I also napped, talked to a friend, read, and took a walk on some beautiful trails in Issaquah. I think I thought through some things, too.
Time flies by, and it's hard to believe I only have a couple months left in Seattle. I start my new full time summer job at the Space Needle Thursday. I am so excited to be working again. I can hardly wait to start. In the next few days of training I'm sure to learn a lot about this place...
Introducing you to your new elevator operator... :)

I am also getting excited about Tucson, such a different world, but I have to start preparing for that venture as well. I'm pumped about the service project and meeting people that are coming from all over the country to do this work with me. I'm also looking forward to creating a home for myself, however humble it may be, to call my own. I love creating home, place, sanctuary. I'll be riding my bike, wearing warmer clothes, and experiencing a new southwestern culture. Desert! Flowers! Cactus! Sunsets! new adventures.....I look forward to finding a church, a coffee shop, a place to buy cheap clothes, good Mexican food, and hidden away wonderful springs for a quick splash or swim.
I imagine in July, I'll start looking at apartment possibilities.
It feels good to be refocusing on my finances, too. I have two student loans, one of my loans is in forbearance for the year and my other student loan, less than 2,000 needs to be paid. My goal is to pay off the SC student loan within the next year, so that by the time my forbearance is up- I can then focus on my last loan with a reduced amount due to AmeriCorps service. I want to keep myself with little debt and little stuff. It's good to remember that it could all be gone in a second, such as happened to my friends Butch and Kathy in their home fire, and you certainly can't take it with you when this life is over. Perspective!
I'm moving forward, feeling hopeful, and so very thankful for these two new opportunities that I have found and can hopefully grow from being a part.
