Transitioning

Life waxes and it wanes. We go through valleys and climb mountains. My current re-evaluation of life and transitionary period can be painful, irritating and frustrating most of the time, however it is a time to discover profound things...how much I love the NW...how much I don't like driving on a daily basis and being in traffic... I need public transportation if I'm going to travel daily...even though the pay isn't great, working for a mission is important to me...how I can drive the entire way across the country and be only 3 hours away from family/friends, but it hasn't really increased my friend/family contact...how lucky I am to have people all over the country supporting me...and some other larger things...   Being in Pittsburgh in this short time, while it's a struggle emotionally, is helping me figure out things about what I want longer term. But, I look forward to the day I look back at this period of time, and I've climbed the mountain, gotten to the top and look back and smile, feeling more confident and certain of where I am :)
