patience is key

I saw a friend today that I haven't seen in a really long time. She was asking me about my trip and how I've been and we talked for a while and she seemed to really understand what I was talking about - which is seriously rare these days. She told me that it sounded like I was homesick from a place that isn't here. What a perfect way to describe how I feel. I am home sick. Uganda felt more like home than here does. I will go back there but I've realized it will take time and hard work and I have to be patient. I will make things happen for myself in a way that is realistic for me. Not in drastic, spur of the moment decisions. I need to be smart. It may be a year or two before I get back to Uganda but that's ok. I can do other things that make me happy in the meantime. A change is about to happen, it's only a matter of time.
