Go baby (gobabis)

There is good, and there is bad, it all depends on what you focus your brain on.

I have settled into my new apartment, the simplicity of it is breathtaking. I need about 3 more items to make it homey and I’ve landed into this in such a wonderful way (take this with the grain of salt that comes with 14 hours a large quantity being sleep). My first morning consisted of watching the African sunrise in full glory, wonderful coffee, meditation, a core workout, cleaning, and discovering that the acoustics in my kitchen are mind blowing. Playing guitar for the better part of an hour and sitting listening to other music I had the most incredible wave of love I may have ever experienced. Snagged my laptop to write down my thoughts and reflections and the screen is cracked. It’s all where you focus. Time to practice letting things go I guess eh?

I’ve officially now sworn in as a Peace Corps Response Volunteer and I can happily say that this feels completely and utterly right. It’s not often I’ve felt I am where I should be if there is some higher calling but the good, the bad, and the ugly have pointed towards here. 

I am waiting for the dip, the sadness, the anxiety that will come. However it doesn’t feel like the panic of an oncoming storm, more of the understanding that the tides always change and the contrast is what makes life beautiful. I have a wonderful network around me it’s incredible how you can feel closest to your community while aprox 15,000 km away (don’t worry I don’t actually understand the metric system yet). 

To all, I wish you love peace and happiness, and drop me a call when you have a chance :).

PPS: Watching my new team pull up in the most clapped out Gov plated 5 on the floor Hilux I have ever seen was absolutely surreal and seems so fitting I can’t even express how relieved I am
