Driver

Today we had to let our driver go. It is a rather sad day, as he was with us for a good four months, but due to his personal problems, he driving had become so rash, that there was little choice. Just in the two weeks since Kaia and I returned, he got in a small collision, almost seriously hit 4-5 people, and with each day became more and more angry behind the wheel.

However, a stroke of fortune has allowed us to find another driver right away. His name is Sekar and, for the past 4 years, has been working for an expat family who recently moved back to Ireland. They posted his information on a local list that I’m on and with the glowing recommendation that they gave him, it should be a great improvement for us. This new driver is fluent in English and knows the city really well, two things that the former driver was not….

Why I Love this Time: The consistent challenge of being appreciative and mindful…
