"The Returnee..."

We are in the middle of a roller coaster of transition. We left Uganda on 1st July, and travelled to visit Dan's family in America... Now we arrive in England, where I have not lived since 1992, almost twenty years ago... I left young free and single, and return with an American husband and two children, aged 11 and 9... I hope to describe the experiences of "the Returnee", with, no doubt, flashbacks to our African life, and commentary from my children along the way...

New Years Resolutions

Not being in the habit of making New Years Resolutions, this year I will declare some here, - in the hope that I will then feel honour-bound at least to try...

In no particular order:

1. Putting the past behind, pursue what lies ahead

2. Fight for joy and peace

3. Laugh more

4. Keep writing my gratitude list

5. Brush Frodo more often

6. Pray more

7. Take up Tae Bo again

8. Eat less carbohydrates

9. Learn more about justice

10. Plan to see friends more often

11. Get back to painting

14. Remember to "let go and let God"

15. Lose weight so I can get back into my old trousers!

16. Make Alex wash more
