Leaving

I’m leaving on a jet plane. Don’t know when I’ll be back again. .

My last night at home and I am perched on the horns of dueling emotions. I am excited to leave and have a new adventure, somewhat apprehensive about not achieving what I want from the adventure, and sad about leaving a life, friends and family that I love. Over the past week people have asked me, “Are you excited?” Many times I gave them the answer they expected. But it is deeper or more complicated than, “Yes, I am excited about this new adventure;” because in the past few years I have come to a place in my life where I am excited about each new day.
