I tried a different route to work today just for the variety. I met Galina at the bus stop and we had a very fun try at communicating since she doesn't know English and I don' know much Russian. But I understood that we both were headed for work. She asked after my family and I learned she has a daughter and a couple of grandkids. She was able to hang on to me during the commute on the metro since she wasn't able to reach anything to hold on to. I was glad I could help. We parted ways and I continued my journey. As I arrived out of the metro station wondering where to catch the marshrouteka I needed - it pulled up right where I was standing. The same did not happen on the trip back. I waved to get the marshrouteka driver's attention but he drove on. So I caught a different one and sat next to a student from KCA. It was nice to learn a bit about him as we traveled and I got to share a few stories as well. So, in reality it was a pleasant journey there and back.
5 things I am thankful for....
- I am mechanically gifted because I am able to repair the jams in the copy machine. (Today I didn't even get my coat off before I was called to HELP!)
- A hot lunch - Plov and salat
- A new blouse from a friend (Thanks, Kay)
- Popcorn - great snack food!
- God is my refuge and strength
Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; but we will remember the name of the Lord our God. —Psalm 20:7
Blessings!
