Untangled

in Reflections5 months ago

My life is complicated; I don't suppose it's any different for others, each of our lives take different, and sometimes, circuitous paths forward, backwards and sideways sometimes too, the only thing we can do is influence it with the hope of turning it to our advantage or minimizing the potential disadvantages that may come. That's what I've been doing for the last week and more.

The most important focus for us has been my guy's change of job - a very positive thing for him individually and for us as a couple - and we have both been keyed on that process for many weeks.

Along the way I've done all I can to ensure he has the space and time to focus on the lengthy and complicated interview process, his research on the potential new employer, personal decision-making process and the decision-process we went through collectively because making the right decision is critical to our future. We're both decisive fortunately and it wasn't too long before he had made his mind up and we'd talked it out both feeling comfortable about the new opportunity.

Once that happened pressure began to release slightly and we got back to normal.

He had to resign from his existing company and package up his existing role - he has a strong sense of discipline and wanted to leave it in top shape - and go through the initial onboarding process and settling in phase at his new company; he's good at that sort of thing and I like watching his processes helping where I can and now he's settled we can start to find normality, to fall back into the rhythm we seem to find.

Life is complex but rather than repel it, working against it, we embrace those complexities and shape them into a life that resembles the one we'd like to have and what's most important is that we untangle those complexities together.

It will be better from now on, keep that in mind. Let's just say the fun is about to begin.

Have a great start to the week.

Fun is...umm, it's fun. I guess that goes without saying though.

Yes, it will be much better; he'll not have to go away as much and has so much less stress which means his life and mine will be nicer. I'm looking forward to it and can already see his stress levels reducing.

Well said Becca. It is good to my heart that things worked out for your guy with his change of jobs. I am confident you will find your rhythm sooner than later.

It's sometimes difficult for him because he's quite passionate about what he does and enjoys it. the problem is when that job takes over. He's been in a situation before when that was the case and it was justifiable and needed really, however that takes a toll and now he, and I, want to enjoy life to it's fullest, reduce the stress and complexity where possible and spend more time doing the things we would like to do. That meant his job scenario had to change and I'm glad it did. I think you might understand a little considering what you used to do.

I completely understand. Best wishes.

Change can sometimes take time and messy things up but together it always works out for the best and I'm glad it did, if it's good for both of you, I'm happy for both of you. Here's to a much calmer and happier life.

Lovely song, Becca, thank you!💗

A calm but enjoyable life sounds quite nice and is something we work towards.

Becca 🌷

That kind of life is the most beautiful.

Good start of the week Becca.💗

The path of change for most people is complex and sometimes full of insecurities, but between two says a saying that touches less.

Everything will be fine, I always tell myself that over and over again.

We like to think that everything will be fine but know that the only way it will be so is to work towards making it so which is exactly what we do. We don't always get it right but we always move forward.

You also know why they will succeed, because they work as a team, and support each other.

It's good to know you're not alone.

Someone once told me that the main core of the family will always be the couple...the others will go away. I didn't really like the concept, but when I think about it I know he was right.

Much love and peace to you.
