Go with the flow

How is it possible that after 2 years in Quito, I am still learning cultural lessons? I guess I am a slow-learner. Three weeks ago when the beginning of the end of my time started, I sat down and made a detailed schedule of my remaining time. The factor I didn’t include is other people and the fact that they wouldn’t check in with my schedule! I suppose the schedule helped a bit, but the times I have held to it too tightly have resulted in much frustration. Since then, I have adopted the “go with the flow” strategy. It has served me very well.

More to come from the final week in the next post …

Accepting (even enjoying?) the fact that we will always need to keep learning will serve you well in life Praying for you especially over these last few days before getting back on the plane.
