I am not sure why exactly, maybe because it is baseball season back home, maybe its cause I am listening to good music while plugging away at work, maybe its cause I am coming home for a week in 2 weeks, or maybe there is no particular reason behind it...
I am so lucky that my love for Ghana has not faded over time...in fact; it has done nothing but grow.
I have watched people struggle and fight for that love that they once had as they watch it slip through their fingers, I only hope that my fire that continues to grow can re-ignite the fires inside some of those people who are losing hope.
Ghana makes me a better person. I become more laid back and extraordinarily positive, and for any of you who know me...this is a pretty miraculous thing.
It doesn't take away my intensity and passion but it takes the edge off of that intensity...the part of my intensity that is my greatest weakness is reduced...it is just the positive side of my drive that shines through.
It is strange to me that I am a positive person here...at home I can get sucked into such a negative place and complain about everything but here I seem to rise above it all and give encouragement to those who are normally positive but can't seem to find their strength.
This is my favorite tree and bench in all of Ghana, it is perfect:
