For those returning home.....

For those preparing to leave their current expat position and head home, be mindful that there will be a time that you feel special, catching up with family and friends and being that social butterfly that you love being. However, after the newness wears off and the real life sets in, you go through the 'special person blues' (that's what I named it) and realise that everyone got along just perfectly without you and life went on. I've read this article and couldn't have put it better myself:
