Sail Away

Today was my last day of work, and after saying my goodbyes I began my walk home, with a friend.
She had to stop and get on the bus, so I hurried along to continue my stroll onwards. After I hug my friend goodbye, I kept walking and had this feeling. Like my foot steps were leaving imprints behind me. I just felt like each step i took was leaving a trace of where I had been, even though I couldn't see it. The further I walked away the less imprints there were. You know when your feet get wet, and you walk on the ground and it leaves a few marks, but then your feet aren't wet anymore. It was like that. I felt like God was showing me that my life was leaving a mark all along the roads and places I have been. That you could go back and see the difference. I don't know how actuate that is, but it is how I felt.

As my time in Wellington is drawing to a close, I am getting pretty sentimental. Something I must have picked up from my dad. Seeing as he cherishes all the little moments, and tries to make even the little things in life important. I hugged each person at my office, and some a few times. I also tried to get a picture with each person...We had a morning tea for my going away. I wrote a short poem, and read it allowed to them. ha. I found it quite hilarious.

The staff at my work, gave me the most wonderful gifts, and a card full of the sweetest goodbye notes. I didn't really know what to say to them each. I felt like words wouldn't be enough. It was been such a fun adventure getting to know each of them, and I truly feel so blessed I got to. Thanks FHSS for an awesome time, and I'll see you around. lol

Other then finishing up at work, tomorrow I have all my packing ahead of me. Jessica took off work, and I couldn't be more excited. I love knowing someone will be around to help me sorta out my life, and put it in two bags. Packing is probably one of the challenging things I encounter when traveling. On my way to New Zealand I had my mom and lovely friend Janel pack my bags...ha. Is that bad? Jessica thinks its pretty crazy. So I am looking forward to having some time with Jess, and just getting everything sorted out for my voyage.

I truly can't believe my time here is almost up, and I don't know what Wellington will do without me, or what I will do with out Wellington. I know we will both gone on to lead great lives. ha.

Well, I guess that is about it for me. Sorry I haven't blogged in ages and ages. BUT
I have been a busy working women! I hope you are all doing GREAT!
