Anniversary:
Today is the first anniversary of our move to Canada. What a tremendous and pleasurable year! A year of discovery, and incredible new friendships. I have resumed my degree, and find myself staring down the barrel of more social and personal activities that I can possibly undertake. My life has made transition from the sense of ‘limbo’ to which I succcumbed during the previous few years.
Immigrating is a funny thing. Moving around as much as I have, I haven’t felt myself as having a clear national identity for a while now. So it was interesting when I stumbled in a conversation a few weeks ago: I had begun to describe myself as a Canadian, but then stopped short thinking that I have a South African passport at the moment.
If home is where the heart is, then I have have a new home. Thank you Canada!
