Now, as the old health group is leaving Nicaragua and returning to the states, it's hit me just how fast the time is flying. I have 12 months left and soooo much to accomplish during that time. So what do I do when I need to organize my thoughts. I make a list... Luckily, its partially done!
This group list was made back in December the night before I flew back to the states for vacation! Kate, Ashley, and Nelson and I sat around thinking about everything we hoped to accomplish over the last 15months of our Peace Corps Service. It was a nice way to close out the year- drinking wine, laughing and chatting with friends about good memories and ending the night excited about all the great adventures we'll have in the year to come!
My motto for the next year- Carpe Diem!
THIS = Already Accomplished!
