I leave on Monday

[ceitfianna]

Wow, so much has happened and I'm basically ready to go. Though I'm not that scared. I know I should be but part of me just feels that this is so right and that I'll be okay, that I'm not freaking out. I have reference letters from three awesome women that I worked for, I have random presents for people who will help me. I've got a new camera, my big purse is covered with pins and buttons to create a conversation piece and just be a part of me. Tonight is a family feast and I leave on Monday. Wow, I'm going to do this and not look back. I've been thinking a lot about circles and symbols and chance like the fact that in Greece, I discovered a New Zealand author and read Return of the King on the way from Philly to Athens. This is a proper continuation, also I've been thinking about ships, sails billowing outwards to the horizon and not always being sure what you're going to find. Cook thought he knew, but he didn't know till he got there and all his men stayed with him and changed the way the world is seen for many. So now I'm changing the way I see my world and going off into the known that is unknown. Life is pretty amazing and the one thing that I wanted to do but didn't was have a fortuneteller read my palm or the tarot for me. I've had it done a few times in my life and the two women who did hit on some true things. Oh well, now its time for the fun stuff, making a recipe book and a family photo album. I'm going to keep posting when I get there, so don't forget about me.

Peachy keen to the "doing this and not looking back part". I'm getting myself mentally ready to jet off. I feel like I'm standing at the edge of a cliff and somebody's trying to push me over the edge because it's for my own good.

Read your interview answers. They made me giggle :)

I'd write more but I'm trying to catch up with everybody since I've been away for the week. Have a safe trip, catch up with you later.
