Its take off time. First thoughts are - I wish that things were clear right from go. Not knowing if it was even going to happen or not just served to make me worry about it all the time. Anyhow.
next thought - change. Its massive. Its difficult to leave something one is so rooted to, where one grew up (in so many ways), place of a sort of rebirth.. I think of people who left their homes, countries to travel the high seas absolutely unaware of what lay ahead of them... To be so completely at the mercy of the uncertain - one had to have a great deal of hope and optimism inside of them.. and its only that which got them places. I have to look at this transition the same way. There is so much that I can make of it but its totally upto me to do it. Its not one of the beaten paths in this line of work. I have to beat the path that works for me. And I have to stay hopeful.
