It has been a very long time since I wrote…too busy? Yes and no. Perhaps busy with sorting out of ideas regarding life and in particularly life in Lebanon. We hardly get the time to get over one explosion or another one pops up; and as to make things worse, we now had two earthquakes in one week, very well felt…especially the one of today.

We started fasting, way too early, just after Christmas, and in some countries the Orthodoxe and Western fasting doesn’t fall together, which means 2 good Fridays and 2 Easters: poor Jesus :(

Ayadina is doing great, in fact we have a conference tomorrow about drugs, given by the NGO Skoun. This conference was meant to be on Jan 19, but again the unstable situation of Lebanon, obliged us to postpone it. Let’s hope that parents will come tomorrow.

I also underwent a minor surgery at my left shoulder. This made me feel -however for a short period- , what it means to be dependent on others for primary needs. I do have many friends who are physically disabled, but experiencing something myself is totally different. It teaches me a lot..not at least humility.
