When K and I were first engaged and starting to look for a house to make our home, we began by looking in the countryside around Limerick.
Having been brought up in a village location, I really liked the idea of a house, built for us, in the country. I didn't really want to live in the city. K was also brought up in a small town, but was aware that most of our friends lived in Limerick city. So we didn't want to be too far away.
However, after looking at various plots, and hundreds of house designs, I started to get cold feet. I wasn't sure that I wanted to be spending my days ferrying kids absolutely anywhere and everywhere they needed to go. And having to take a taxi any time we wanted to go for a night out.
So, we found this house. Right on the edge of the city. A compromise that has turned out to be the best decision we ever made.
Yes, I still have to take the kids to various things, but their pals are almost all within walking distance, and that makes all the difference.
They have spent all day again out in the back garden playing, and I just love seeing them out there enjoying themselves, with as many or as few friends as turn up!
So, I was right to listen to my feet! Some go with their heart, some with their heads.....I have to listen to my feet! Trust me to be different!
So, today I am grateful for my feet! The instruments of my instinct.
I never realised before that when K says my feet are hummin', he's only telling me that they are trying to tell me something....at least I hope he is!!!
Gratefully yours.
