Es tan bueno saber que...

It's so good to know that I'm doing what I want.

It's so good to know that I don't know what I'm doing.

It's so good to know that whatever I do, it will be good.

It's so good to know that my life will evolve from doing this unknown good.

It's so good to know that, even if what I do doesn't seem good now, the future has been changed because of the good I'm doing.

It's so good to know that I love what I'm getting myself into.

It's so good to know that life cannot be mapped out.

It's so good to know that living an unmapped life usually brings you what you want, even when you don't know you want it.

It's so good to know that the world is my Oyster - even if what appears to be happening isn't what I'd mapped out.

Es tan bueno saber que todo es como debe ser, siempre.


Peace Corps parties are fun. Everyone's excited, even if they have yet to apply. Returned volunteers are excited to share with you their experiences and advice, applicants and nominees are excited to hear what they'll be going through for the next year+, invitees are excited they'll be leaving SOON...

I was told I looked like a bride on her wedding day. If any of you don't know what that looks like, imagine someone glowing with love for the way things are and will be (at least in their minds at the time, anyway). ;-)

I don't really know what I'll be doing - my Project Description has laid out a very detailed outline of what my project may entail, but, if I learned anything more concretely from this evening, it's that nothing is concrete. I'm 100% OKAY with that, and look forward for the challenge of making something out of nothing, even if that something is nothing tangible. Relationships will be built, perspectives and tolerance gained, respect learned, and lives changed. What more could I hope for?
