first day back.

today is my first full day back from rwanda.

i got an email from my new friend Innocent.
it made me squeel with excitement.
there are so many things on my list of things to do.
funny how my list here compares to my list there.
there? eye exams, malnutrition assessment, dance with widows, love on orphans
here? pay bills, buy printer ink, get allergy shot...

it's okay though, we gotta take care of the ordinary in order to enjoy the extraordinary.

my mother sent me this quote while i was out of the country. she said she is proud of me for making my dreams come true.

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." ~ Mark Twain

what are your dreams? are you making them come true?
