Phantasy becomes reality

August 30, 2922

Restricted, confined, diminished... I don't want to say much about the past two years. Everyone knows exactly what I mean. When I was cursing and complaining, a great doctor said to me: 'Every crisis takes us further and challenges make people grow beyond themselves. Don't let yourself be beaten down. Take your energy and transform it into something good. Everything happens for a reason, even if we don't know it yet.' (Thank you!)

Since then, the desire to look beyond the horizon has grown more and more, despite everything that was happening in the world. Europe is only a 'dessert plate', but before we tackle something big and then retreat, let's just start with a small portion. If it doesn't taste good, we can just pack up and go home.

A year off from everyday life. A year to show the children 'the world'. A year away from excess and consumption. A year just for US and occasional visits. No appointments, no obligations, and above all, NO ALARM CLOCK. That would be great...

I once learned that if I want something, I have to speak it out. Tell, ask, pass it on. How can 'a shooting star' fulfill my wish if no one knows about it? So I said it out loud and set the ball rolling. And one thing led to another. Our son is starting school and his little sister is now old enough to have memories too. My travel-loving husband was already starving, the job after our move to Lake Constance was not quite what he had imagined, and a wife alone for a year, cramped in 12 square meters, how can a man say no to that 😊

Thank you, my beloved husband, for doing everything with me!!!

Notebook out and into the adventure...
