And we're off ...

Wow, I can't believe how quickly my departure date arrived. 

I have been wrapped up with anxiety and guilt these past couple of weeks about leaving David to start a new adventure. I know I've been writing about it a lot and I've been overwhelmed with messages of support and love. We knew this was going to be hard but as a friend told me recently 'making a big life change is scary. But what's even scarier is living a life with regret'. I'm probably not as eloquent with my words, but the phrase hit home. 

I am sitting on the plane as I write this. Its really hard to pinpoint how I'm feeling. I definitely feel a lot more relaxed and less anxious than I was 12 hours ago. But that might be the champagne or the cocktail I had earlier in the flight. Or the Baileys that I'm sipping on now. 

But in all seriousness I do feel more comfortable now than I did before I said goodbye to David. Now it feels real. I'm actually on the plane now. Now excuse me while I recline my chair into a bed and try to get some rest. I may write more later, depending on how I feel. Dubai is still 8 hours away. Sweet dreams from me to everyone, but especially David who is hopefully snoozing comfortably right now in bed xx
