I'm Back

It was really strange. Last night I was sitting on the sofa when it occurred to me that I think I used to have a blog. I was very excited to see I still had it and could still use it so have made some changes. I love the idea of having a blog and my own personal space, however, I hate computers or maybe they hate me. I never enjoy coming online except to shop and look at all the wonderful things I want but will never be able to have.

I didn't realise it had been so long since I used my blog and would like to try to make a regular contribution to this. I enjoy talking and thinking and this is the perfect place for that and I'm kicking myself for forgetting about this. It shows the stress I was under. I opened this as I went through a rough patch and since then have accomplished a lot. I have graduated from my university, moved back home, learnt to drive and completed my teacher training in secondary RE. I have become engaged and am now settled in back in Wales with my fiance. As I talk the Welsh rain is thundering down on our kitchen skylight.

I have to now find myself a job in Wales either as a supply teacher in Wales, whilst I continue to search for some back home in Essex, which is my ultimate goal to live near in my home near my family. Then maybe when I'm older and have children maybe a move to the country will be on my plate, such as Somerset, which I also love and spent a lot of my childhood summers there. If not I might find myself living in Africa at some point in my future, if not going to visit my other half's family every summer holidays.

These next few years are crucial as this is an opportunity for me to settle down and begin my life properly on my own with my future husband. Hopefully we can both end up jobs we want and are happy working in, and maybe will have children in the future. I hope that my best friends will move back home in Essex as well because I miss them and I have dreams of being with them for the rest of my life; I treat my friends like my family.

One thing I have learnt in the last couple of years is to not make definite plans but a rough guide to life. I need planning ion my life otherwise I get stressed out and have been known to go into total shutdown. I have also learnt that the plans never go the way I want them to, so as long as I have a rough goal in life I need to enjoy the ride on the way.

I look forward to sharing my journey with anyone wishing to come with me.
