The long list turns to joy?!

I am currently in the process of trying move house (well: continents actually) without losing my head. And: without a house waiting for me on the other said so far.

From the moment I said 'yes' to the new gig, my to do list became a mile long. Who to tell and in what order? (This is still Asia). Where to get tickets? How to transfer all the Thai money to Euros? When to take the bus to Vientiane to get a new visa? Which books and things can I bring? What am I leaving behind? You get the picture.

The first time I did this (four years ago) was a little chaotic, quite hectic and very exciting at times. This second time around there's a lot more space to enjoy the process and the things and the people you're leaving behind. This of course has a lot to do with going back to a place and having done it before.

It will be very familiar to be back. On the other hand: I'm pretty sure a lot has changed in four years and it will be fun to reacquaint myself with my home town. And with the other mile long to do lists that are surly waiting. Hold on. I'm coming. At least here will still be here and now will still be now.
