The Roller Coaster Ride Continues...

Some times we have moments in life where we need to just clip on the seat belt and hold on for dear life as the ride we have chosen to be on speeds up and gets a bit out of control.
And so, we seem to have chosen the craziest ride in the amusement park that is our life in the colonies!
As I breathe in I see our life having changed so much over the last two weeks now that hubby has been booted out of work into retirement - at least for now.
His health is no better but there is a weight off his shoulders as the decision to stop work was made for him rather than him having had to have made it if you know what I mean. Now he can rest which is what was terribly needed and look at what he can do to resolve his shoulder injury.
We have to learn to adjust to living on a very reduced wage.
That safety net of a constant income is, for now, gone.
And as much as I do understand that all will be well, I dont like the feeling of insecurity.
This included picture is of our liquid amber that is in our front yard - it refuses to drop its leaves even after every other tree in the neighbourhood is standing naked and bear for weeks. It's stubborn, just like everyone else in our family!!
