Flat Stanley and Camel

This little paper man sure does get around! Both of my munchkins did Flat Stanley projects when they were a few years younger. Flat Stanley is from a book series about a boy who is made of paper and mails himself different places. A friend of mine from my university days sent us her little girl's Flat Stanley recently. We were very lucky to encounter some wandering camels while Stanley was with us! But for this project, Stanley went high tech. He scanned and emailed himself!

I have found that when I'm not working and spending a lot of time by myself (so goes the life of an expat mum) my mind wanders a lot. I know a number ladies here in the same position. I wonder if this is part of why we all work so hard to stay happy and upbeat? Yes, as expats we lead wonderous and exciting lives, but gosh....there a days you just feel down in the dumps for no reason. Maybe too much mind wandering can be blamed? Hmmm...something concrete to focus on for a bit.....

Peace.
