This has been a week full of goodbyes. Said goodbye to the softball team on Tuesday. Said goodbye to our church small group on Wednesday. Said goodbye to my work buddies on Friday. Said goodbye to more friends over the weekend. And I still haven’t gotten a chance to talk to all my friends, as our busyness is accelerating as we approach our departure date. Its weird how we’ve prepared for so long, but we’re only getting busier.
Anyways, all the goodbyes got me reflecting about all the things I’m going to miss. I have a lot going here. What I wrote about leaving work can be said for our whole lives too. We’re not fleeing the country because life here sucks. We’re going because we want to see the world. But we have good jobs, good friends, good family, a good church. To an extent, its tough to leave. I worry about abandoning so many good things. On the flip-side, its been a good opportunity to stop, evaluate, and appreciate all we have. Oh also, it doesn’t suck that I’m gonna travel around the world with my wife
