Contemplating!

Saturday night without TV, how relaxing and peaceful! The kids are playing on the computer and I'm on my third spoonful of Nutella listening to mellow music. I had a chocolate craving but didn't feel like driving to the store: Nutella satisfied my needs.

Today was a fun day with the kids. From soccer field, where unfortunately both of my kids lost their games to Islip beach park where we met Adam's new friend. We met Logan about two weeks ago at Wendy's. The kids had a nice time together, exchanged phone numbers and today was the playdate. Funny but something like this is almost inimaginable in France. In France people, you first meet, are not as open and friendly as they are in the US. Maybe that is the reason why Americans think French are snobby and pretentious and why French think Americans are show offs and braggers. I believe it is a way of being that you can only understand after spending some quality time in the respective countries. Living in the US for 17 years now, I still sometimes have a hard time connecting to people I meet for the first time. I am actually working on developing new friendships by joining few clubs and activities. I don't want to limit my life to work, house and kids. I am eager to learn from others and so far it has actually been quite rewarding.
Life takes unexpected turns and I need to start being stronger and I need to start making decisions that will ultimately make me happier! Just think about your life! Are you happy? Are you satisfied with the life you live?
