Really, I almost forgot about this little anniversary. That is until I began talking to a new expat in the area. She talks about all the problems she is having and going through. The language barrier, the living conditions, the food, the safety and just about everything you can imagine!
Because of these talks it makes me realize how much we have grown as a family and adapted to Brazil. Things that used to bother me just roll off my back and I keep moving forward.
The painful transitioning phase passed a year or two ago and now we are settled. The problem is that it takes about a year to settle and you go through so much that you really don't want to switch things up. You figure that you might as well stay for a little while because things might get easy or bearable!
That is the point which we are at right now. The bearable phase but now I feel that we want a change to something a little more comfortable.
I am proud of how much we have gone through and I now I really am ready to switch things up a little. I just hope that an opportunity comes along soon before I fall back into complacency!
Wish us luck that something will come along or that we find a new niche here.
Tchau,
Sara
