As I believe I've mentioned before, I'm looking for more positivity, more pro-activism, people who will help you to look for solutions and not place hurdles in your way. Everything in the UK is doom and gloom, everybody is always throwing reasons at you why you shouldn't be doing what you're doing or can't do what you want to do instead of finding ways to make it happen. It absolutely wears me out. I've heard that NZers are much more willing to give peeps a chance, that turns me on. Let's all give each other more chances and a bit more benefit of the doubt. Everyone deserves a chance to come through. The UK likes to squash people before they've even tried.
I don't think it'll change us - I don't want to change I'm happy being me - I've worked hard at making sure my kids are happy in their skins but I think the NZ way of life will 'fit' us well. I think we will learn a lot, I think we'll grow a lot and I hope we'll have lots more fun. Life is just too serious here!!
