we never knew it would be like this on our doorstep...
it's not quite on our doorstep...
we live in a village...
but scotland is on our doorstep...
& this is what she is made of...
& it makes our heart sing...
our kiddos love the connection with home...
australia & scotland- where nature is larger than life...
we were regulars on the manly ferry into sydney harbour...
it's on our doorstep back home...
here we use the Isle of Skye ferry...
the kiddos have loved this trip many times so far...
Glen Coe...
a battle field of beauty...
think Braveheart territory...
a very *favourite & best* spot for us...
when we moved from the beaches of sydney to the english countryside...
we never knew we would fall in love with an island that holds treasures like this...
old fishing cottages...
made of stone & on the wild edges of deep bays & lochs...
off the top of the UK...
off the top of scotland...
memories are made in many ways...
when we decided to take our kids 15,000 miles away from all they knew...
we wanted to fall in love with other places...
we wanted to fill their hearts, & ours, with memories of special places away from home...
we've done that & so much more...
moments to last a life time...a good life wednesday...every day...
it's all there for the taking...if you want it...
acceptance...resilience...adventure...hardship...love...
life abroad...& we don't regret a moment {yep...even those moments!}
a good life wednesday...
travel broadens the mind. the heart & the soul...
we knew that...
but until we actually made the move...
i don't think we really knew quite how much...
~~~
thanks sarah for the reminder to reflect on a *good life* today
a moment to think & smile about the small things
