When times get hard.

I am starting to really miss the familiar. I miss my friends and family. I miss familiar weather. I miss familiar smells. I knew this time would come, but it is still a shock. I knew that I could only ride the initial excitement for so long, but it is still hard to come down.

Work got harder. Personality clashes are showing up in teams. I think the initial excitement has worn off for everyone else too. I know this is part of building a strong team, but it is hard to remember. We are all tired and sprinting across new territory without a map.

I pray for patience and peace in my heart.




I spent the evening dancing to Michael Franti, eating macaroni and cheese courtesy of my roommate Jodi, and watching The Muppet Movie, so I’m feeling better.
