I
had to make a lot of changes in my thinking, expectations, actions,
speech!, and in my over-all perception of who I was. I became
a new person.
It
was a very interesting first year, and not just because I spent four
months of it in a body cast...
I
think this series piggy-backs nicely on my theme from last year, which was
“Postcards From Sweden.” In those posts I taught a Swedish word
or two, included an appropriate picture, and a childhood memory.
This
series will be similar, except you won't have to learn Swedish words!
I know some of you enjoyed the childhood story part far more than the
lesson...but I might throw them in to show you how imprecise English
is, because I'm obnoxious that way.
I
hope you come back and read all my stories, and I'm not above a
bribe. Last year I put all the comments from all the posts in order
and had random number generator pick a winner. Andrea, who is now
one of my Terrific Team of assistants won the $25 IKEA gift card. So
visit daily! Haven't you ever wondered what it would be like if you
had move across the ocean to another country in the middle of your
perfect childhood? It's an adventure...Interested in the prelude? How did we end up living in two countries? The Swede, my Dad, wrote a three part series last week telling that story. Check these out if you have time.
