Things change!!

Things change! And most of the time, there is nothing you can do about it. Yes change indeed is inevitable.

I never in my life thought that I would one day live without a mother, MY own mother who I loved so dearly. I always thought she would be with me, that we would stay together and that she would be seated on the church pew, smiling at me while I am being walked on the isle to my groom.
Yes, you guessed right...She is no longer around, she was called back to the Father. Yet again, even when she left, I never imagined that I could be far from my family (in Zambia). I mean, these are the only people I knew for heaven's sake!

Yes you guessed right, I am no longer in Zambia. I am now living in Senegal, far from the only family I knew. Can I say, like our dear Job from the Bible stories, that "the thing I feared has now fallen on me"?...NO! I will not dare say that. You know why? Because I have learned that no matter who you are, no matter where you are, something, yes a little something will happen. It is called CHANGE!

That is exactly what happened to me: CHANGE! I had to face it, I had to live with it, there was no 2 ways about it. Everything changed: eating habits, dressing, language, sleeping habits, the weather, the list is endless...But somehow, something managed to stay intact: ME! Yes the environment had changed, but I was still the lady I was. I was still the courageous, God fearing lady I was. I could not allow this CHANGE to affect who I was deep within. Then all of a sudden, I began to integrate, I began to adapt. I began to understand that everything happens for a reason. Then the greatest miracle happened to me ; I finally ACCEPTED Change!.....the story is yet to end (watch this space)
