Just tryin' to spread that possitive vibe!
Feeling good today - sun shining, sound of kids playing out back. Feeling happy....feeling settled! Been here almost 6 months now. Only recently realised the other side of the "getting a life" thing......the "loosing your old one" side! Funny, when we arrived, we were getting mail and e-mail all the time. Friends and family in contact and always interested in new news. Then it kinda stopped. Still get a few every now and again, anything real important, but kinda realising that it all drifts. And now how that makes me feel? To my surprise....it's all pretty good! Sometimes, it's just meant that way. You'll keep in touch with those you really want to...and the rest get on with their lives. But sometimes, that's a good thing. To move on. What a chance we have - some will never get that chance to start from the begining and just do things differently! It feels good.
5 months ago it felt risky, scary, lonely, no work...but in the back ground of all that..it still felt hopefull, which was something I never felt in UK. Don't get me wrong, I love UK, and loved living my 1st half of my life there. But although it's still early days for us here, I feel more positive and hopeful than I think I have ever felt. Also a part of that is now having work - which I start this week. So getting "out there" is really an important part of the settling process I think.
I changed my rented house rooms around last night...it feels less alien to me now and cozier. Pottered today, nice refreshing shower, smooth cup of coffee and 1/2 a bar of chocolate! Gonna go put music on and find some fragrant odours to fill the house. A "me" day - I've smiled all day......I like today!
OK, Trolls have a field day..............

Life ain't that great over in Blighty for me at the moment, since the day we have stepped off the plane we have had more knocks than a Black & Decker Work Bench and they keep coming
Over the weekend I have been dragging my tired brain and bod around . . . . no more, done the same as you . . . . re-arranged my house to bring in a new kind of positive karma (good old feng shui!) and will not allow myself to be brought down by things happening around me that I just can't change.
All I need is a job where I am not publically bullied and be-littled by an insecure pig of a human being and my life will be back on track
It is all about taking control of your life wherever you are in the world.
So yes trolls, bog off you are ruining a very good Forum, those who haven't posted for a while, get your ass back on here, the world needs more positivity!
Karma to you hun.

I am in the process (like many others) of shutting down my life here and when it drags on and you can't get things done as fast as you would like because of waiting for visa process, it sometimes lets those little demon doubts pop in.
You have definately helped to get my positive head back on track
All the best with the job !
