Under the wire

With a self-imposed goal of "one post per month" I have achieve 25%. We have done better on some of our other goals this year. Last New Year's I was in Europe (well, London), but living in Africa (well, Morocco). This year, I am in Oregon, but living in Europe (Germany, precisely).

It has been a year of mobility, of consolidating belongings from two continents to a third, of learning a new set of rules for a new job, and another for a new culture.

It has been exciting. It has been difficult. It has been fun. It has been stressful. Todd Whitaker said, "Change is inevitable; growth is optional." It has been a year of change, and a year of growth, for me and my family.
