"Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing." Helen Keller
This is pretty much how I am now viewing this new chapter in our lives. It is time to move from our comfort zones and extend ourselves, after all, how many people truly get to start again at this stage of their lives. So, we are giving up everything that we know, everything South African to learn everything German! While I am sad to be leaving behind all our special family and friends, the opportunities that await are so exciting. These goodbyes are so sad, more so for the girls as all they know is about to change. They do not understand all the reasons now for us wanting to take this opportunity, but hopefully in a few years time, they will understand. With our time for moving drawing closer and closer, there are more and more farewells - highlighting our reality. It makes butterflies in the tummy with all that has to be organised, and for all the changes that are about to take place...from weather and seasons, to new languages. Here's to change and new beginnings!
