To choose...

So mom had a mini epiphany today after meeting her mom friends at the park.
Sitting under trees tend to lead to those. (Not quite the bodhi tree in Bodhgaya, but it will suffice.)

The other moms were all asking about apu's new job and where we may be moving. Mom didn't really have an answer as to where...maybe Amsterdam (it's really kid friendly) or Nice (for the sun and history), or potentially staying put, right here in good ole Budapest. 

Who knew?! After almost three years, mom may CHOOSE to stay in the one place she's hated for so long. But that's the thing...what if she had chosen to be here the whole time? Even if it were the only option? 

Funny how when you pick something over something else, you feel in control and "happy" because it's a choice. YOUR CHOICE. Mom realized that if she had "picked" Budapest from the beginning, maybe things wouldn't have seemed so difficult. 

Funny how it takes some good friends and a sunny day to help you reflect. 

Moving away would be yet another adventure, but having really cool friends and some good laughs while dodging the dead birds on the street...that's priceless.
