Remembering you have to live as well as move

 

As I get back to blogging the year of actually living dangerously, this is a little reminder to me of why I wasn't so efficient in the weeks immediately after the dream began. Work. I edit a royal news website and there was the small matter of a Coronation to get through.

It was one of the best experiences ever and the day itself was amazing. But, wow, was it hard work. I didn't stop for weeks. I felt totally immersed and like I got to experience every moment of it. But it was time consuming.

Work is. Life is. You have to accept that and you do, more, as you get older. I wanted to live every moment of that amazing day, of the build up, of the aftermath and I did. But suddenly, it was mid May and I hadn't had the chance to focus on the move as much.

It's not worth beating myself up about but you do, that's the problem. You forget that for a lot of the time you think you should be doing something like a major move, you were actually working really, really hard. The months ahead are quieter, workwise, so now is the time. But that was also another kind of time. And I loved it.
