Day 77: Ominous weather

 "I have seen many storms in my life. Most storms have caught me by surprise, so I had to learn very quickly to look further and understand that I am not capable of controlling the weather, to exercise the art of patience and to respect the fury of nature" - Paulo Coehlo

Project 365: #77

The view over the neighbour's property at the rather ominous looking weather (especially for summer, as this is not a nice summer thunderstorm, but more like a coldfront). It actually sums up how I feel, and not really what you discuss with anyone. 

When moving home in your own country, it is the excitement of a new house. When moving from an adopted country to another adopted country, you have already experienced the unknown, and remember all those feelings of anxiety....a bit like a storm brewing in your stomach (instead of delicate little butterflies). You have feelings of great excitement, together with feelings of extreme anxiety. As with the weather, the feelings will pass, and beautiful days will dawn...but in the meantime...I know, I know...I do have faith that all will be good, it is hard when you are a control-freak to let go of all those hundreds of factors out of your control though! Ominous weather usually brings rain, which is essential for growth, so I will focus on the long-term here knowing that storms quickly pass, and exercise patience for what will come.
