One week...and enjoying Minneapolis

Taking the last few days to check off the items on my list(s) (yes, I know it's surprising that I may make a list...or 4) and enjoy time with those who make Minneapolis a place so dear to my heart. The fact that I am leaving is just starting to settle in...and I'm finding myself with conflicting emotions - extremely excited to live in a place that I've been anticipating for 5 years (and 85 degree weather), and at the same time, an awareness that even though I know I'll be back in a short while, nothing will remain as it is right now. So many of the people that are closest to me are starting to make real changes in their lives - which was one of the initiatives for me to make this decision for myself - but I know that none of us will be in the same place in the next 3 months...9 months..year...as we are right now. So - it's off to shape some new paths in my future and know that the connections that I have in the physical space of Minnesota will always be there...even if electronically for a little while. So, if you find yourself bored or just needing a little retreat from your daily life, check in and let me know how you're doing (because I certainly want to remain connected with the daily happenings that occur up here, as well).
