Suze,
You'd better smell better!
Since few folks actually move to other countries and live for a year or seven there, I can give you some good advice. Give it six months to feel a bit better about the differences, and a year to feel at home. But home is always home. For us both here, growing up in different parts of the world and country every few years as kids, and then doing another 27 years of it as active duty ourselves, we have been down the "improvise, adapt, and overcome" road a lot.
Hey your posts are one of my first reads too, thanks kiddo!
Mags thanks, we DO know. But it's so nice to share that it isn't the pink cloud all the time. White clouds and rain clouds are good too. (unless you're in Southern California now)
