A Personal Note

Just a small note to thank all those who have added comments- thank you so much! It's great to know that somebody is reading this!

I've been trying to keep this blog to matters of geographic travel, but I will quickly insert that there have been more than a few times on the trip out here that my stomach hurt and I was feeling a bit like:

What the (fill in your favorite word) am I doing?

What a crazy life choice- Idaho?
If only I had stronger medication, perhaps I could wake up and this would all be a dream.

But today, having met more people that I will be working with and having bought myself a lamp for my room, I feel little bit closer to calm and to even enjoying this beautiful place. I drove Dad to the airport today. Although I'm sad to see him go, because we've had an amazing time traveling together, I'm happy to be here.

"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see it's path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."
