Merry Christmas 2010

It has taken me four years, but I have now settled into the African lifestyle. While I was happy before, it is now more a state of contentment, a richer, more fulfilling happiness. The slow pace of life here has become a true joy for me. It hearkens back to remembrances of the days of my childhood, when afternoons seemed to be endless, and the days progression was of no great importance. I find rapture in the warm sunny days punctuated with rain. The rain gives a rhythm to life, all be it irregular, and that irregularity makes it even more delicious. I am grateful beyond words.

May you all have a exuberant Christmas, and a truly glorious New Year. You are all in my thoughts, and more importantly in my heart.
