The Hills are alive.....but there ain't no music!!!!

And so I'd say it has just begun but that would be a lie....it began a while ago...when the cold showed up. I began to hibernate....I am a sun person, a warm weathered person....this terrible thing called "cold" just doesn't mesh well with me. I am coping....but not very well.

Lately I have been thinking....while sitting in my icebox of an office, what it is that I am really doing with my life. I try so hard to think of the now, what am I doing today and how can I make it the best day....but I think we are all creatures who are programmed to want or need to be doing more. Are we happy with what today is...what we are doing in this moment. The answer for me is yes....today I am happy...but...!

That "but" is always thrown in there...lurking at the end of every sentence....."but" what about the future...what will I do when this year is over? and that thought is scary.

I miss my family, I miss my friends....but the thought of going back to life in Canada is also scary. A job where I work 9-5, maybe get 2 weeks vacation, feel the need to do well to move up the chain, then what????

I wish I could have this world that I have created for myself here in Korea but with my family nearby. I think then I would be happy, complete. But...haha there it is again.....it is not possible.

I have a lot of thinking to do....re-sign my contract and stay for another year...which I would love to do....NEED to do....or go back home and be lost and stressed out in the hoopla?? uggg....I swear sometimes our brains never shut off... :)

This Winter vacation I have taken an online teaching position...4 weeks....I am excited. Teaching from home will be tons of fun.....only have to look pretty from the shoulder up ....lol teaching in PJ's....what fun ( just kidding)

This winter vacation I am also puppy sitting for a couple who is going home for the holidays. This is a picture of Sadie.

She is adorable. We are going to have lots of fun.
