yum. turkey

well, i have safely returned home. it's quite nice. sometimes you forget what home really means until you get there. this has been the first trip i've come back from where i've had the most trouble with jet lag. but that is finally over and now it's time to get used to other things. i guess in time i'll become more stylish like i used to be, will actually take my buff off at some points in time and wear the unusual thing called make up again. but then again, maybe not.


the thought of coming home always brings up mixed feelings. here you are surrounded by people who knew you before but will it be the same? i've left and i've changed but what else has changed? will home be the same? will home have changed? or is it just me that has changed? what will people think of the change? will people even understand?

i came home with all these questions and got one answer that was easier and more pleasant than what i was expecting. and that is that there are people at home that love me more than i could ever hope for. and that is pretty much all you need. that love has answered all of my questions. sure i've changed and sure things have changed here too. but change isn't bad.

next week is thanksgiving and boy do i have a lot to be thankful for. this is my first thanksgiving at home since 2005. and to spend it with the people that i love the most in the whole world is quite a blessing. i'm lucky to love every moment of my life. to have friends all over the world who are determined to change their world and expect nothing less of me either. and a family who would support me even if i wanted to be the president of some small south american country. so happy thanksgiving everyone.

may you be reminded of many reasons to be thankful.
