Happy February!!
WOOO I am so excited that January is over. There is something so fun and almost cleansing (nerd alert) about starting a new month. Namaste.
Okay back to the real stuff. Now this is about to get deep. Nearly four weeks in, I've realized my favorite London moments occur when I least expect them. The organized trips and sightseeing have all been amazing, but it's when you're simply wandering by yourself that you can truly bask in awe of this magnificent city. For this reason, I've become quite fond of my walks to work on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. At 8:45 am, London is gorgeous. From a birds-eye view, it's chaotic-- people hustle and bustle as they dash to work. However, when you're actually one of those businesspeople running around, it's actually quite peaceful. Everything around you is spinning, but you feel calm as you rhythmically move around people, almost as if you were in a dance. Thursday's walk was especially breathtaking, as I finally saw some sunshine! As I walked towards Westminster Bridge, I was floored by how beautiful the landscape was. All I could do was stop, stare and pray. I was overwhelmed with gratitude for the amazing opportunity I have been given. I was in shock of the beautiful city I now call my home, and the amazing job I was walking to that very instant. It was all quite surreal.

| Just a glimpse of my home, and believe me, this picture fails miserably to portray the real scene justly. Portcullis House (farthest right building) is where I enter work every day. Many MPs have offices in Portcullis, but Andrew works in Normanshaw North, an older building a quick walk away. |
And that's why those 20 minutes every Tuesday and Thursday morning have become my favorite times here in London:)
Cheers,

PS I CAN COOK NOW! Well not really, but I'm certainly getting there. Last night I seasoned and cooked chicken and peppers to make a delicious semi-fajita/semi-quesadilla thingy. Maybe there is hope for me after all.
