strange
I still find it strange after all this moving around and change how when one makes a decision - the mind immediately is set forward to the new place.
I have been inspired by the move to Ghana to explore via the interweb - the culture of the Ghanaian people - as with many african countries - it is just not 'one' people but several different cultures blended into a extraordinary mix of beauty, language, food and symbology.
I am excited about the possibilities that are waiting for me - not just as a person but as a teacher - I will be moving from Kindergarten into Primary and teaching subjects that fuel my personal life - history, geography, art. English and Math are the givens - so to speak. I will be teaching ex-pat kids and local ghanaian children - which will be another challenge again - goodbye children speaking 2 languages at once in the classroom; having a native co-teacher to help you - it's back to basics - one teacher, a classroom and learning..for all of us.
As always, I feel blessed - I feel God in everything I do - I am not talking the 'church' god - but that guidance for with-in and with-out. The most difficulty I am having at the moment - is the silence from my family on this - nothing from my sisters - granted they are busy but what is one or two lines in a email that could take 5 minutes?
I did take a strong stance on this regarding what I feel I need to do to be happy - call it self-centred etc but if I am unhappy - I am not exactly a productive member of the family - right?
What will be, will be.
