Happenings, dreams, hurt, loss and awesomeness...

Oh The Places You’ll Go !   That is a popular graduation gift – it is a Dr. Seuss book, which is funny, and I so enjoy reading it. ‘And when things start to happen, don’t worry.   Don’t stew. Just go right along. You’ll start happening too!’ Yes…it talks about slumps and loneliness along life’s roads which are facts of life but what joy it is to come out of those hard times!   I sent the YouTube link (see below) to my sister Susan and it reminded me of the time she and I were in a musical together – The Sound of Music .   Great fun…she was Maria and I was Mother Superior.   The song Climb Every Mountain has similar (more old school I suppose) words of wisdom: Climb every mountain, Ford every stream, Follow every rainbow, 'Till you find your dream. A dream that will need All the love you can give, Every day of your life For as long as you live. I’m not sure why I was pondering these things…I’m not in a slump or lonely but I do love going places

Phone, atm, office and shelter - my little world!

1/14/15 Happy Wednesday!   I am feeling a bit more ‘settled’ today.   I got a SIM card for my phone and opened a bank account last week.   But the ‘data’ part of the phone wasn’t working (that’s why I have a smart phone right?!) and I didn’t have an ATM/Visa card so I couldn’t use the funds in my bank.   So I was thinking that everything was kind of useless J .   I received my ATM/Visa card yesterday in the mail so Bob and I went back to the mall and got that activated and working as well as the data on my phone --- so now I feel like a functioning person.   Weird maybe but it makes a difference to have some simple things taken care of in my little world. I have also started setting up the office where I am working so that feels a little comforting as well. Printer?   - check White board?   - check Cork board? – check My life is pretty much spreadsheets at the office up to this point.   A couple more years to do some entry/uploading – good stuff!   End of January is t

Hungarian - nem tu dom (mostly)!

Ertem is Hungarian for I understand. Tu dom is Hungarian for I know.   Nem tu dom is Hungarian for I don’t know. -- Nem tu dom what this year will bring…is that good?   Is that bad?   I really am in quite a state of ‘unknown’.   -- Nem tu dom what my ‘normal’ day looks like.   I actually anticipate no two will look alike!   Each day will bring new people, challenges, blessings, work to accomplish and things to enjoy!   I will find out soon enough as this week starts the ‘normal’ work routine. -- Nem tu dom when I will be going to Poznan, Poland.   Which in itself is probably okay but now that I’m on this side of the ocean; I feel so close and am very anxious to see the wonderful people…and enjoy the Sweet Surrender coffee shop again.   Maybe because it is now part of my ‘comfort zone’?   Nem tu dom but I look forward to being there sometime soon. -- Nem tu dom much obviously J !   Tu dom that life is moving along – my family in Oregon and Idaho had a great Chri
