Sky

I'm sitting in my room at a college in Western New York, staring out of my window at the sky, which is currently the perfect shade of blue.  You know, that lazy summer afternoon blue?  It's fantastic.  Take a while this week just to stare at the sky...you won't regret it!

I've been in New York for almost two weeks now, enjoying the solitude of a small town while attending sessions on various transition issues and getting to know some of the people that I will be working with next year.  There are several teachers from my school here, which has been fantastic as I've been given a glimpse of the great people that I am so excited to spend more time with in the coming years.  They are a great group!

At the moment, it is less than 3.5 weeks until I fly across an ocean.  I can't believe how quickly time has flown!  When I get back to Washington, there will be a plethora of details to wrap up, people to see, things to pack, items to stock up on, and so much more it seems.  Definitely my least favorite part of moving to another country!

But it all certainly is an adventure, isn't it?  Things will be different, the world around me will shift, with a new time zone and new surroundings, but as long as I see it as an adventure of delightful proportions, I have absolutely nothing to fear!  Thank you for going on this adventure with me, at least vicariously!

Take care, wherever you might be!

A bit of blue sky the other day :)

Letchworth State Park is known as the Grand Canyon of the East.  It really is gorgeous!

Of course, I had to try out the panorama view on my camera on the bigger of the falls at Letchworth.  Absolutely marvelous!
