Look who is back!

I haven’t written in a while because I have been entirely too busy soaking up life back at home.

I have spent the month showing my family and friends some overdue love- enjoying long visits, longer hugs, baby snuggles, life catch up sessions, girls talk, movie nights, sushi dinners, dinners in, hikes, dance parties, long walks and the simple pleasure of proximity.

I have been capitalizing  on the simple pleasures I missed, namely;  favourite foods, baking and cooking, communal living with lovely roommates, regular exercise, fresh air, cool jogs, the start of Christmas season and the freedom of driving… among so many other things.

I may have not survived 6 months in India gracefully but I am managing the transition HOME like a champ!

It is like I never left.

Though I recognize many things are different; South Korean horse riding moves have become popular, friendly faces in the office remain friendly but may not be familiar, my “niece” and “nephew” are walking and talking, my brothers are approaching “too cool” and my pant size as decreased dramatically…

…many things are the same…. my friends are cooler than ever, my family remains  my rock, my dog’s bum still wiggles out of control when he sees me, my bed is still as comfy as ever, I still share a love/hate relationship with my job and Toronto is still the neatest place to live.

There is NO place like home!
