NOVEMBER 2011 - I am slowly settling in Denver with my son and his family. The transition back to the States is not as bad as most volunteers experience. I realize from the start that I would not have a hard time, living as long as I have and experiencing a variety of life transitions, this one would be a piece of cake.
JANUARY 2012 - I was wrong. These past couple of months were interesting. After spending the first month visiting with friends in California, I returned to Denver to start my life as a grandmother. I discovered that my life in Belize was very much connected to the people and the country. Fortunately, in this new world of electronics, I continued to keep my friendships with them.
My motivation and energy are at the lowest. I still struggle to fit into my new life in the suburbs and living the American life. I credit these feelings to the winter months of SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder). It's taken me all this time to finish my blog, but with the new year I look forward to documenting my experience with a photo book to show my friends and family. If anyone is interested in seeing my book, please contact me.
I want to thank all who have read my blog and followed my two years in Belize - there is so much more to write and document but that will be for another time.
