I haven’t updated this blog much, lately, and that’s due to
feeling that not much of note has happened, to interest anyone. And while the last year has been quite
life changing, since leaving Mexico for Texas, and then leaving Texas for the
Pacific Northwest, much of it involved personal matters that I chose to keep
private. I’ve thought often about this blog, and what the purpose of it is, and
whether or not I wanted to continue it, at all. I still get emails and
comments, occasionally, but most of my information and stories regarding Mexico
are now old news. The director was fired, and someone new hired. My former
students are now a year and a half older and moving on with their lives. I keep
in touch with them through facebook and instagram. My cherished former
co-workers have all moved on, most for better, and have new jobs in other parts
of Mexico. My students from Venus are now graduating and going off to
college. The minutes, the hours-
they continue to rush over one another, tumbling towards an unknown, and the past
becomes a hazy recollection of memories, some sweetened with milky rose-colored
glasses, and others bittered by regret, and hindsight. But what all of those
memories have in common is that they are in the past, and that’s where they
will remain, rightly so. We live, we learn. We move on, things change, for
better, for worse.
And speaking of things changing, for better…I have news that
I wanted to share. Caden and I are headed out on new adventures.
Oh the places we will go….3rd stop: GERMANY
