So then she turned two, two years came and went. Two fantastic years, I've traveled I've become a parent I've retrained. I've started a new career, I've become more active in my social Life again. I've truly learned who I am what I am and I've made some of the most amazing friends along the way.
I've traveled to four continents and nine countries. All the while I never once questioned what was I doing.
Where am I going, trusting it was going to fall into place. While enjoying parenthood like nothing I've ever enjoyed before. Of course, there are challenges but doesn't everything. But mainly all it has done is really allowed me to get to know Leah even more. While getting to bring up the most wonderful little girl I could ever have asked for. Every day I feel lucky and thankful that life has worked out this way.
But the interesting thing is that as soon as I stopped worrying about life, stopped finding it hard, stopped questioning my actions, stopping trying to be something someone, stopped over thinking, stopping looking at the time, stopped listening to other people, and started to just be. Started to love myself, not question myself, started going with my gut and starting trusting myself. Then life became simple, fun, exciting, the anxiety floated away, the stress floated away and I became light relaxed and at one with myself.
Every day I'm thankful for Both my health and mental health as I know life was not always like this and I appreciate the simple things. So when I wake up beside my daughter smiling at me and hugging me and pulling me out of bed, I don't take it for granted, I didn't complain and wish I could sleep longer, I instead feel incredibly lucky that I get to enjoy life so much and don't want to miss a moment. Two years, two fast wonderful years, I've no regrets I don't and won't look back, and wish to Change anything, as my career grows and I make plans for the future, I think why didn't I stop worrying a little earlier, things might have gotten easier quicker. But with no regrets I'm thankful for what I've got now. Everything I could wish for. My health, happiness, wonderful family and friends while doing a job I love. As the countdown is on for my next trip to India, I relax, soak up the sunshine and continue to enjoy all the wonderful new experiences that life keeps throwing at me.
