Life continues.  I question the validity in my writing.  I question if people will be interested.  I trust in the interest or disinterest in anyone who may or may not read this blog now that I am no longer in Mexico.

Daniel and I are in Michigan.  We are visiting my parents.  We have met a dog trainer and received some guidance on raising our pack of puppies.  I find it challenging and fun, scary and exciting.

Being back in the states is, in my perception, a curious experience.  I am excited to recall experiences in Mexico, and not certain how to do this or with whom to do this.  I wonder if I need to do more personal journaling to recall my experiences.  And so many things are old and new to me here.  Doing dishes with running water…taking a bath…flushing toilet paper…snow…cooking inside…talking to people…

My experience in Mexico certainly added bits to me that I was not previously aware of.  It raised new questions in my mind.  I learned.  and learned. and learned.

And I do not miss searching for scorpions.  I can fall asleep whenever and wherever.  I can lay on the floor and put my hand under my pillow in the middle of the night.

yet so many things I do miss as well.

I am content.  and curious.  and fearful.  and excited.

In a week from tomorrow we intend to make our ways out to the farm.  and tomorrow night we intend to attend a party.  I feel fearful and excited to imagine myself interacting with an abundance of my peers (whatever that means…).

fun fun fun.
