Why things happen when they do

I'm a bit of an emotional person, as my friends and especially my family know. I am also a strong believer in intuition, which often manifests itself in strong emotions. I'm also a believer in fate: some things are just meant to be - and some not. Some things can be changed - and some can not. And some things happen for a reason at a certain point in time. With 8 weeks of constant illnesses with the kids - mild but enough to have to stay away from school and daycare - this seems a very good time not to be in a rigid office job. With the sun out and the mildest January and February temperatures I have experienced in my 13 years in Berlin, another reason to enjoy not being in an office. And today, despite still being ill, I went to art class for the first time in many, many years. Even if nothing more, I have done so many things I love during the past weeks. With all the ups and downs, this was the right thing to do. Now.
