Dear Senegal

Happy Thursday Y'all

Today, I am joining Kristin for her monthly Little Letters link-up, where we write "letters," as a way of sharing a bit of our lives at the moment.  

And today, it's all centered around one main topic. 


 


Dear Senegal,

Today, you celebrate Independence Day.

Thank you for providing a home for me all these years.

Thanks for being the country I fell in love with back in July 2009.

Thanks for all the happy memories with friends and co-workers and students, with your generously hospitable countrymen/women, with random shop owners and fruit vendors, and anyone else I meet.

Thanks for having delicious food and beautiful colors all around.

Thanks for being a relatively safe place to live.

Thanks for not being closed to the work that my friends and co-workers are here to do. Thanks for being willing to hear what we're here to say. Thanks for being open to learning something different from what you've always known.

I love you, Senegal.



Thanks for being YOU!

Sincerely,
Me
