Done Already?
It's incredible how quickly one's life goes. I know I just went through 3 months, and in reality that is not an extensive amount of time; but it proves that you can really throw yourself into just about any type of situation and come out the other side relatively unchanged. Now don't get me wrong, being in Fiji was tremendously impactful--the people, their generosity and hospitality, the food, the weather, and the sum total 'experience' really does cause a change in pace. Indeed, almost like tripping on a stump during a run through the mountains causes a change in pace. Using that analogy, one might interprete that am suggesting Fiji was a "trip-up" to my 'pace' ... But in reality, I think I was already tripping before I left. In no disrespect to my family, friends or work colleagues I am pretty certain I was moving at a pace that ultimately would have led to a much worse "trip-up" had I continued to grit my teeth and continue moving on.
