Vman! So good to see you and to hear that you are doing well. Here’s to your imminent Toulouse Man record!
Love to all.
Leigh I love the backpack analogy. I need to sift through my backpack more often and ditch the stuff I don’t need.
Funnily enough, on my last extended travelling trip, I stuffed waaaay too much into my backpack, half of which I didn’t need. After lugging it around for weeks, I vowed to never ever do that again. (I think I vowed the same thing after a previous trip too, I really need to learn from past experiences). Next trip I am packing lightly!
But I need to do this in everyday life too, especially with the worries. I spend far too much time worrying about things I have no control over. Yes it’s time to work more on letting the worries go.
