I think snow is beautiful and I can enjoy it when I know I get to stay inside. The windows in the apartment's sitting room look out over a little forest area. It was really soothing to see just trees and snow falling on the branches.

No airports were closed because of this snow. I didn't need to trudge through the snow to get to a bus stop to wait. These are benefits of being in Pennsylvania rather than London. I'm trying to remember to look for the good points, rather than just notice the differences.
I found a little International grocery specializing in Asian foods and breathed a sigh of relief. I had been to this one before, and after a few wrong roads, Mom and I rediscovered it. The man who runs the stop is Tamil, and he seems really sweet. I think we'll be seeing a lot of each other. It's nice to know that I can find my aloo paratha and paneer without going too far from home!
I've also found more vegetarian options in the main grocery stores, with a greater variety than were available three years ago. A company called Dominex makes a very tasty eggplant burger and another company called Morning Star makes a variety of meat-free products. I bought some of their meat-free sausage links to try.
It feels strange to be back in Pennsylvania, but I'm trying to remember to give myself time to acclimate. It helps that there is an electric kettle here at the flat, so all my tea needs are being met! :) Today, I drove the car on my own, which felt so strange after only ever being a passenger in London!
In the three years I was in London, I did return to the USA several times. Because of that, I didn't expect to notice so many changes when I moved home. I think that's why I feel a bit disoriented this time. Life here has changed, but I have changed as well.
