How I sometimes surprise myself....

Today is just a day of reflection. As I walked through Russel Square today, which is a park around my house I ventured into this cute little area, where I decided to take a little break and just take in my surroundings. I sat one with nature looking at this amazing place that I now live and thinking about the amazing opportunity that I have by being here. I know that coming to London was not an easy decision for me. I mean I did leave a lot behind like my family, and the amazing friends that I have made throughout the years, however, I think that as I sit here in this park, I feel very fortunate and very blessed to be here. I feel that although I have given up a lot, that in the end I will also gain a lot. I know that it takes a lot of courage to do something like this, so when I am feeling sad and blue thinking about how lonely I am, I need to focus on that courage and that drive that brought me all the way across the ocean in search of a new and better life. I do not know what the future will hold, but for right now, I only see an amazing road ahead of me.
