India

Well this time tomorrow I will be on my way to India.

I have been madly cooking for the boys in the last 24 hours, stockpiling some stews for them in the freezer in case they need a bit of mums cooking while I am gone.

I also managed to dye my hair this morning.

What I haven’t managed to do is pack.

Packing seems to make it all so final, but I really need to do this or come 4am tomorrow when I leave for the airport I am going to be in a spot of trouble.

So India – I am excited, nervous and scared. Excited as I am going somewhere I have never been before, experiencing a new culture at a very intimate level by living and working there and I will admit I a also a little excited to be flying business class and getting a stop over in Singapore. I have plans already to see the Taj Mahal and Red Fort, and other weekend trips are in the making as well.

Nervous and scared – I am so nervous and scared about offending them, about the project not going well, about it not working, about hating it there, about missing my family, about getting sick but as I type this, I realise this is all stuff in my head that will potentially not eventuate unless I make it happen. Fear

False

Expectations

Appearing

Real

What is going to happen is I am going to do all the stuff I am excited about, I need to focus on that and release the fear as it won’t eventuate.

Better go pack 🙂

Just another little piece of me…..
