Over the winter break, I was able to travel back to the US to visit with my family. I wasn't quite sure how I would respond to being back in the states after being gone for five months. Fortunately there weren't too many cultural shocks in returning, but some old pasttimes didn't seem quite as fun as they'd before I left. I was amazed with how blue the sky was each and every day. Living in the "sunshine state" for seven years was definitely something I took for granted. It was wonderful to spend 10 days with my family and to rest at my parent's home.
While I was there, I experienced a bit of a Christmas miracle in that I was reunited with a student from one of the schools I taught at in Orlando. :) What a remarkable surprise and added blessing to my trip home.
