So today I realized a good number of really good things. That was my goal, as I rode home from my soccer training. I was thinking about all the good things that have happened to me and all the good things I have that I’ve realized since I’ve came to Germany. It basically all started because I was enjoying the feeling after a good hard training session and then I started to realize how much more active and healthy my life style is here and then well it was an avalanche of gratitude. I realized that I have such awesome people that surround me not only here now, but back home too. Especially right now for those friends here in Germany because they have to put up with me..my bad german..and my moody homesickness. I know sometimes I complain about things sucking here to you guys (and you know who I’m talking to :] ), but I really appreciate everything you’ve done for me and that you will do. It’s difficult to put up with me in America, just ask my dad, but here it’s double sometimes…and I thank you for putting up with me and arguing with me about all I have here and what I will miss. I need that and you fall no where short of doing that and I don’t think I could ever thank you guys enough for taking me in. I can’t thank any of you guys here in Grmany enough for the days you spend hanging out with me and I’ll get specific here: Jenni, Johanna, Clara, Justin and Thorben (there are more I know don’t get mad…please?) I am soooooo soooo sooooooooooooooooo thankful for all my friends here in Germany. You can imagine I’m sure how much if you just think of being surrounded by a foriegn language in a new school where you know no one. You appreciate your friends a lot more after that. It goes for my friends back home as well….I know ( or at least you say) that you guys miss me a lot and that means so much to me. I can’t begin to express how much you guys truly mean to me and how much I truly miss you guys. Of course I’m also grateful for my family…my dad and sister have done a lot for me and specifically to get me here (lets not forget Grandpa either) and I thank you guys a million times over. I seriously do love and miss you guys and can’t wait to see you all again, but have you know I’ll miss Germany a whole lot too..so get ready for the reverse homesickness that will come!
Of course there was tons more of the little things that came to mind, but that would make this a überly long blog and well for now I like to keep them short and sweet, and so I will do that. Although first we arrive at what I titled my blog entry for today. After all this thinking on my way home I realized that no longer do I think my best while in the shower, like most do, but now while I’m riding my 3 km to and from school and soccer training…not only does the bike ride get the blood flowing and the muscles working..I guess it realy stimulates the good ole brain too…I like the bike ride..it’s relaxing…soo…where do you think the best?

Kurt you really do put yourself through too many whirlwinds of emotions, lol. I’m glad to hear this positive attitude and I hope it stays this way. Whenever your feeling down just remember that bike ride, okay? =]
