I can see clearly now

"I can see clearly now the rain is gone." Well, in my case it's the uncertainty is gone. Being an ex-pat, you live contract to contract. Sometimes, signing the next contract is simply a formality. Other times, there's uncertainty. Is the company going to send us home? Is the company going to send us some place else? The longest I've lived anywhere since finishing University is four years. We've bounced around a good bit. I'm sick of moving. With our new family home base built, all the junk in that house hopefully will never have to be moved again.

Knowing I'm not pulling up stakes any time soon is very freeing. I am now free to pursue my volunteer interests even further - maybe take on a greater leadership role. I just need to see where I'm being led. But, at least I know I'm being led to get a bigger space to live in here and....I'm so going to get a dog.

As I go back and read the first posts I made to this blog, things have changed so much here for me. This place may never be home for me, but at least I know I'm ok with staying put here for a while.

Getting out of bed in the morning can be a dangerous business; you never know where your feet will really take you.

Peace.
