Change is coming...

Well I am but two weeks away from relocating to Seattle, which will be my home for nine-month segments for the next four years. I'm feeling a great mix of emotions--excitement, for my brain to be challenged in ways that, I'm sure, it never dreamed of; sadness, for having to leave many quality people who I am just getting to know; anticipation, for this life of mine that is slowly unfolding, for the infinite possibilities, for what God has planned, for being on my own; reluctance, to leap off the edge of the cliff of dependence; fear, for the unknown; joy, that God has made it quite clear, as of now, as to where I should be; gratitude/appreciation, towards all the people who have been part of turning my life around in ways they will probably never understand.

There are so many changes that are about to take place. I feel as if I'm at a stop light, eagerly waiting for the light to turn green. It could be five seconds. It could be three minutes. But when that light turns green, I'll be off...

Oh, and I have recently been quite inspired to start using my camera more often. About once a month, I will hear the call of the clarion to go out and just take pictures, usually occurring on days when I head downtown. The other 29 days of the month, I just stare at it sitting on my desk. Yet, in these last few weeks of being home, I seem to be missing out on many shots which could have been candid. So, dear PowerShot, I vow now to use you more often than not.
