NYC Part 2


NYC Part two when Hannah (from Dallas) came to visit D.C. and she's never been to NY. 

Hannah is super sweet and very calming person. After been told he has never been we decided to go 
to NYC for her first time upon her older sisters suggestion. We were given a list of must see places there.

Start of the Tuesday morning day trip to the big apple. We had an early morning bus which we ended up missing by five minutes (literally). Instead of waiting a full hour we decided to go buy a ticket from another company that was leaving in ten minutes or so. In the process a group, of three, Ethiopians came up and we started talking and hit it off. They were doing the same thing as us. Actually very similar. They had missed their morning bus to the city and catching the later bus. They were also going for a day to site see. Needless to say we partnered up and toured the city together. 

I had a hard time believing we had just met them. They felt like family and we networked. The guy in the group lives in Ethiopia and has been an amazing person. It's amazing how small this world is because he graduated the same time as my eldest. Needless to say this was a trip full of blessings.

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." That there's a much larger picture to look at. Something I'm not so sure of myself but my gut tells me to wait a little. When I first moved here I was told don't ask why. To just live. "ሰው እንደሆነው ሆነሽ ትኖሪያለሽ።" As much as that has been the theme of my life, I find that I have been moving far and far away from making the small differences that I can in the moments that God has provided me with. 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...
