After 11 days in the US, I have a few observations. Bizarrely, this year is not over yet. I have a chance to reflect on 11 months outside my very own comfort zone now that I am currently wrapping myself firmly in my previously-created, very-little-new cozy spaces. In fact, I feel like I cannot crawl inside them deeply enough. I think comfort is a key theme here for me. It´s like wanting to get in and out of a hot tub. It is cold. You don´t want to do it. But you have to and you readjust to other temperatures. Once you do, you are glad you did at the right time.
