The beginning of the end

As venus turns around the sun in this "one in 150 years" eclipse I find myself moving away from the place I called home for the past 5 years. I came here with one suitcase, single and ready for adventure and I am leaving with a treasure full of spoils; wife, daughter, dog, cat and of course a title "Doctor" that will forever be mine, for better and for worse, if I choose it as my occupation or move on to another adventure, it will always be there, I have earned it.

As I try to enjoy these final moments between my last exam and my graduation I am finding it hard to feel happy in this moment of triumph, I am busy with packing and planning my way back to the mother land that I have hardly noticed that I am finished. This blog will try to identify this moment and help my busy mind set into the joy and fulfillment that is rightfully felt.

Organizing my life into boxes makes me think about the amount of STUFF I gathered throughout the years, it is a good opportunity to hand out things that are of no use for me but are worth plenty to others. Until I get settled down in my new place these boxes will be my home. My safe place will be the road and the feeling of peace and quite that accompany the safety of ones home will not be felt until the boxes are unpacked and placed away.

This entry took 3 weeks to be written, not because the english is fabulous or the idea is revolutionary, just because I had no time to write and no time to dwell on my accomplishment.
