LIVEALITTLE

Although a weekend in Hershey Park, Pennsylvania wasn't quite the ideal follow-up to Haiti I wanted, I surprised even myself with the ease in which I readjusted to the fast food, stuff-your-face American life... or maybe its this new appreciation for my loving, accepting family.
I've always been a do-whatever-I-want-whenever-I-want new-aged-woman. I flitted in and out of the house whenever I pleased without real commitments to anything in particular. When I quit my corporate job and flew to Australia to be a nurse 5 years ago, I insensitively dumped all my stuff in my mom's garage and in my brother's basement with the intention to never return. When I prematurely returned in August 2009 (I changed my mind), my family (with a new addition!) welcomed me back with wide-open arms into their home and since have only made me 100% inclusive of their doings and been 1000% supportive of me in my 8 month unemployment slump and other antics (including the compost bin). I am truly fortunate to have such a wonderful, perfect family. I just hope that I will be able reciprocate all the kindness they have (and continue) to bestow upon me.
