Florida


Orlando Florida. Five star Hotel and living the life. 
Thought we were doing things then. 

It was the best of times, and the worst of time. 
The day before going I found out my great aunt had passed away. 
I was hesitant to go on the trip but with my grandma going back to Ethiopia. 
I was going to be of no use being home sad. There were many moments of feeling down
but having my cousin-sister next to me was comforting. She kept me strong and helped
me keep moving.

Grateful for family who are friends.

This too shall pass

Today I began my day by taking a ride to work, the driver had on the radio and a zen kind of music was playing. With the news of all that is going on in Ethiopia with Gofa and the exchange rate, folks are stressed out to the point I find it difficult to breathe. So I appreciated a moment to sit in what felt like silence. And of course, as I point this out, most of you will say then why don't you move back to the United States?  And, as hard as it is to be optimistic and have hope in moments like this I remind myself "This too shall pass."

I feel like a crazy pers...

TBH

Moment of honesty...  I think I stopped blogging partly because I don't have time anymore. But mainly because my life wasn't fun anymore.  And although a little bit of seriousness is needed in order to live an adult life, I think I've lost myself in the process. I'm back to being a floating object. Not sure what the next goal is.  I miss the days of us being in grade school where we knew what was next, pass the test move on to the next grade keep doing that until college. Then you choose your "path" graduate. Than float.  When I grow up I want to be happy, but I also want a family and live a proactive and productive life. Chasing money doesn't make me happy, that's one thing I've learned so far. But I also don't want to let my future me down.  She deserves to live a life full of everything she wants and needs.  I'm at another turning point in my life not sure which way to go. I'm not sure if back to the Sta...
