So true, the perspective you get 6 months down the line is immense. I live in Spain and they have a saying that if something starts badly it is a good omen for the future. We had a nightmare the day we were moving to Spain, car broke down, 300 miles from our house, etc, etc. and the enormous change we were doing was very painful and stressful but 6 years later, wouldn't change that for the world and we're really happy living here.
