Final Days of the Tour

As my European vacation is winding down, I am struggling to deal with the idea of returning to the reality I call my life. While I miss the consistency of everyday life in the States, i.e. sleeping in the same bed, I do not enjoy the consistency of my vacation, i.e. wearing the same jeans for 2 weeks. I cannot wait to do some laundry.

I have learned a few things on this trip, a smidge of German , a pinch of Norwegian, and a splash of English. More importantly, I learned to relax, enjoy myself, be at ease, and laugh at my own falters. What I have not been able to disspell are questions of my life: where is it going and what lies ahead. I suppose an extended vacation is not the solution. But, I think I am going to be more optimistic and not fear the unknown.

California, here I come!
