I guess that's the sexy part about the ups and downs..... No matter where your at, life can make you better if you let it.

Peace Love and the Lasts
Remember your firsts?
Its funny how quickly the firsts become part of a daily life norm. Getting on and off a minibus, going to the market, sweating during breakfast, sweating in your shower..even though the water is cold, sleeping under a mosquito net, stepping on cockroaches, finding patience in a blackout and walking for an hour just because you can't afford to pay the 50 cent car ride. Firsts, are now my life, and having them become my lasts here in Guyana have been a bit of a shipwreck of emotions...a kaiter waterfall kind of feeling. I've been so lucky these last two years....and frustrated and happy.
I've extended for a month but that doesn't mean my lasts are getting any easier.I'll be home in May..but i'll also be leaving home in May. Many more firsts to be experienced...Many more lasts to happen.

Peace Love and 2 years
Oh the places you'll go!!! I also like to think Oh, the places you've come through!
These past 2 years have taken me through some of the hardest and strongest parts of my life. Parts that I never want to forget, parts that I've been tryin to forget since they happened. I was challenged, freed, accepted, pushed apart and to pieces, put together again, found joy, lost some, found more. I had done more than i set out to do, i still feel like i haven't done enough. But through it all, i had this recurring thought, this recurring feeling of of "I am so lucky". I am. These past two years were, and I can only hope that the years ahead will be just as :)
