calm before the storm
tomorrow night i’m leaving for china. i cannot wait to leave the country, but beyond that–nervous as hell.
it’s going to be a long hard month of daily struggles and challenges, exhaustion, pushing myself beyond what i think i can do. but the people will make it worth it.
i spent the morning lying in bed, staring out the window, toile curtains and apple green sweetgum leaves swaying with the wind. birds chirping and bossa nova jazz. this is what i will miss the most, i thought. and then i was overwhelmed by gratitude that i have been born into a place in the world where i can enjoy the simplicity of this moment.
we are really blessed, aren’t we?
see you on the other side. :)
