Comings and goings

The thing about meeting so many people like one does when you're in an organization like AIESEC is that it's difficult to keep up with them all (at least I think so).

There are so many people that I've really felt a connection with at one time or another - you know, had a really great conversation one night, or more than one night, or helped out in a crisis, or have helped ME out in a crisis, or just really made an impact on me...but not all that many that I've been able to hold on to and remain close with. Probably many of you reading this would fit into one of those categories. I would love to hear from you :)

On the other hand, there are those that I make the effort with for one reason or another...and then there are also those that I've severed ties with, for one reason or another. I guess that's life.

Swings

I had an irresistable urge at about 5:48 this morning to get up and go for a walk. Those of you who know me REALLY well will not be surprised by this.

I love the early morning; it's so peaceful and beautiful - the world just looks different. I used to go for early morning walks all the time back in Arthur; our new house is not conveniently located for this activity unfortunately. I've also been known to sneak out in the very early morning when I'm staying at someone else's place...or even hostels in Athens.

I found a swing set in town; haven't swung for a long time either. Too bad I wore my new black leather coat and gloves - with the rest of my ensemble consisting of brown cords, sneakers, and knitted cap I probably could have passed for a 12 year old otherwise!

Not sure why I felt this way today...going back to my roots before I embark on my next journey? I wonder if there will be good swings where I end up...?
