Throw Back Thursday!
To use a local Texas phrase... this is not my first rodeo. I have attempted blogging at various times over the last decade, and I've found it a fun and diverting pastime. But one of the best things about it, is that it is like a diary. It captures a moment in your life and records it for posterity. So it was interesting for me to read a blog entry I wrote almost exactly 7 years ago exactly when I was initially settling into life in Houston. Oh, how things have changed since! The overall tone is somewhat negative, and it's far from how I perceive living in Texas now. I guess I have ironed out a lot of of those niggles I experienced as a newbie! One thing it's made me realize (although I guess it's no surprise) is that moving to a new country is tough initially. I'm going to have to steel myself to a rough few months ahead in the knowledge that it will get better eventually. Anyway, I thought I would share it for s***s and giggles!
