When A Place Changes You
In our lives we have had the irreplaceable opportunity of visiting and living in different places all over the world. There is something that occurs after you have lived in a new place for a while. You wake up one morning and realize, wow its really happened. It's when a place has become your home and it is now a part of you. It has changed a part of who you are. Bosnia has been our home now for six months and we find ourselves changing, or as we like to put it, growing.
You Know Bosnia is changing you when:
-You find yourself wanting bread in some form for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.-You cross a busy street just so you can walk on the side of the road that has sunshine.
-You hear lots of cars honking and turn with glee to see how they decorated the wedding party cars.
- No matter how tiny a cup of coffee is that you ordered, you learn to make it last for at least an hour.
-You never leave the house with wet hair, and be sure to have at least a plastic bag with you at all times, just in case it rains.
-You are a strong believer that a good scarf around your neck can make a world of difference on a cold day. Let's face it, in Texas, they're just fashion statements.
-When you fall ill, you look first for the honey and tea instead of cough syrup. Honey can cure almost anything.
-There are no bare feet in your house, you always wear socks or slippers; or even better, both.
-Walking anywhere under about 2 miles is much preferable to driving. Pedestrians and parking are always a challenge, not to mention the random radar control and subsequent speeding tickets in the mail.
Even the size of our family is changing/growing. And no, it's not because of the delicious ice cream we have here this time of year. Well... never mind. Anyway, we cannot wait for the arrival of our little boy in June.
