Today marks the 6 month anniversary since I've been here in this city - Rouen.
While there's a soft and subtle ache in my heart from the distance between what used to be most comfortable to me and now, I continue to BE here.
I picked up a paintbrush to paint for my friends.
I rowed in my first french regatta.
I brought my neighbor tea and she extended an art invitation to me.
We ate rabbit for the first time and I was in the kitchen with the cook learning the craft.
We pulled thyme and bay leaves from the garden.
We took a walk with some passionate people who really know and love the history of this city and found out our flat is in the exact center of Rouen.
We ate Thai food with French people.
I visited a French hospital with a friend and she showed me all around the imaging centers where she works.
and I try to be kind each day.
Because of you.
Because you make me want to be a better girl.
Because I want to be good like my friends.
Because I admire you and cherish our friendship,
I am brave.
Love you,
Ruth
