i like this place but it is not my home, and i like this family but it is not my family.
i am so ready to be home and to be with my family.

| you shall above all things be glad and young.
For if you're young, whatever life you wear
it will become you; and if you are glad
whatever's living will yourself become.
. . . I'd rather learn from one bird how to sing
than teach ten thousand stars how not to dance

| we went out for dinner tonight--a vietnamese restaurant. on the way home amy said to me, "maria, we've been here for over a week now. are you happy?" my answer, "yes, of course" was not even a question in my mind. i am happy here. a few weeks ago this was not on the horizon at all--i had other plans in mind--but now that i am here this seems like the most natural thing. i was excited to come, but scared too, but now that i am here, i wonder why i was so anxious. true, i don't really have friends here, but that will come. i am glad to be with peter, natalie, and amy. it works very very well. strange that i didn't know any of them that well a week and a half ago. now they are family. amy and i have the same ridiculous sense of humor. we say the same things at the same times. peter and natalie, well, i dare say they like me, and i am glad about that. there is a church that i will attend (i could not the last two sundays) called city church. it seems like it will be a good fit for these five months. so yes, i am happy here. but do you want to know what would make me even happier??? VISITORS!!! so, come to san francisco. you have no reason not to. it is an amazing city. i have an amazing place and we could have so much fun. |
