It's easy for me to live for 2 weeks from now. I am working to consciously live in the present and find moments of joy in each day as I live in the "now", instead of already living in the future. Though there are certainly many stressful and anxious moments as we prepare to leave, there are gems too - the last times shared with dear friends and our families, spending time with Ada and watching her grow and learn and develop. Living life daily with Ada certainly reminds me to live in the present, as she does.

In 2 weeks...
In just 2 weeks, we will be in the midst of our journey back to Papua New Guinea. In 2 weeks all the packing will be done. In 2 weeks all the goodbyes will be said. In 2 weeks many tears will have been shed. In 2 weeks Ada will have already celebrated her 1st birthday. In 2 weeks all the items on our long "to do" list won't matter anymore, whether they got done or not.

praying for you during these last few days. it is a good prayer to be in the moment when so much lies in the future. the more you have your hearts open to the endings, the more ready you will be to leave well. we love you.
