Farewell Friends...
By the time most of you will read this I will be halfway across the world. As usual I’ve been experiencing a roller coaster of emotions. Today was the hardest. I felt overwhelmed from saying too many goodbyes, but I feel fortunate knowing that I am leaving with a huge support system. This summer was rich with memories and stories and I feel blessed to be surrounded by such amazing people. There are so many things I wish I could have said but didn’t have the words (or strength) to say at the time, but I want to thank everyone for their encouragement, thoughts and prayers and I hope everyone knows how much it means to me.
Despite the alligator tears, I am so excited to actually do what I’ve been talking about for so long. And I can’t wait to meet all the people I’m going with. Everyone seems very open-minded and just as anxious as I am to get there and get settled. All of my questions will soon be answered. Now all that stands between Kyrgyzstan and me are a few (dozen) vaccinations and forms…. Can’t believe I’m leaving for Philly in 5 hours!
Side note- I thought I should keep this quote in mind:

Side note- I thought I should keep this quote in mind:
Change has a considerable psychological impact on the human mind. To the fearful it is threatening because it means that things may get worse. To the hopeful it is encouraging because things may get better. To the confident it is inspiring because the challenge exists to make things better. - King Whitney Jr.
