Arriving....

Arriving is hard....seeing people met and greeted and hugged by friends and family touches a nerve. It is exciting to be reaching a new place, but it makes me so aware of being an alien there; and of how far away we are from home. Stepping into the unknown....it has become evident how much we (I) need familiarity and routine to feel safe. You have to focus on the new possibilities, or you would be very very low. It is hard to take control when you feel scared and tired. But how lucky we are to even be able to do this trip, i have worked in the past with those that could not do anything that varied at all from their daily routine...even if breakfast was 5 minutes that it would be a problem, yet we can plunge ourselves into the completely unknown.....perhaps we all need different amounts of routine.....we are lucky.
