Only a little over week left in the States! The goodbyes have started -I have so many wonderful people in my life and it is challenging to give them all the time that they deserve. I'm celebrating all of the things I've gotten checked off the To-Do List too: packing my room up, feeding 40 people on a camping trip, enjoying/surviving the transition of new housemates, paperwork completed, fees paid... There's still more to do -but the majority of things ARE DONE. And I am celebrating that with deep breaths and by savoring some of the last moments of beautiful people in beautiful Bellingham.
And Bellingham is definitely doing her best to woe me, serenading my last weekend here with sunshine, clear lakes, and green grass. She's delivering some good memories, alrighty. And I'm thankful that I'll have these to tide me over in Bolivia.
I feel more centered, grounded, relaxed this week. More certain that I am headed in the right direction, that the people left here are going to be just fine, that I am going to be fine. And with that grounded-ness, has come the excitement, seeping into the cracks where nervousness and stress were before. And I fully expect them to come back, rearing their ugly heads -but I think the peace is here to stay too.
PS The song, "Peace" by Sherri Youngward is genius -check it out!
