Twenty days left till Departure Day. One can live twenty days of a month without really noticing it. Going along with the everyday routine, not really aware of the days going by until suddenly it's the end of the month. When I was a child, when Decemeber came I remember I counted the days till Christmas, or come November I would count the twenty-two days for my birthday. Other than that, as an adult, I don't think I ever counted the days looking forward to a big event. Now, Ed and I are mentally tallying the days inmate-style.

I get asked all the time how I feel; am I excited, anxious, nervous? The answer is always "all of the above" but I usually add "melancholic" to go with it. A woman at the office today took a moment to think about my answer and wisely responded: "Everything in life has an 'undo' to it, except not trying it out". Her simplistic repartee got me thinking that maybe even though I was allowing my emotions to flow, I was probably missing out on the positive energy I was supposed to be feeding from 01 Big One green lights

I have to admit I grow increasingly nervous and anxious as the days go by. I can't wait to start my adventures around the world yet I feel something is holding me back and I can't put my finger on it. Maybe when I'm traveling I'll be able to look back and pin-point the reason for my uneasiness.

In the meantime, I am taking one day at a time. Enjoying my friends' company, the bonding with my sister, the planning with Ed, the slowly and intimately saying goodbye to everyone. I feel like a whole new person since we started this change of life-style...funny enough, we haven't started traveling yet. So what more is there in store for me? What else will I search for deep within me to bring out? How drastically will my life change? The answers to these questions are in me and out there somewhere, and I am soon to find them out.

Excited. Anxious. Nervous. Melancholic. Marvelled.
