Clearing My Mind

Today, is a, ‘I’m struggling to find any humour’ day. As we were scheduled to view a property in an area I have recently discovered that I really love. Not that far from here, but a bit too far today. I reluctantly had to accept I’m not up to making the journey of ten miles! Having used every spare ounce yesterday, showering in preparation. Mmm.

Good Decision

The decision to postpone was reached. Along with the location being maybe just be a little too remote for someone with limited capacity, the property is probably a little too small and in need of additions. I say remote. I know for US residents, our idea of remote here in the UK is peanuts!

Love Where You Live

But it’s still a glorious part of Essex, which is still nagging at me. My husband may do a visit, but I really don’t wish to give the vendors false hope in a challenging market. The thought of being surrounded by farmland is, however, wonderful and an ever decreasing prospect in this part of the England. As so many green spaces are being built out. As mentioned in an earlier post.

Too many think of Essex as concrete, tarmac, white stilletos, The Sugar Hut and takeaway outlets. It is far from just that, and incredibly beautiful where left unscathed.

I digress. I guess there does need to be some wisdom in one’s choices. Hopefully, I will get over the dip,or out of it, before too long. As it is not unexpected, that the process is using up all my capacity. But at least I can get out occasionally, even if it is to look at someone else’s home! The view/rest, view/rest, view/rest cycle is a bit too much at times. Yes, I know I should be grateful, and I am.

The process can feel and be overwhelming. And “how are we ever going to find the right place” keeps rolling around in my thoughts. And “run awaaay” is just not a rational option. This scripture came to mind:

2Corinthians 4:7a-8 NIV

But we have this treasure in jars of clay…⁸We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair;

Closing Thoughts

Hopefully tomorrow will feel a little easier. As the musical line ‘I get knocked down, but I get up again’ runs through my mind. I’m teatotal btw, just incase you wondered if I had been sneaking an extra beverage into my Camomile tea. So today is a day to regroup, be kind to myself and not beat myself up. MEcfs does enough of that as it is. And listen to my newly started chill playlist on Spotify. Look at me learning to seriously relax!

I hope your day is panning out well. Thankful that I have a space to come to, write and clear my head. And I appreciate you stopping by, which also helps the process along.
