Well, nothing new on the Peace Corps side...but it's nice to report that the house closing is still on track. With the garage sale now out of the way, it's on to the final clean-up of the garage...argh! But Mr. B wants everything out of the garage by Tuesday...ok...doing my best here. I'm thinking this will be a tough week...I actually never thought this week would get here...All my dreams are just beginning. But I've met some new friends since I've been back...and I'm going to miss them very much. I'll miss everyone for sure but it's harder to meet new friends knowing you won't be around for long...especially when you get along so well with them...and you wish you had met them some time ago...life would have been a little happier. Nonetheless, I have to move along to make these dreams happen.
One of my special new friends told me something recently...He said, "I've arrived." I fully understand that. He is in his happy place, that place we all seek to be in...But I've had some time to think about that...While I can't say that "I've arrived" to my happy place...I can say that I have finally arrived to the point that I've been waiting for for so long to be in...moving from here. It's come down to this week, my last week in Clearwater. I may not have arrived to my "happy place" yet, but I've arrived to the beginning of the journey to my "happy place". That's not to say that all my friends here will be forgotten. Far from it! You have all made my life a wonderful journey to this point, and I am happy to have known you all...and I want to thank each and every one of you. In these last 3 years you have given me inspiration, hope, encouragement, and best of all, friendship. I will forever remember you and how you've touched my life...and in all that each of you have given me, I will pass it on...
