In the past 72 hours, I have:

• Gone hiking
• ..........(this time I did the Sinks Trail on Monte Sano... my goal is to do them all, eventually)
• Made cookies
• ..........(not Christmas cookies, just break and bakes... the good cookies will come when I'm home! :) )
• Organised my entire closet
• ..........(I bought rubbermaids and took everything out of my closet to sort)
• Realised how blessed I am
• ..........(I have some really amazing people in my life right now... and I can't express how much they mean!)
• Worked on moving on
• ..........(I found an Easter Egg Adam gave me last year in my backpack... not long after, Pete found the same one... I got over it... and threw it away.)
• Realised how much I've grown
• ..........(mainly from my conversations with Melissa and my mom)
• Decided to run a Marathon
• ..........(I will be training this year to run the Rocket City Marathon in December... I'm not concerned about time... I would just like to finish! :) )
• Tried Greek food
• ..........(I've had Greek before, but I was willing to try something very new)
• Thought about the things I no longer have that I miss
• ..........(this was probably the hardest out of all... I came across a card Alice and Jack sent me while I was at Camp one year... I started realising how much I miss what I no longer have... some are gone forever... some seem like they want to be... either way, I wish things didn't change so often)

So I guess you could say it has been a productive past three days. I'm looking forward to that plane ride home much more than words can express. While talking to my mom last night, I got even more excited. It seems like this time (as opposed to Thanksgiving) I realise I'm going home. Maybe it's because my work term is also ending. Anyway, Saturday can't come soon enough...

Hope everyone is doing well and that power outtages and snow aren't slowing you down! :) And PS, Thanks Tracy for the call the other day. I finally listened to my voicemail on my way to work this morning. It made me smile. :) Love to all!

Peace, Love and Making the Most of Things,
