the month past- the year is over

WOW, I am really impressed how fast the year past by.

Today is my birthday and that makes it a really special day- 22 on the 22sd.
Like you see my Blog was death for the last couple of month. Not that there was nothing to write there was a lot…. it was just hard to figure out where to start and how to contine. Somehow it made more sense to spend the time with the people here. The people who became the center of my life.

I guess this is what it is all about- the success of living and working in another country is primarily embossed by the people we meet and the people we spend time with.

I had a really different day compared with how i would celebrate at home.
Still, now the kiddows are running through the house, excited and thrilled… and even if the feeling is different i feel ok and happy.

The most amazing thing is though that my facebook account is not ending massages from all over the world.
People who mean the world to me called, texted and posted there greetings.Family, old friends, new friends… and a whole bunch of people i havn`t seen in forever.
This is the wonderful thing at a birthday, people who you never expect contact you to show that at some point in your life your ways crossed and they think about you.

In a week i leave chicago.-Heading to Seattle and down the west cost
I am sure I will miss John, Melissa and the Kiddos, who became a big part of my life, terribly. But I also know that I can`t wait to see my family and friends, who showed me especially today how special they are to me.

Thank YOU so much!

yesterday at work

one of the crawling little monsters is learning to walk- so he fell, and fell, and fell….

my colleque entered the room- he fell- she helped him up and said:

“this is life- you are trying to walk, you fall, and try to stand up again, and sometimes you need a little help.”

She sat him back on the floor where he reached for something to push himself up again-the circle of life.

just a thought

It is just wednesday and i ask myself how to get up tomorrow.
Tomorrow is Thursday that means CHild care. Tuesday and Thursday Child care- Mo, We, Fr Iguana….
Uff… i can tell that i want to learn something and never have to work at two places again.

The thing is working makes you tired, beeing tired makes you crancy….
and then it happens that you just ask yourself- why exactly do I need this experience again… ????(-nice question-)

Danke

Danke

Once in a while when the energy is low there is a little sign from somebody special. The heart smiles and the energy is back up- ready to embrace life.

work update

And deep inside you packed you things and belived somewhere somebody will really say

“We just waited for you.” But sooner or later you wake up and realize this

IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN….

Then you go to the usuall stages from depression, to joy, to bordom and so on… and you fill out applications online…you register on every webside that could help…and after a while you realize THAT IS NOT GOING TO HELP…

Then you chance your strategy and resfresh all you “relationsships” your post looking for a job- you begg people and explain how important this is and you realize THEY CAN NOT  HELP.

Again you chance the direction of travelling to print out your resume- you find the best JOB HUNTING PARTNER EVER- and you walk, and talk… you sprint and print … The sentence  “May I fill out an application follows you in your dreams” and you realized  I HAVE GONE TO FAR TO GO BACK HOME…

You hear the sentence “We are not hiring” on and on- and you ask yourself is this what I really wanted…make it more difficult than it was before…

Even though you know that most of it has to do with the economic situations, there are dark moments where you ask yourself what you made wrong or what you could have done different….
This is the moment where the big PPP- Family comes in… you talk to those members and they tell you it is not you IT IS WHAT IT IS and YOU ARE IN IT To SUCCED….
ANyways after month of frustration, maybe even depression and lonelyness- because nobody wants company by feeling like that- there is a phone call- or a person who says- actually we are hiring…

And you know IF YOU WANT THINGS TO HAPPEN YOU NEED TO MAKE THEM HAPPEN.

It did happen to me – i find myself working in a jewelry store, learning about pircings, different materials, gages…and how to sell…
Next week I will also start working in a child care- with babies… Tuesday and Thursday-and with two part time jobs- I will hopefully be able to travell in July…

Suddenly you have the feeling you catched the wave of happyness, joy, and even success…even though it might be a little different than expected.
