace.
So, I don't expect to feel anything other than what I'm feeling, and I'm just sharing it all with you as it happens. Believe me, you'll know if something really serious comes up. In the meantime, while it's not a lot of fun feeling some of these things, I don't really mind.
I do have to remind myself of the quote above, when I find myself resisting or trying to interfere or change things from the way they are unfolding naturally. I notice that sometimes I step in more often than necessary with Maya, or with anything that's going on. I just need to step back, let it happen, and see that it's all really ok. I am working on that.
Thanks everyone again for the love and support. Knowing you are there means a lot. Know that I am (and we are) ok!
