Debrief has been completed, final newsletter has been sent out, and thank yous to supporters have been posted. I am moving into my apartment and starting a new job in a few days. It feels like I am definitely coming to the end of this stage of transition and stepping into a new season in life. It’s strange and surreal. The pile of things yet to pack and boxes ready to be moved are a good visual of how the next few days and weeks feel a little bit like a mountain ready to be faced and conquered. Yet I can finally see the end of it. I signed my rental contract yesterday and am ready to make my apartment a home for the next while. Tomorrow will be a busy day packing, but a good day in anticipation of finally being able to unpack and actually have a kitchen, lounge, and bedroom as my living space and be able to create a space for my belongings (which would have been much more numerous had I not been living abroad for so long). The weeks that have passed have been quite emotion
Life is a journey full of weird and interesting experiences. As the years go by, what was once new and different, has become part of the ordinary and usual. And those things which once brought amazement, no longer catch my attention. So instead of letting the new and exciting fade into nothing, I want to try to capture and keep some of these moments.
