I'm here at the Portland airport, waiting for the first of many flights over the next few months. I'm having a bevy of mixed feelings this morning as I said my goodbyes to my home, animals and friends. A friend who knows me very well told me that there would be discomfort on this journey (I am a homebody and deciding to wear my home on my back for an extended period of time is not something that will be easy for me) but that if I lean into that discomfort and embrace it, I will be able to grow from it. So that's what I am doing. I didn't expect to feel it so early, but I think this is actually the hardest part for me. It has been years since I have gone anywhere but back home to visit family and friends. Well I am certainly going to visit friends and family but this is a whole different beast I am tackling here. I have imagined this moment and the ones to come more times than I can count and they are finally here! I am missing all my friends (furry and otherwise) already but I can't wait to see what comes. So on that note, here is your quintessential Portland airport photo, complete with new carpet for a new adventure!
Love you all and see you soon!
