Something About Me
- Jenn in Holland
- The story begins like this: A couple of years ago my husband got a crazy notion in his head that returning to school after years in the professional world might be a good idea. So he and I along with our three children left our suburban life in the U.S. and traded it for a new adventure in The Netherlands.
The saga continues like this: A year of post graduate study was so much fun, we figured we'd stay a while longer. Working in a new field, attending new schools and living in a new city, I dare say we have settled into a rhythm in our expat lives.
This blog is the record I keep of our experiences here; good, bad and hilarious. Intended as an outlet for my expression, this is the place for me to say my something.
I welcome you warmly.

ReplyDeleteHH The Dalai Lama is a very wise man and you have chosen your quotation well. I wish I had 1% of his wisdom and compassion (I'm working on it).
ReplyDeleteHe also said this...
A PRECIOUS HUMAN LIFE
"Every day, think as you wake up, today i am fortunate to have woken up,I am alive, I have a precious human life,I am not going to waste it.I am going to use all my energies to develop myself.To expand my heart out to others:to achieve enlightenment forthe benefit of all beings.I am going to have a kindthoughts towards others.I am not going to get angry,or think badly about others.
