By going to Vietnam I was going to a part of the world that was totally unfamiliar to me and I have to admit that I was anxious.
Not being able to read anything and as a result not being able to figure things out scared me.
I had thoughts about getting stuck and felt vulnerable.
I am back from Vietnam and what an experience it was!
Life in Vietnam is outrageous and we certainly got the culture shock we were asking for.
To act effectively in that unfamiliar culture and to survive I had to take a good look at my own strengths and weaknesses.
Today I am pondering.
When you are reading this post I will be on holiday in Vietnam with my youngest daughter, celebrating her 22nd birthday.
And as I am not on holiday yet, today while writing this, I am in the middle of working hard to get it all together before going.
But I am not stressed and pining for the holiday to come quickly, like I used to.
And it is this notion of no longer pining for a holiday anymore that caused me to ponder in case you were asking.
I still like to go away of course but I don’t have that frantic need anymore.
In my long gone past I wanted freedom!
