Timing

In life, as in many things, timing is everything. This week I've been pondering the events in my life that have led me to this place and time. I've been wondering about the decision I've made and it's impact on my future and the futures of those around me.

Like the theory goes a butterfly beating it's wings could result in a tornado half a world away, or the small deviation on a path that eventually leads you miles from your destination.

With this in mind I've been pondering my recently ended relationship and the impact that each of us had on the other. I wonder if the timing had been different that things wouldn't have worked out the way they have and I wouldn't be leaving. I even wonder if the timing will ever be right again? And if it were would the chemistry still work, or would a little of the magic be gone forever. Only time will tell.

I've also been wondering about my journey and where to make for first. The time of year will have a big impact on where and how I travel. I'd love to take my bike with me and start in Europe, but the likelihood is that it will be winter in the northern hemisphere when I start. I want to get as far from the cold and the wet as quickly as possible to recharge my batteries and energise myself again.

Let's just hope I get my timing right here on in...
