hiatus?

How embarassing is it that it has been over ONE year since my last post!???
I could totally jump into the string of excuses about work and how that just took over my life, or something, but the reality is that....i was just lazy!

so here we are....September 7th 2006, location Nairobi Kenya, and life is still beautiful.
So much has happened in the last year, so much has changed and yet even more has stayed the same.

I took the plunge and moved back to Kenya ...FOR GOOD...on July 19th. Talk about a scary move, but sooo worth it. I do not regret the decision, although I am still aware of the adjustment that it is coming back home.
There's the 'finding your place in society' dilemma...you come back and all your pals/ relaz who are here, have their lives, commitments, pals etc...and its tricky to figure out where you stand. and here is where i thank GOD soo much. my best friend is back as well and so we get to do the whole Nairobi rediscovery pamoja!

Then there's the getting used to not being alone! hahaha...gone are those moments when if you really just wanted to spend some quiet time alone, you could. It seems like quiet translates into 'you are depressed' or 'why are you upset'! But what I thank God for in that instance is that, people here care!! People want to be happy, and surrounded by family and friends and enjoy fellowship...Im sure if we looked at the statistics and supporting research, the close knit community spirit in Kenya is one of the reasons why we do not have high suicide rates.

Hmm...then theres the fun job hunt! enough said...for now...coz thats an entirely different blog!

Lets just say that..Im goign to be blogging a heck of a lot more, coz its fun, Im gonna have much to say....and more importantly, I like having my own little space on the web;)

hope you are all well and blessed!
