Finding the path

I had believed that when I arrived 'home', I would know what to do next.
Now that we have been home for almost 3 months, I feel like I still don't know! But there are some things I have been learning:
1. Frustration and impatience don't change anything
2. Doing nothing doesn't achieve progress
3. Doing something just because you feel like it, rather than because it should help the situation, does achieve progress
4. The most important thing is working out what you want to do - not how you are going to do it
5. The right path is not always the obvious one
For a while I was very impatient - everything I started remained unfinished. Everytime I would launch into a new direction with the idea 'this is it', a barrier would pop up - usually just in time, I now suspect.
The other day, when yet another barrier appeared, I said to my husband:
"If we are heading down a path, and an insurmountable barrier appears, then it must be the wrong path."
Such a simple statement, but instantly the despair and depression connected with our situation dropped away.
Now I'm excited about finding the next markers for the trail through the forest of life.
And it's all about the journey, and not the arriving.
