Moving boundries


It’s impossible – said Doubt,
It’s dangerous – said Fear,
It’s unnecessary – said Reason
Do it anyway – whispered the Heart

When we got the opportunity to go and live in Tanzania with Jacqueline’s job after five years in Denmark, it was not an easy decision. I considered myself lucky to have a job where I was happy to go to work every day and was met with the right amount of challenges. Thea and Jacqueline also thrived in Denmark, so the decision to jeopardize our comfortable life in Gentofte to move into uncertainty was far from easy. However, we made our decision in the end and packed up to go and live in Africa once again.
It is said that you regret more the things you did not do than the things you do. I guess only time will tell if this is the truth for us. However, in my family we are risk takers and I am convinced that we would regret not to go. In fact, I believe we would in many years to come speak of the time where we had the opportunity to go to Tanzania – the one country we have wanted to go to.
The moving business was painful but all that is now behind us and the first few days here have been full of new adventures. Jacqueline is working extremely hard getting her new organization set up and Thea is starting her new school and swimming classes this week. Me: I guess I need to find my new purpose in life as a trailing spouse.
