Challenged

I began writing in portuguese, because, of course, is easier for me, but today, by suggestion of a friend of mine, Tuxinha, and because I have friends who won't understand portuguese, I decided to write for everyone.
So I apologize for my bumping english...

I explained before, that I took a major decision earlier this year... It wasn't an easy one, but I felt from the back of my soul that I should do something before turn 38.
I needed to get out of my comfort zone.

This blog is to help me, hoping also that can help someone.

I'm not perfect, I'm just trying always to become better, growing up as human being.

But I has not said where I started this path that I just began...

I came to Ocean Beach/Point Loma, in San Diego, California :)

It is an amazing place to be, for sure!

Have amazing sunsets... I am absolute in love for it!!!

Don't you think that is been easy, and I feel happy all the time... I feel blessed, it's true, because I realize learning I set out, but it's scary, and sometimes I think... "I'm crazy, what have I done?, What I'm doing?"
But now I just have to keep going, persisting, having Faith, being resilient... Understanding what will be my next step... Would I stay here, go back to Europe? I still haven't decided.

I've been really blessed by the fantastic people I have known since I arrived... Carolyn, Carol, Celina, Erica, Mary, Margie, Denver, Julius... Carol knew me only a week ago when she decided to lend me her car while she went to Costa Rica spend a week with her daughter!!!! And I have to thank to portuguese community... And the most beautiful sunsets I ever seen.

People are really friendly, easygoing, laid back... And that's really good...
We have everything here, freaks, drugs... Pot is legal around here... I don't smoke, so...
Yesterdsay we saw really weird people... meths... Sad...
But we also have a great healthy way to live, organic food, sports... Great weather...

When we are far away from home, and I did it big, we realized small things.
I knew I have really good friends, people who cares about me... My sister and brother in law... The love I feel about my son...

I arrived with many dreams, expecting to find a fast job and a place to stay... 

I really risk everything... 

Almost 1 month later I have to be realistic, and rational... Maybe is not the right place for me... just because is not Europe! 

I love Portugal, and makes me sad that the conditions are so poor... 

My last job, not related with my studies, of course, I was earning 2,50€/hour!!!! How can someone alone, with a son could possible live with that????

I have already some crazy episodes... I'll write about them ;)

"Is not a failure, is progressing", a new friend of mine told me! 

 I met a punch of great people around here, some of them with same expectations and purposes. 

Sorry, my friends about my english... feel free to correct me ;)

I'll write about this decision, and the adventures I'd live already, but also, I'll write about subjects more sensitives... At time. 

This quote bumped me, at my first day in OB (Ocean Beach)

I could easily be happy in OB :)

This where I like to have my coffee, great one, by the way, and where I write and apply to jobs...

Hugs to everyone
