Changes

rose-scented geranium

There are some years when nothing much seems to happen and life moves with a steady and gentle pace and there are other years where change is constant and exhausting.

While 2011 has not required the radical changes of 2008, when we moved interstate and started a completely new life, it has certainly been a period of transition and uncertainty.

Both my husband and I have changed jobs this year, and the kids have experienced changes in their lives too.

However, I am so thankful that we are all together in a house that we love and are slowly building strong networks in Adelaide.  Although I had never considered living here before it became a necessity, Adelaide is now home.

I am so glad that the place you live and work now feels like home. It is so important to feel the comfort of a "nice place to fall" at the end of a busy day, with family that you love.

It is so good to hear you say that you feel you're at home now Kate. I knew it would come, but it took a little while, didn't it? If I lived closer by I'd pop in for a cuppa and celebrate this moment with you! Will a blog cuppa suffice?

Thanks Rita and Tracy.

Tracy, if you're ever in Adelaide a you'll have to come and visit, and we can have a real cuppa together.
