Experience has taught me well: New place

My travelling have kept me so busy to find time updating my blog. First I was really busy packing, throwing and giving away all the things in the house before we leave. Then we have few days helping our two daughters moving to their new apartment. One moving from one temporary apartment to a permanent student apartment in örebro and the other moved in with her sambo to their own apartment. We helped them to the very end of the day before we flew off that day.

It was a happy and also mixed of a sad feeling to leave my two adult girls even though they are big and grown up adult. They want to continue staying in Sweden for now and are very happy to have their own place. In Sweden once the kids reach 18, parents cannot force them to move and live with us if they don't want to. As a parents, I am happy to see them growing up and taking their own step on their growing up and self responsibility of own now.

We all sat down and talk before we make that decision and we all agreed to it. Sometimes no one knows how close our family are and how we function together as a family. We are united, we help each other, we gave support and we are strong as a whole family. No one can break our family up. Even this distance, I never fail to talk to my daughter on a daily basis especially to the younger one.

Teaching her how to cook dishes that she craving for, and we chat on about everything everyday.

I never run from problem. We try to solve it instead. The decision we made can be right or wrong, we never know as no one knows what happen in the future but at lease we try and dare to try to do new things. No one is perfect but we try and if we fail we never give up. Many people dare not take the step to move away even they hated or dislike their present living for many different reason. Reasons after reasons are what stopping most people for not being able to overcome the fear of moving on to do what they need to do. At a farewell party home where we have invited some of our close friends, we were being questions, how do we do it? They respected us in many ways as we move around which most of them would love to but dont know how. Its true eventually people agreed when my husband replied, sitting to discuss to move away in one week, one month or 6 months will still be the same discussion. Once decision are made, everyone agreed, then it does not need to be repeatedly discuss months after months. Some people will try to sleep with it for month and months to see what are the possibilities, what if I cannot, what happen if I fail, what can I do, where can I start and the questions of doubt, fear and negative will start to overcome them. That was when that feeling will take over them, they decided to stay put to the same place where they are miserable or not happy because of the fear they had might happen but have not happen.

Seriously I made many mistake in my life, I never regret doing what I have done in my past but I know I regret things that I have not done in my life. All the things I experience are a lesson to me, some brings me happiness and some gave me lesson to my life but the most importantly I am not afraid to do it.

My daughter came to me once and said to me that she is thankful to me and daddy for it's because of us, she have learnt so much. She travelled and move around the world and learnt so many things and know so many people which other normal people who dont travel and experience it will never see the same. She even said that seeing her friends from childhood, born there, grew up there, school there and eventually work there and some have start raising a family of their own there too. Its a pity she said, the circle are limited for them and the world are big and beautiful which they have not explored.

Here I am in Dubai right now with my husband and son. Today since he does not hv to work, we will be going to see Jumeirah Palm and few other touristic places.
