Another quick thought: I have lived and worked in a third world country for 6+ months now, in a field that is as meaningful and intellectually stimulating as it is emotionally challenging, doing advocacy and legal work that I could not have dreamed up before my move, with experiences that still floor me (and I am relatively numb to these things now), that make me laugh, shake my head in disbelief and, sometimes, in anger, in hope, in mind-boggling, eye-opening amazement.
That is where I stand today, incidentally in the only Mayle dress I brought along (not that others would find that very blogworthy, but I heart Mayle).
And in about a week, I go home to visit family and friends.
P.S. Actually, it has been 7+ months. Time flies.
Nice dress! :)
ReplyDeleteWill you be going home for good or just for a visit?
Time has been going by quickly! I think what you're doing is great.
ReplyDeleteHave fun back at home!
I'm only just discovering your blog - some time after you discovered mine - and am enjoying the wonderful photos and the posts about a place I have never visited but always been intrigued by.
ReplyDeleteHi Jennifer: That's been the big question lately. I decided to stay on next year, so this break is just for a month or so.
ReplyDeleteTee and Rosemary: Thanks.
