A Redundancy With Purpose

For months I have been writing about running and running and then swimming. Amid all the running and running and swimming- life has been occurring.

I have had the luxury of having Cowboy home for the last couple of months.

Luxury if you call being made redundant a luxury.

To me it has been.

We have had a couple of months of time Cowboy wouldn’t have had otherwise, to absolutely bond and hang with Monte and me.

While I run, he has looked after Monte and when I return he pumps weights.

We have both got a great fitness thing going on and by night we have been cooking dishes fit for the Kings that we are. (except me)

How nice it is to have the luxury of time in a day, not rushing to and from anywhere.

Whenever we tell people that Dave lost his job, we are met with sympathy and/or advice.

I see it as a blessing.

Honestly!

Sure, it was a shock to the system when it happened, but things always work out how they should.

Our clouds have been completely coated in silver, forget the lining!

I am so grateful,  if Dave had not  been home there would have been no way I would have completed all the running training and raised over $5000 for the Afghan Women’s Writing Project.

Monte would have missed his daily games outside of a morning and the blokey, tools and fixing stuff bonding that has gone on.

Tomorrow Cowboy has some work at a property not too far out of town. It is casual, but it is something.

I am going to miss him! I know Monte will too.

I am preparing myself for the “Where’s Daddy gone?” symphony tomorrow.

Instead of berating the redundancy and the fact we are practically on the bones of our butts now, I am grateful for it!

Even though we have been skint as over Christmas, we have never for a second worried.

I am so glad we are not  materialistic, money is king kinda people. Money is not king. Time, living in the present, enjoying the simple stuff is the BOMB!

We have been blessed to have had this fantastic gift of time together the last couple of months.

As much as I am always trying to achieve this and achieve that, there is something magical and beautiful in not knowing what is next.

The great unknown can launch you into a place of wonder that exists purely in the present.

When the future is unknown you can either let it overcome you with anxiety, or you can take a better look at what you have right at this moment.

I certainly have a lot.

Redundant? My butt, we have never felt more purpose.
