I Can’t Keep Saying None 🤣

What’s a movie or book that inspired you to travel?

My dad traveled the Northern Hemisphere in the Merchant Navy, my uncle traveled the world in the Royal Navy. I don’t need inspiration to travel, it’s in my genes!

We haven’t had many holidays due to my husband’s job. His last boss in finance hadn’t had a holiday for four years. Finance is brutal and full of deadlines. You can’t miss a financial deadline.

We had hoped to be better off when he retired, but circumstances changed. There will be holidays, but not at the moment. Two cats on medication that cannot be missed. Years ago we had a veterinary nurse as a cat sitter, that was perfect!

Plus the airport image is enough to put anyone off!

However, I’ve mentioned a medical condition which I don’t name because that would be to own it. I have a beyond fantastic medical team and I leave everything to them and mind my own business.

It was something I never thought I’d be able to cope with, not since I was a very young child. Yet I am, and there is no doubt in my mind that I have gained far more from this than I’ve lost. Not something I could ever have expected. I read something recently that has stuck in my mind:

Sometimes the worst thing that has ever happened to you can turn out to be the best!

For me that is true. To put this in perspective I’m on long-term care and they’re getting tremendous results with people. A friend of a friend has been on this care for 30 years! I don’t need to be 100 🤣.

So do I care about holidays? No I care about now, hubby, family/friends. Family includes pets. I care about feeling good, and I feel better than I’ve felt for two years.

I don’t need to be inspired to travel, I have a list, but those queues, the state of the world, not knowing what the silly leaders will do next, not Ukraine though, they were attacked.

It all makes travel a little more complicated, unless you’re in the Americas or mainland Europe where on your own land mass you can drive to so many amazing and wonderful places. We could do that until the idiotic Brexit vote gave us back borders we don’t need. We are Europeans and I am proud of that.

All for one and one for all is my motto!

Every day is a miracle, travel or no travel. Every ordinary thing you do is a pearl beyond price if you feel good!

Three pieces of advice

• If you’re unhappy change it.
• If you can’t change it, walk away.
• Nothing is more important than feeling good. NOTHING!
• Read the last one three times and believe it! Act on it.

Best love
