26 Weeks to Go

34 hours, four countries, three breakfasts and two cappuccinos later: So begins Part II

This time seems more daunting.

It's pretty amazing to think of all that's happened in the past six months: the lessons learned, the skills attained and the friendships formed. Being both blessed and lucky is some many ways. Sure there were some bad times but I suppose sometimes that's just part of it all.

The uncertainty that is constantly present in my new semi "in-the-moment" life is not really more than I had in the first six months, but perhaps I'm finding this next bit of time more daunting simply because of my own expectations. I hope and expect this next six months to be even better and more awesome than the previous six months. The first time I arrived here I was all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. This time I am feeling more cautious. As if the first time I was simply eager to play, where as now I'm more eager to play well.

In any case, I am looking forward to it.
