Sitting here thinking about how crazy life can be. Not a very life-changing statement for sure, but one that is certainly moving my life in the direction that it is going. Because, as all us good Southern Baptists know, if you want to hear God laugh, tell Him your plans.
My life has led me in many directions these past 5 years. To Okinawa, Japan...to mainland Japan (which...GOD help me)..and who knows where next. One thing is constant. My love for my husband, my daughter, my family. I found, in all my study, that there's a reason there is even a phrase for it in the most dead of all languages..Latin. Amor Vincit Omnia (and not the crazy painting with a half cupid and a broken violin on the floor, nor the painting by Michaelangelo...so maybe Omnia Vincit Amor for those of you with a passion for the Spanish lean to the word). Love Conquers All.
Here's to a year of new beginnings, new homes, new places to explore..and a world where truly love does conquer all obstacles. Blessings to you and yours!

Found you through The Mom Blogs and wanted to say hello. Happy New Year to you and I hope your adjustment to mainland Japan is getting better.
Also found you at Mom Blogs - and happy new year... how's the change in venue treating you? I'm from South Africa. Not that it matters... the world is so small now that I could be right next door... except I don't speak Japanese, or Italian... for that matter, however I can swear at you in Portuguese if you gave me a bit of time to recall it. I'd love to read more of your blog, so you'll have to dust it off.
