I've been dragging my feet on a few things...weird things like canceling my Netflix subscription and Amazon Prime (although I did need to finish watching LOST on Amazon...priorities, you know?) I finally canceled my internet...which is good since I no longer have an apartment :) On the whole I've been in a bit of a fog. Pushing through all the essential things like packing and moving...glossing over things like goodbyes... That's been the toughest thing...although, real friends are always together in Spirit. Lunch with the gang was nice. Good friends...people I have seen every day for 11 years. I've spent more time with them than my family! I will miss seeing their faces every day but feel so lucky to have had all that time and to have them in my life (Facebook is a wonderful thing). After lunch and dropping off my cable modem I watched the series finale of LOST. Talk about an emotional way to spend an afternoon! But such a beautiful, quiet message (I thought so, anyway). I won't spoil if you aren't familiar. If you are you know that Love and togetherness were a big theme. I chased that with one final dinner at St. Andrews with Sara. Every moment that passes frees me up for the next part of my journey. I can feel it. There is so much joy bubbling up inside of me now that I am starting to re-focus my energy on my actual trip, but I also want to honor everything that I've done to get me to this place. All the speed bumps and "obstacles." As Sara reminded me last night...I've survived living here in New York. Not a small accomplishment. It is without a doubt a difficult place to succeed and somewhere a lot of folks would kill to experience. And I made it here. And you know what the song says :) XO

... Oh LeeAnn I'm so excited for you. Your description of being in a fog is very similar to how I've been feeling. The flat still looks so cluttered but we leave Edinburgh tomorrow. Arrrrg! Goodbyes are hard, especially when you don't know when you will see people again. I keep trying to take Edinburgh so I'll remember everything, but my brain is constantly distracted. I wish you a great flight and a wonderful adventure. I'm sorry I'm going to miss seeing you! Have a great time at the BBQ and give Alison and Susan a squeeze for me. xx |

... I will miss seeing you too! I found that all the distractions sort of helped move me along...so I didn't linger or feel sad or whatever during all the packing. Maybe keeping our heads in a whirlwind is a helpful thing! Good luck and safe travels to you! Say hello to Canada for me! XO |

... A blessing on your journey from Carmina Gadelica (collected from Scotland's highlands & Islands): BITH a bhi na m’ bhial, Bladh a bhi na m’ chainn, Blath na siri na mo bhile, Gun an tig mi nail. An gaol thug Iosa Criosda Bhi lionadh gach cridhe domh, An gaol thug Iosa Criosda Da m’ lionadh air an son. Siubhal choire, siubhal choille, Siubhal fraoine fada, fas, Moire mhin-gheal sior dha m’ chobhair, Am Buachaill Iosa m’ dhion ’s a char. Moire mhin-gheal sior dha m’ chobhair, Am Buachaill Iosa m’ dhion ’s a chas. in English: LIFE be in my speech, Sense in what I say, The bloom of cherries on my lips, Till I come back again. The love Christ Jesus gave Be filling every heart for me, The love Christ Jesus gave Filling me for every one. Traversing corries, traversing forests, Traversing valleys long and wild. The fair white Mary still uphold me, The Shepherd Jesu be my shield, The fair white Mary still uphold me, The Shepherd Jesu be my shield xx |
