Life in transition

My last week in Curacao was a wonderful time.  Yes I had to work, but also found time to hang with friends, have final meals together, listen to music, watch the World Cup and the like.. and suddenly it was time to leave.  I was sent off by 3 friends who came for a coffee at the airport and was met by 2 friends at the airport in the US.  What a great way to transition.


Since I have been back, there have been many events:

  • Father's day with my dad for the first time in many years (In my defense, I do live overseas and have not been in the country.)
  • Yoga in Central Park which was unfortunately thunderstormed out
  • Yoga class in the City with the woman who will be my instructor for my 200 hour intensive training in July
  • Lunch with one of my new colleagues in the City
  • Some subway and express bus rides which always lets me know I am back in NYC
It has all been wonderful and I am looking forward to an exciting month ahead with my trip to Canada, yoga training and a sublet in Manhattan. :)

A week of Lasts...

Well my time here in Curacao is rapidly approaching its end.  Today was my last Sunday on the island. My last Sunday morning yoga class with Kirti (there will be a few more yoga classes during the week).  It has been a crazy couple of weeks giving exams, grading exams, finishing semester grades, collecting book and the myriad things that are part of the end of the school year.

Yesterday was a beautiful morning where a bunch of us leaving or moving had a group yard sale.  A bit was sold, but fun was had hanging out and relaxing in the shade. It is time to use up the foods in the kitchen and do a last purge so all my life will fit into a few suitcases which will come on the plane with me next Saturday afternoon.  This week definitely will be a time to hang out with the friends I have made and will not see often anymore.

It is a mixture of feelings wrapping things up. To help keep sane, I did Shred today before yoga. This was the first time in a week or so and it felt great!
