DAY 355
I haven't been writing for four months. I can't believe how time flies. At first, I believed I would be able to only write once in a while. That's because I didn't foresee what was going to happen to me.
Yes, I was busy packing boxes, buying fixtures, curtains and furniture for the new house, making sure the renovations were progressing as planned, taking care of my children, etc. Yes, I didn't have much time to write.
But, it's not only the fact that I was physically busy trying to accomplish so much... It's as though I didn't have any mental space left. It's as though all my brain space was taken up by the project I was involved in. I couldn't write the thoughts I was having about my experience because I was immersed in the present moment, swimming as fast as I could in order to try to get to shore on time.
Renovations and moving are said to be amongst the most stressful events in life... I was doing both... and in the middle of the school year on top it.

I often had thoughts about what I was experiencing. But I couldn't imagine taking the time to write them down. I had to focus on the task at hand and move forward. Only now do I feel like I'm ready to analyze what I have experienced in the last few months and share once again my thoughts on happiness.
Am I going to have the same discipline I used to have? Maybe not. But I do know I will reach my destination of 500 days, no matter how long it takes me to get there.
