Today begins the preface for chapter forty-three in the tome of my life. I realize that my birthday is over two months away and that makes this a long preface. Today, we closed out one opportunity that we are currently certain we will not do again. We took our final exchange student to the airport to begin her journey home to Thailand. We have enjoyed hosting exchange students immensely. We felt it was a great opportunity during and after hosting our five students. We have decided that there are other opportunities that we feel more called to do. This year has brought a lot of things to light for myself, and I am truly the only person I can speak for. I think my husband has also felt a shift in our purpose and our dreams as a couple. We want to leave the world a better place than we found it. I believe we has done that in some ways already but we want to do more. I say all of this because I am making a lot of changes in the next two months and a half months to start chapter forty-two. I do not want to put the changes out there just yet because if I have learned anything in the last year or so about myself it is this, I seem to like saying I am going to do something and then I do not do it. So, I am going to do the things and then talk about them. Hopefully, I will write about them here and in my paper journal for all of posterity but that remains to be seen as well. Until we meet again.
PS A tome is a book, especially a large, heavy, scholarly one. I love this. 😁
