Well, I have been at my new job for about a month now. It has been stressful as things are quite different and there is so much new information to digest and assimilate. However, everyone is very helpful and supportive and I'm sure I will learn everything in time.
The huge move has been more difficult then I imagined. I do miss all my friends, family, and social networks. I have missed my sister's wedding and my parent's 55th wedding anniversary. I am fortunate to have a very supportive boyfriend and I am loving life with him. We are both growing to know each other every day and how to negotiate and compromise, now that it is the two of us.
I love Australia with its beautiful shorelines, wide, expansive spaces and untamed wilderness. There is a lot of amazing wildlife, including turtles and plenty of different kinds of birds. I have taken up a new lifestyle, cycling my way to better health and may perhaps, join the Townsville to Cairns bike ride next year (about 400kms). The people too, are so friendly, kind, and helpful. It is a place where neighbors talk over the new fence they are building and invite you over for a "barbie" (BBQ). It is a multicultural place where one has to learn a myriad of dialects and colloquialisms.
Let the adventure continue!
