Arriving in Buenos Aires

As we arrived in Buenos Aires after a three day travel that consisted on four airports, three long flights and an over night stay in a hotel reminded me that Change is a constant but not only is constant but it’s also scary too. it’s trading the known for the unknown. It’s leaving something behind without knowing of what lies ahead. It’s wondering “Will I like it as much?” “Will it ever be as good as it was?” “What if it’s not?…What then?” I remember vividly feeling this way four years ago when we moved from the Dominican Republic to the Philippines and now we know it was an awesome place to live because of its people. But what about now? 

Thoughts of the unknown drive feelings of fear and uncertainty. But this time is different because for Daniel this time around is very familiar to him. He has been here before, he speaks their language and by that I mean he speaks their cute accent so I know that as much as we loved life before I know it is only going to keep getting better.” “I am so excited for this change! What a great adventure this is going to be.” “It’s so awesome to know that the best is yet to come!”  Buenos Aires is a marvel of a City! It’s so beautiful and I think I am going to like it! 

I keep telling myself that our thoughts control our feelings, therefore if we allow ourselves to think of change as a hard thing then it will be just that. However, if we decide that change is something exciting and fabulous we will feel completely different about it – we will embrace change and be excited for it because we know that with each change that happens it is taking us somewhere better!

I heard this statement the other day when someone was referring to change: “Think of it like a road trip where you are guaranteed that each new exit along the highway will take you to a place more beautiful than the last. Each new exit will introduce you to more and more fabulous people that will further enrich and bless your life. Each new exit you explore will teach you more than the last one did. Each new exit you visit will give you more experience and wisdom than you ever had before. With every new exit, you are guaranteed the opportunity to become a better person. That highway is our life…and change is nothing more than arriving at the next exit with its great big sign that says: “It only gets better from here”   

So, what is going to be our game plan this time around? Get out there and enjoy what this part of the word has to offer of course. It will only get better from here!
