Hotel Comfort Saint Antoine Lyon

... in my life, and things not being perfect or in my control (which is my weakness and in my nature) that I am completely content with my life right now. Maybe its growing up some, maybe its learning from examples of others in my life what really matters or maybe I just naturally learned to accept the things I cannot change. Either way I am grateful that I have reached this place.

Right now the fire is crackling in the chimney as Virginie adds ...

... financier quand même pas très beau avec des bâtiments des années 70-80 pas très jolie), des énormes centres commerciaux avec plein plein de boutiques, plus de pub...

... the UK. When I arrived Lis had cooked me an amazing 3 course french-themed dinner! I was so spolit by her the whole time I stayed, actually. It was so nice to see an old friend and completely relax in her company.

The next day I got up with Lis, who had to go in to university fairly early for classes. I headed to the Musee de Beaux Arts, via some great shops and a stop for a hot chocolate which came in a little jug and was so rich and dark I couldn't finish it! The museum was ...

... my party friends but deep down as long as I am challenging myself and working hard I can be content, no wait, happy, with the “American dream”. Humans are always searching their whole lives for their purpose. They find themselves married with two or three kids, a mortgage and a pretty pathetic sex life since they got married and feel unfulfilled with their accomplishments. But the truth is that we don’t have a purpose, we are here ...

... gaining some (as most of you would tell me much needed) weight here, I actually am embracing it instead of spiraling into a downward depression and declaring my life a catastrophe and I am a worthless person (putting it lightly haahah). This time I am well aware that 1. A few lbs is not going to kill me or put me in the category of obesity 2. I had room to grow in all of my clothes so its not like I am getting bigger than before 3. My body will ...

... deal with eating and I need to cut back on the sweets just because sugar= cellulite on my ass. They eat a lot of deserts here and I need to just stay away from them. They are good for my stomach anyway. So back to what the doctor, I went in and explained to her everything that is going on and she examined my stomach and immediately felt the problem. What is it? Well I am full of ****, LITERALLY ...

... enough of the same language to form a bond. Last time around my French wasn’t good enough to make great friends with others who didn’t have French or English as their native tongue, but now I am advanced enough to do it!

It gets better, I can drive the car now. After the horrible embarrassing stalling a million times in front of the store I go to everyday the store guy told me "doucement, doucement ...

Day three here is France and the first thing I have to say it Thank you to all of my friends and family who I love. You have all been reading my blog and commenting positively. All the way over here those comments mean everything to me. When I wake up in the morning and see that one of you read it and enjoyed what I had to tell it reminds me that though I am across the world you are all here celebrating these experiences with me. I just hope the enthusiasm ...

... he said. "They don't like black people there, either." Curious, I asked, "Do I count as black, in France?" He peered at me. "No." "Do Morroccans?" "A little bit," he said. "But we don't care, and we work harder than the rest of them." What a totally different way of seeing the world. It's amazing how the concept of "black people" has spread all over the world, yet means something totally different everywhere you can go. We passed ...
