Lying in bed last night and just waiting to depart on today's flight through Miami to Managua, Nicaragua, I'd be lying if I told you I wasn't experiencing just an inkling of pre-departure jitters....
Will anyone speak english? Will my work be legitimate and meaningful? What level of poverty will I work with? Will I be alone? Do I look goofy carrying all of my luggage? What time am I leaving, again? Oh yeah, 12:15 pm.
Well that's one question answered! I'd say that's enough for now, don't you think?.... I'd hate to ruin all the surprises ahead!
:)
I suppose I'll simply have to follow the enduring wisdom of two of my lifelong comrades, Calvin & Hobbes, narrated in their final comic strip ever written:
Calvin: Wow, it really snowed last night! Isn't it wonderful?
Hobbes: Everything familiar has disappeared! The world looks brand-new!
Calvin: A new year... A fresh, clean start!
Hobbes: It's like having a big white sheet of paper to draw on!
Calvin: A day full of possibilities! It's a magical world, Hobbes, ol' buddy.... Let's go exploring!
LOVE TO ALL,
sarah
