So my patience has been tested to the utmost lately with all of the beaucratic issues I have been having since I moved to Europe. Most of you that know me know that I am a pretty patient person, in fact too patient sometimes. But even I am reaching my limit now!
It has been one delay here or more paper needed there or one more desk for my paper to sit on.. and on and on.. Despite this I am still happy to be here and enjoying everything that I possibly can. I mean come on I am in Europe and I have all of this free time to read, think and write and just play! How many times do we get this opportunity?! And I have to say nothing will ever take away from the personal growth experience I am having the opportunity to go through. And not to mention the wonderful people I have met so far. I have to keep reminding myself of this alot lately though. And I realized that sometimes there are temptations in our life to maybe change directions when things are going as we planned. Or are they signs? If you believe in that kind of thing that is. I guess I have had quite a few "signs" in my life to steer me one way or another. Overall the signs were right on target as well. I mean that is partly how I ended up here, other than a desire to experience life over here.
So of course according to all temptation laws( if there are any that exist!) I have been actively receiving many opportunities and notices of openings that I would be perfect for in the USA!! Why now??? About 6 years ago I had considered moving to California and since then have put that out of my mind and have been heading east ever since. Well now there are some amazing opportunities in California, Oregon and Washington State.. places that I really wanted to go live and experience. So is this a temptation for me or a sign?? I even went as far as to reactivate my license in California.. thinking I might just need it one day. There are many reasons I can think of moving back to the US and especially to the west coast, however I am just not sure if this is a sweet temptation or a sign. Well I guess time will tell what comes out of all these delays, signs ,temptations and whatever else may come up. Life is funny like that and surprises you when you least expect it.
Until then I work on my patience everyday, embracing life as it comes to me and desire for more discoveries as my days unfold into the life as I know it now. Which I can't complain about at all.... I am slowing beginning to fall in love with my life. And that in itself is the best thing that could have happened for me with this move.
Till next time
In love and gratitude,
Asha
