At school this morning our instructor set our intentions for the day. She asked that we focus on happiness, smiling, the ability to really focus and be present today. She told us as our program is nearing an end we need to not think of our last week and a half as a downhill slope, but rather an uphill climb to soak up as much as we could and finish strong.
It was perfect for us to hear this morning. Then it hit me, I only have one week ( and two days) left. This weekend is my last "real" weekend in this apartment. My actual last weekend is booked, I am taking another training all day Saturday and I move out of my apartment Sunday October 16th. Now that I barely have any time left here I am finally figuring out my way around. I know where I am going. I only get flipped off in Denver traffic once a week instead of daily.
I am going to miss this apartment. It feels like home, more like home than anywhere I've been the last year. I will miss this area, with it's beautiful views, cute downtown within walking distance and the safeness I feel here.
I am going to miss the amazing people I have gotten to know, the amazing friends I have gained. This time away gave me so much, strength, growth, education, solace. I have nearly found me again. I can't wait to see my kids and squeeze them, but I will miss all this.
I have thought about going camping this weekend, I at least need a day in the mountains. They bring me peace and revive me. I will be back sooner rather than later. I have some practicum hours I need to get, exit interviews, the EMBLEX to take. I have had lodging offered during the times I am back, but it will not be the same as when I am here in this little apartment that feels like home.
