Round 2 is a different creature

(From Sarah(thedoula))

Breakfast is very quiet. I think I notice that meal most because I'm actually eating breakfast these days. I'm not normally a breakfast girl but 30+days of it have hopefully created a habit. Yesterday I cooked eggs and toast. Poured orange juice and brewed coffee. Got it all laid out on the table. Sat down and thought "Wow. It's quiet."

I've definately been taking my time getting back into the swing of things here in Canada. I almost typed "here at home"..... but the compound in Ghana was home as well.

While I am certainly grateful for hot running water, washing machines, cream for my coffee and so on.... life in Ghana wasn't that bad. It felt normal in fact. And this life here in Canada is just a different normal. Round 2 of returning home (round 1 being the 2000 mission) is really a different creature and I'm not sure what else to say about that. Because I don't want it to sound like I didn't miss my friends and family and the comforts of Canada - I did. Just not so much that I felt I needed to come back to them right away this time.

I need to connect with some pregnant women soon. I spent so much time at the clinic during our last few days in Ghana, that I think I'm going through some sort of 'birth junkie' withdrawl.



I am an introvert who truly enjoys my time alone......

but I miss all of you....

I can't wait to see you and hug you. I'll even check out any blisters or scrapes you have. :)

This post is making me kinda teary - I think I'll go to bed now.

Sweet dreams my friends.
