nun bet

Today I went back and read some posts from the beginning of this blog - way back on October 2004! I remember typing those words, but it feels odd and different - it’s as if I remember watching someone type those stories but that I didn’t actually DO it myself.

I thought about commenting on the blog to my past self. What would I say? Should I say anything?

The comments that popped to mind were things like, “Take a chance!”, “Be brave and try, try, try to make friends.” and “It’s ok to speak English.” - The part I liked BEST about these thoughts was the kind, gentle, loving way I “spoke” to myself. My inner voice was warm and understanding - but encouraging like a mother bird getting her little ones out of the nest.

Wow!
