Well it is roughly 2 days until Hayley and I will be returning to America. It is has been over 2 years since we have been back and both of us are very much looking forward to seeing so many faces we have not been able to see in such a long time. We have been saving and looking forward to this trip for about a year and a half now, and it is pretty much here…..well at least the start of the 36 hour plane trip is about here.
I titled this post dealing with timing because this trip comes at a perfect time. It is amazing how much energy you are able to gain knowing you are close to a finish line, or at least a break line. I heard a story about a swimmer who trained for a swim across to an island in the ocean. She trained for 7 months and then on the day she was to swim there was a huge fog that came in. Against others better judgement, she went anyways. In doing so, she swam and swam and swam, but could not see the island. Because she could not see it, she was not able to see how far or how close she was to the island. She grew tired of swimming and eventually called it quits and climbed into the boat following her. Afterwards, they continued on and were immedietly connected with land. She was heart broken because she knew she would have had the energy to continue on if she knew she was that close to the island.
Well for me, I have been given more energy to continue on even though I am long over due a time of rest. I can see the line where I am going to be able to rest. The timing is just perfect for the rest!
