My past two weeks - recap

...what happened recently...

I’m back again :-). First, I was thinking I should come up with a fancy post-idea, but then this quickly disappeared & I decided to share with you what happened these last two weeks in my life. It will be a bit like a processing-journey for me as well, cos many things happened that I am still digesting now.

As I said in my last Email, my sister moved here to the North of Sweden, together with her two cats & our Mom joined her for the trip. This means the Chrobok-ladies were together for two weeks, settling my sister in, fixing and organizing things, moving, registering and also just being together. The days passed quickly, there were so many things to do, activities to partake in, that time flew.

I realized once again that I am very grateful to how my work-life looks, cos I can be super flexible in when I do what & arrange it according to important appointments and schedules. I can also take time off very flexibly without needing to report to anyone, I love that!

My sisters move here close to me is quite a special occasion. Our relationship has been rather tricky for our first 30-sth years of our lives. We had many fights, many misunderstandings, we did not get along well and all my life I wished for a harmonious sister-relationship. Us living close by would have never worked in the past, ever.

But miracles happen and since ca. 4 years ago, certain occurrences happened & somehow we connected so closely, that it is possible for us to live abroad together. Well, it is just two weeks now & she lives ca 20 min away by car, but I am telling you: it would have been impossible in the past. So the fact that we got this far, to me shows, that we will manage everything else coming too!

I will continue to be honest with you: family getting back together always leads to certain tensions coming up, issues being uncovered, old patterns being repeated, leading to small or bigger crashes or melt-downs, for one or the other party, or all of them. Also in our family!

However, the thing is: how do we deal with them? How do we repair those? How does each one of us handle the situation and ourselves? This has changed over time as well & that is surely also one reason why all that is happening now is possible.

A bit about our family history:…
