“S  ometimes when things are falling apart,
they may actually be falling into place.”

I love this quote and Facebook keeps finding ways to make it appear on my wall. There’s that teamwork again. It keeps reminding me that what I focus on, is key.

After that first epileptic seizure, end January 2013, my life has been turned around. I’ve compared life with a jigsaw puzzle before and it feels like all the pieces have been removed and shaken. Giving me the opportunity to look at the pieces again and decide what still fits and what doesn’t anymore. Like certain relationships. Some have been reshaped and just don’t fit anymore. And that’s okay. It gives room to new connections. And this whole brain tumour process brought a lot of new and unexpected pieces on the table. That’s so fascinating to experience, I can’t even put it into words. It feels like a rebirth and it’s so exciting to discover this new jigsaw. What pieces still fit and what’s not working anymore. Ending my freelance job is a good example. That didn’t fit anymore. And every day I’m grateful for the lack of deadlines.

Freedom. That’s the name of this current jigsaw. Allowing myself to let go of all old boundaries. Looking at old pieces. Do they still work? And if they don’t, removing them. So everything can fall into place. Some parts of the puzzle are perfect. Peter comes to mind;-) but a lot more connections are stronger and intense. Falling into place. It’s an awesome process. That sign next to the road comes to mind. The best of what is and what’s new. Yes. That’s it!

I’m so grateful for this whole process. I hope you can understand why. I’m the lucky one. I really am. Thanks for all the love.
