My Blog

Learning the hard way strengthens the mind and spirit. My short stint working in a foreign land has almost come to an end. It ended abruptly with lessons learned. There’s sadness in my heart to leave new found friends but I am also proud that that I didn’t let myself down. I am glad that no matter what the odds were I still did it my way (can’t find a better phrase). I honor those who have survived and are still in the middle of the struggle. Don’t lose hope! Believe in the strength of the human spirit.

Signing out and heading home

It was a stressful week and I knew I was turning a year older. I didn’t want to get up that day. Spending your birthday far away from home with last of work in the office is not the best way to spend the day. I managed to get up eventually. I got text messages from family and messages. I thought at least the day would be ok.  The day was work work work til weekend.. it was all work spent the day in the office til 9 pm on a friday and weekend in the office. It was sure a great way to turn 35. Is it all worth it? I know I work to live and not live to work (much worse die from it without any redemming value). Contemplate contemplate contemplate. I am visiting home for the first time in a couple of months. Some soul searching will be in order when I get back to the land of 7000+ islands (low tide?)
