Hello

I am very new to "blogging".....so please bear with me.  I am certainly not a writer and have no intentions of becoming one.  Why "On two chairs" you might ask?  Well, I have left my homeland which I love but could not see a good future for my two beautiful children growing up in due to a lot of not only safety but also health and opportunity issues.  It was a difficult decision and even before I left I had lots of doubts.  Leaving a good paying job, a beautiful home, friends and family seemed to be the most difficult thing to do. IT WAS!  Being away for almost two years now, there is a lot of regrets, but being the practical woman I am it all seems selfish.  So as you can see I am literally sitting on two chairs.  Was the move worth the while?  I really don't know......  I made a lot of friends,  I had a lot of time going to cafes, be at school functions and most of all, watching all the TV I possibly could, BUT unfortunately, it does not bring the "bacon" home.  So after a year at home, I have decided to do something with my life and went studying.  I decided to take a "shortcut" and do something totally new to me but was told by so many people that I will be good at.  After a few months, I have my doubts about that...  But can I give up?  No way and this is where I hope this blog will help me....it is like keeping a journal for everyone to read and understand the same kind of frustrations......

We stay in a beautiful country, next to a Lake,  anybody's dream...but life anywhere on earth is not perfect!

Are my children happy?  Yes, I think so.  They are doing extremely well at school and on the sports field.  They made a lot of friends and have their futures planned.  They are not talking about going back "home".  They refer to the new country as home!

What does the future hold?  I will have to wait and see or maybe work hard at it and see....
