We were looking forward to our move to Spain. When D-day arrived, we were a bit scared.
Are we
going to be able to learn the language? Is the house as nice as it was in our memorie,... Many
questions and few answers.
Yet we took the jump. We are very happy we did. The house is even nicer than we remembered. The people
here are very open and helpfull. We chose the best place on earth to live!
Of course the move was not that simple. Loading the truck was
physically and emotionally heavy, leaving Herentals and Belgium was not evident. Flying with 2 children and 2 cats was less evident,
but we've all survived;)
Meanwhile, we allready live here for 2 weeks and it looks completely different than Belgium.
The rhythm is a lot calmer. It was a huge adjustment not being able to go to the store between 14 and 17 because of the Siƫsta, but we're quiclky adjusting.
We needed a lot of things to decorate the B&B, and so we went on exploration. On this tour, we saw the most beautiful sceneries. Spain is a beautiful country !!!
The adventures of a Flemish woman in Spain running a bed and breakfast. Expect : life meaning quotes, hussle and bussle of everyday life, spirituality, dreams, expectations, children,... I run a bed and breakfast in south east Spain, in the beautiful Hondon Valley. The environement gives me energy, spirit, power, strength,... that I would like to share with you.

Moving changes people
With the move to another country, there is a lot of "junk" that you must
discard. It is often a decision of: "Is this really necessary?",
"Will I ever need this?",...
For the real junk, this is not a problem, that is just thrown away. It is harder when you're talking about objects with a history.
Such as the cradle flanges of the crib where my children slept in. This is something that nobody can use anymore (certainly because that cradle itself is gone), but they are of a huge emotional value. So that is a doubtfull case.
This is the same with letters, cards, photos, ... . You can't keep everything, but where do you stop? What do you keep and what do you throw away? Not an easy question.
The answer is : trust your feeling !!! If you're feeling says, that you want to keep certain things, then just do so !
This applies to "rubbish" at a removal, but also for people. There the message is the same : "Trust your gut feeling !" Some people suck all the energy out of you and give very little back. Other people give you energy and those are the people you want to keep in your life.
Chose wisely !
