Well, today is Friday and we just got back last Friday afternoon. Coming back to this different world that I live in has many challenges. This week, I think I have met many of them head on:
Funny that in my week of re entry, there are so many “re” words…restore, restock, repair, remember, revisit, reunited,reminisce, reset, relaxing, realizing but most of all REJOICE……so here we go, I am BACK!
reunited with Leron, he says it is a bit quite without us in the house…we sure did miss him
restored a normal sleep pattern, as I seem to have beaten jet lag quicker than expected
remembered how people drive…..have navigated crazy traffic scattered with herds of cows, goats, sheep as well as realizing that my shortcut through the dump is a big puddle filled with livestock eating trash and VERY smoky as trash burning has commenced
relaxed by the pool, love love my slower pace here…reading a lot
restocked my bare pantry (remembering that this is not one stop shopping)
returned the kids to school
resetting schedules with realistic expectations…got back into the food prep groove (bleaching veggies, just remembering that everything just takes me a little longer here)
readjusting to a “place of MANY needs” from the “land of plenty”…still not sure how this works out….two totally different places…..something I struggle with a lot…..who and how to help?
repaired the my kitchen sink (this is the 3rd time it has rusted through….hmmm, ya think we would be using materials that are impervious to rust) When I say it needed to be fixed, it was because any time I used it my kitchen flooded! The man came 1st thing and it was done in a jiffy.
rediscovering the wild and crazy things I get to see each day….animals in and on vehicles, people being creative in a variety of ways, and well…I could go on, but just thought I would add a pic of a goat outside our gate stretching for the tree up above to get a fresh tasty nibble
remembering all of the beauty that is here…bougainvillea, numerous different plants, but mostly smiling faces
reminiscing…what a super summer we had
REJOICING over so so much…..safe travels, RAIN, great start to school, did I say RAIN?seeing old friends and remembering why we are here….really missed so many people! It is truly something wonderful “re”turning home!
