Melt with Me

I have lived in Belgium for just over one year now and feel pretty good with the way the cookie crumpled. I am delighted to have work, a residence card and a few certificates of accomplishment for learning more than a year of the Dutch language and also for learning about the system that governs Belgium. I am happy here and think it a positive place to live work and make a life. YES there are still many challenges infront of me but, considering how much I have learned, I say bring them so that I can continue to learn and adapt, after all that is the goal of my geographical point of view. ADAPTION. best of wishes and many thanks M "Once we accept our limits, we go beyond them." Albert Einstein

It's Been a while But only for the writing output, not the drama and excitement that flows in and around my simple life. I have moved back to the pearl of the pajjotland. GOOIK There are fabulous mountain biking trails and places to walk, as one of the elders here says that walking is the ONLY thing to do in GOOIK. Pretty funny but quite possibly true. I have a lot of work like normal but like normal I am finding other things to do instead. totally typical me anywhoo just a quick note to get back on the writing track. tot ziens M

Hello and Happy New YEAR!!! Beste Wensen Back to the daily grind again and the snow is here and the temperatures make my bones crack and creek, My face and skin becomes red and then the atrophy begins, fast and slow the body is taken over by the cold, some times the feet grow cold first sometimes the nose , mostly my hands suffer this new dimension. Stay warm be dry . Have a positive outlook and remain calm, but dont forget to drink water and have extra warm items in your car. blankets and socks and good boots to walk in and even extra water there too. Me I dont have a car, but I remeber the advise that I used from my parents and especially my father when old man winter came. xox M
