meeting my fellow PC volunteers
I arrived in Miami yesterday, Monday, June 27. I will write later about all the "angels" that showed up to help me prepare for this adventure. I don't think I could have done it without them. The most wonderful experience so far is meeting the amazing people accompanying me on this journey. The volunteers are so diverse and fun to be with. We all have sort of an instant bonding because of the knowledge that we are all in the same boat. We all have stressed over the same things and have very similar dreams and aspirations. Tomorrow, June 29, we will leave for Jamaica around 10:30am and will be in Kingston a couple of days before heading out to Hellshire to meet our host families and begin our training. Last night, I slept for 11 hours! That was the most restful sleep I have had in weeks. I feel good and looking forward to what tomorrow will bring.

I am so glad you are blogging! Reading these really helps with the separation. One of my two year old clients had major separation anxiety this morning after her mother left. I picked her up and said, "I know how you feel." I am so proud of you and look forward to reading about all your adventures, Mom. Rock steady!!!
ReplyDeleteLinda, I am still trying to figure out how to post things and have them show up. I guess I am using Jim's acct. It is very confusing how to post. Anyhoo, I am glad to hear your comments and we are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers. I hope you are having a chance to swim and dance before the work begins.
