In my challenge to assimilate to my new life in London, I've heard several times from several people that I need to let go of my life in the San Francisco Bay Area and fully embrace the one here. I am definitely a creature of habit who is drawn to comfort and stability so this concept is really difficult for me. Perhaps it is time though, time to stop acting and feeling as though I'm just here for a visit. This is where I live now and this is home now. I think I'm just afraid that fully embracing life here means letting go of everything there but it doesn't have to be all or nothing. I can have my life here and still hold on to the things and the people who are really important to me. Hopefully they hold on to me too. I just need to shift my frame of reference a bit is all.
Perhaps this post was a bit too reflective but I've just had to much on my mind lately and it's good to get things out there.
Well then, I'm off on my first European business trip today. I'm headed to Munich for 3 days because I hear the rain in Munich is better than the rain in London. At the very least I'll get to have some good beer.

HOLD ON :-)
you can have both the GG and LB bridges :)
You can absolutely have both, but you need to embrace London as much as the Bay Area. Just loosen your grip on SF long enough for England to sneak into your hug :-)
