Welcome, welcome, welcome!
Help yourselves!
While I was reading online yesterday, I overheard a conversaton outside my flat. I was aware of it, but not really listening. At some point, I realised that the people had walked away. A minute later, it dawned on me.
The entire conversation had been conducted in Spanish. I know it wasn’t Portuguese, because that has a different rhythm/cadence. I don’t know enough Spanish for any of it to have made sense to me, except for the asking/answering of questions, because that sounds the same in almost any language.
What made me happy was that, it didn’t occur to me that there was anything “different” or “foreign” about what I heard!! It just sounded like the neighbours having a conversation.
That gives me hope, somehow. I heard an entire conversation in another language, and my subconcious mind heard it as “normal.”
There are days when I really like my brain!!
All are welcome to join the fun, the silliness, the conversations. If you don’t know...just ask! Some things really do require a bit of explanation.
There will be a few surprises along the way, all good ones, we hope.
