You know how I sometimes say, “I wish you enough”?  To me, that could mean enough:

Love

Food

Attention

Happiness

Joy

Peace

Friends

Knowledge

Strength

Clothing/Shoes/Flowers/Stuff

And tonight, I include travel.

I am learning the hard way.  I had enough, more than enough and I am burned out.

I am exhausted.

I am tired.

I had too much, more than enough and I need a break.  Kinda like eating too much chocolate and then feeling bloated, but still wanting one more taste.  I don’t want to stop traveling and playing, but I need to.

I would not recommend booking every weekend full for two months at a time, like we have, with three kids in tow. Not an expat best practice. And my kids are not happy with me.  They just want to chill and hangout and see their friends. I get it. I can learn from them too.

It’s hard to admit that when I feel invincible and want to do it all and see it all before we move and I feel like we have to do it all right now. I don’t like to slow down and I don’t like to admit it when I’m not feeling well.  I also don’t like to say no or change plans once we make commitments.

I’m not trying to complain, I’m just being honest. My body is not liking me right now and I’m listening (I think).  My kids are tired too and I think we’ve all had more than enough. Yikes.

So I am practicing saying no and changing plans, and I’m learning to adapt in other ways that make me uncomfortable.

I wish you enough and the courage to know and say when enough is enough.

Namaste.
