This year has been a great year for me! In a sense looking back on it. I think it might be one of the best years of my life! I graduated college with my best friends! After graduation me and one of my best friends got a chance to travel to Germany and Switzerland. There I had the opportunity and pleasure meeting a friend of mine EVA. Little did I know that years later she would be studying in America and of all places close to my home in Maryland. Yesterday, we had the chance to catch up over coffee at starbuck's it was funny to see her in my home country but was blessing to me and testament that you never know in life the people you meet when your paths will cross. I've also had the blessings to travel to Ethiopia, Tanzania, Greece, Turkey, and recently South Korea!
I am thankful for this year the ups and downs, trials and tribulations! I met such quality people when I was away from home. It changed me in a way that I never imagined! As I cried tears of joy (yes I cried whatever) on my last day of teaching @ Taebong Elementary. I think it was all the emotions I had from the year and what was about to change. Leaving all my good friends behind not knowing when will ever meet again (this crazy world you here one day and gone the next) the relationship I had with my co teachers, students, the people in my town the treated me so well! The MOST INFLUENTIAL people in my life Passing away, missing my close friends Graduations, missing weddings, birthday party, gatherings and etc! They were tears of joy, sadness and every other emotion I could think of! The feeling was surreal! That jered lyons. Normal jered lyons that loves the company of people,laughter,sports, and good food! From Maryland could touch and be touched with lives from all over the globe!!!! Truly a blessing as I'm riding down to my cousins house for this feast!
Its more than the food! Its about remembering, praising, and being thankful. With that said if you have the opportunity to travel! Do it! You will regret it for the rest of your life! Get outside of your comfort zone and share with others you beliefs, traditions, and culture! With that said I'm thankful I'm thankful! I don't know what the future has in store. However I know that all along the way I'll always stop and give thanks!
LG- lifes good
Yours truly
