As I sit at my desk in New Hampshire, and enjoy the view of spruce branches bending under the heavy weight of wet snow, I try to imagine what my new life will be like in Madagascar in just a couple weeks. For now, there are the simple pleasures of being home with family and enjoying the quiet solitude of a long walk in the snowy woods.
The frenetic packing and excitement and anticipation are just days away.
Looks like you got the pic to work. Very exciting adventure you are about to experience!
ReplyDeletehey, nice job, this is exciting... oh, the different experiences you will have... the different person you will be at the end of this sojourn... and the 'many' faces this blog will take with each new update! congrats
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be an amazing adventure and I look forward to checking back here now and then to see what's going on over there. The most important thing about a blog is to keep it up (duh) even when you don't feel like you have anything particularly interesting to offer. Make it a snapshot and one sentence on those days. All good things to you Vanessa!
