Footprints in the snow

What a beautiful day to wake up to. I am relishing my last Canadian winter morning (for now). I am getting ready for my journey.  Today is the day I leave for Muscat, Oman.

Time went by fast. Guess I had been having fun all along that I never noticed the passage of time. My times of learning, of resting, of rejuvenating has now come to an end. At least here. There is always time for all that somewhere, sometime. So, yes... after months of exchange with my future organization (CfBT) , here i am!

This past week seemed like a whirlwind. From packing, to shopping to bonding with friends and families- my days were so packed that this week felt just surreal. But it is not the first time. I've been through this many times in the past. Yet everytime it is always a new surreal experience.

I am in deep gratitude for the last few months of respite and soulsearching, post-Japan. It was a perfect time to deal with ambiguities and restlessness. I am still searching, but there is now clarity. Oman may be a symbolic of good things to come :-)!

Well I better get going and continue the day of preparation. I am also savouring my last good Filipino-Canadian family hospitality.  Good to the very last drop! 

I am trading my footprints in the snow to new footprints in the sand. Wow... imagine that!
