Positivity: Loving where we live ♥

After my last post moaning about the struggles of house-hunting, I've been thinking a fair bit. It is so easy to become wrapped up in this negative state of mind where you feel totally stuck and unsure of how things are going to pan out. Stuck in total limbo. Impatience has got to be one of my worst traits -  I am very impatient so the whole waiting thing in the house-buying process is my idea of hell. I just want to know whether we've been successful or not, so we can either get excited or move on! In this situation it can sometimes feel like your whole world has been put on hold. I really want to start booking some holidays for next year but then I start thinking "what if we get the house? We need to stop spending and have some money put aside". But how long could we be waiting?! I want a holiday! Arrghhh!!

In an attempt to be a little more positive Rob and I have both made a pact to make the most of where we live now. We may only be here another 6 months, we may be here another 3 years. Who knows. But we are so lucky to live in such a charming part of London. It's important that we don't let the frustrations of house-hunting take over. I don't want to depreciate where we live now! I've said it once and I could say it over and over: I love Greenwich! We live in the most beautiful, modern, light and airy flat with a lovely little balcony, we have the River Thames on our doorstep and an UNESCO world heritage site down the road. What could be better?! (Well, a cute little house with a pretty garden and a driveway, that would be better... but ssssh!). This may be our final Christmas in London and very few places do the run up to Christmas better than London. So we're going to make the most of every moment from now, enjoying all that this city has to offer.

Here's to stopping the moaning and making the most of this:
