WISHES PLANS ARRANGEMENTS

Dear Susan,
It’s only two weeks since I moved to this city but I need some
more time to get adapted. I don’t have a close friend, yet. I
wish you were here. I’m afraid I need to make changes in my
lifestyle. I should learn to be patient with things and people.
The worst things are traffic and weather here. It’s terrible
when I get stuck in traffic in rush hours. At those times, I say,
I wish I could fly. It’s often rainy here. If only it didn’t rain this
often. It’s better than lack of rain, though. I do not go out in
the evening. I do housework, read books and watch the news
or movies. Unfortunately, sad items of news are more than
good ones these days. There is a lot of violence all around the
world. Like anyone who has common sense, I wish all wars
came to an end. I’m optimistic, though. Things will get better.
As the saying by Leo Tolstoy goes, ‘‘The two most powerful
warriors are patience and time’’, I have to show endurance.
I must be part of this city and a new lifestyle for a better career. I wish hard times passed quickly and I lived
together with my beloved ones in my hometown again.
I’ll write again soon. I feel lucky to have you as my best friend.
Hugs,
Mary.
