The Calm Before the Storm


Many people are wondering what there is left to do for my departure. The answer is, other than packing, there really isn’t anything to do. At this point it is just waiting for my departure date and spending time with my friends and family.

Most people want to hear some more details, some more juicy drama of getting my ducks in a row. I am certain that these ‘quiet’ days will be my last. From the day of my departure forward, my life will be filled with drama, challenge, and life-full experiences.

This is the calm before the storm. All seems quiet and settled, but really the trepidation is brewing in the background.

My natural reaction to moments of calmness is to get antsy, fidgety, and uncomfortable…sometimes even depressed. I am trying to keep clear perspective and to remember that these ‘quiet’ days are actually precious…

…precious to have some unburdened free time,

…precious to spend quality time with my family and friends,

…precious to rest for the next to come.
