so um

i wrote this whole long blog about my day on saturday and then i deleted it because i think it was too 'all over the place' and rambling.

i went to the black forest on saturday morning and it was delightful!

it was a second chance for me to try being friends with someone....i think it went rather well. we all deserve second chances once in a while! i know i have had my share given to me...

besides it never hurts to keep ones enemies close!

:-)

i am not feeling super hot today. i spent a great deal of my sunday crying. i know! who me, weep? NEVER!!

i have been going through all my photos of the kids.....of my friends....thinking about the solitude i seem to have here. i have friends that don't live in basel. i start thinking about the 'what if's' should something happen to me. i know that joachim and tamara would do what they could as they are in basel and my employers....but i guess in that security of friends sense, i feel a bit wobbly.

i am really enjoying life here....maybe though i was traveling so much every weekend that i had sunday to sit and really be with myself and my thoughts.

i haven't had a good cry in a while. i wasn't so much sad as i was just reflecting i guess.

so all is well. next thursday i go to london!
i am so excited for my trip....going to see susan in rome will be quite the fun fest as well. it's really too bad she's moving back to her native canada!

seems like a great lot of folks are going back to school in this economic climate!

i am enjoying playing the tele and reading my friends book which i am almost done with and i don't want it to end! maybe i can wriggle the final installment out of him!

*wink wink*

so all is well. just the ups and downs that come with this life.

hope you are all doing well too.
