The end of an era

As I got on the train yesterday afternoon, I soon realized that this wasn't just another train ride for me...

During the past 10 1/2 years that I've lived in Arnhem I often got on the train to go places, always returning (at some point in time) to Arnhem...a place that has become my home.

Now things are different.
This time I left behind two empty rooms.
I said goodbye to friends.
And I no longer have a house key.
This chapter of my life has come to an end.

It's strange not to have a place of my own.
It's hard to say bye to family & friends.
And it's a bit scary to go out into the unknown.

But...it is also exciting to move on and start the next chapter of my life.
A chapter in which I will find a new place to call home.
I will meet people who will become my friends.
And I will be able to do that which I believe I was called to do.

What makes my day?

...a smile/laugh from my niece.

Actually, just spending time with Zoey makes my day.
She's such a beautiful baby and I am very proud to be her aunt.
I love you Zoey!

First message...

...from my blogspot.

I thought it was about time to come up with a website of my own.
That way I can keep you updated on all of my upcoming adventures!
My latest news, photos, thoughts and who knows what else.
Hopefully I'll be able to access my blog in Africa!

Keep an eye out for new posts!
