Today I have had a much slower day at work. Finally it is vacation time here in the South of Holland and alot of people have gone south to soak up the lovely sun. Me, I am staying here in town to work and have some time to reflect upon things a bit.
Today as I spoke to someone I haven't seen in 6 months. And you know your life can really change in 6 months time living in a foreign country. And the crazy thing is that you see yourself every day so you don't even notice the changes yourself sometimes. The man said to me that my Dutch was way better than 6 months ago( thank goodness for that :) and that I had changed in my personality a bit. I kindly asked him in what way has he observed this and he said that I have become a little more quiet than what I use to be. I laughed because most people, especially my family will tell you that I can be the most opposite of quiet :) But I have to say I think I have become more quiet and reflective... maybe even a little calmer..Who would have thought!:)
But it did make me think of all the little milestones that I have accomplished in a short amount of time and who knows what will happen in anothers years time. Really I had a vision of what it would be like and now I am getting to experience it for what it is. It is a joyride overall and I am just still riding the waves one at a time.
It has reminded me to pat myself on the back and tell myself " Good job Asha... you are living and thriving in your life." I think it is an evening to celebrate these milestones and have a moment of gratitude for everyone along the way and the experiences that are yet to be experienced.
I hope you celebrate your own milestones in your life no matter how big or small they may seem.
In love and gratitude,
Asha
