27 years...

It just occurred to me that I have been in this country for exactly 27 years!!  I came to Chicago 27 years ago today, 9/19/1988 -- still remember the chilly air hitting me when I first came out of O'Hare airport... It was the first wake-up call for me in the foreign land.

Wow, 27 long years -- much longer than the time I ever spent in China.  So many ups and downs and memories in this piece of land that no longer seems so foreign to me...  Regardless of all the craziness and shortfalls, I am convinced that we've created a much better life for Michelle -- for her to live freely, happily, and do what she absolutely loves to do!

As for me, too much is going through my head right now, don't even know where to start.  So, please allow me to quote a few lines for myself to live by for the next 27 years -:))

--  Life is too short to be small.

--  Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.

--  Anyone who live within their means suffers from a lack of imagination.
