Saying goodbye sucks!

More goodbyes to come...
but today had it all:

• teary eyes
• hug
• "we`ll stay in touch"
• thoughtful card
• wonderful gifts
• "best of luck"
• kisses
• nervous feeling in the belly
• laughter
• choking up
• warm fuzzy feelings

Thank you colleagues 

from building number one!

I will miss you!

Chocolate from a stranger, flowers from my love

Valentines day is not such a big deal...
that`s why we just heated up leftovers and went to the supermarket.
Valentines day is commercial...
that`s what some Flemish political party proved when they handed out chocolates at the train station.
Valentines day is about love...
that`s what I noticed when I came home.

Monday`s moments

This last Monday, was my last working Monday... The last, but not the least...
What I loved:

• having a different breakfast then on other mornings (because we didn`t go to the supermarket)
• taking a nice morningwalk from the train station to work and NOT slipping
• crossing a lot off of my to-do list
• feeling that I made a difference in a clients life
• seeing a client smile after a lot of sad words before
• having fantastic potato league soup for lunch (because we were out of bread and forgot to go buy some)
• receiving unexpected kisses from a work relation 
• being brought home after getting stuck on the train because of an accident (thank you Annemie!)
• coming home to a lovely man who had a lovely dinner ready
• taking a hot shower and getting into a warm bed

This monday deffinitely had it`s moments... I`ll miss mondays like this...

Dinner and a movie: the sequel

Sunday was Flemish movie night
= a big flemish movie,
+ "frikandellen met krieken"
+ a good "bierke"
+ some "carnavalsvlaaikes"
+ some good flemish company (the american fit right in)
= awsome!

Thank you moeke for the "frikandellen met krieken" en the taking care of the burned popcorn.
Thank you vake for fixing the DVDplayer so we could watch the movie and then to perform your magic again when the player decided to spit out the disc again.
Thank you Tim for the hugs and the occasional hand before my eyes.

Dinner and a movie

Doing some things that we will miss...

Like this:

cooking our own food

and when we are in the mood:

watching a movie on our tiny TV

with a nice cup of green tea!

A lot of "last somethings"

These days are full of "last somethings"

• last teammeeting
• last time opening a file
• last visit
• last time seeing you
• last of Tims early saturdagmornings
• last email
• last workdays
• last egg in the fridge...

Mixed feelings

Spending two full months (april and may) in a yoga and meditation retreat.

Without Tim... Just me, for me, with me, because of me... 

The idea:

terrifies me and excites me

makes me nervous and curious

makes me doubt (for even considering it) and proud (for even considering it)

makes me just want to stay in my comfortable little zone and makes me want to break out...
