there's no greater power than the power of goodbye

I heard that twice this morning in the car. Sometimes, it is easier if I don't think of it as myself, if I step back and watch things like a movie. Then, when the radio works and the soundtrack fits, everything is beautiful. Disassociation at its finest.

Father Keith is leaving, transferring to College Station. I'm sad he won't be here when I come back. Hopefully I will be back in time to see the new priest be ordained. I said many goodbyes this morning after Mass, to all the wonderful people there. Steve has promised me a spot on the RCIA team. When I come back, the wildflowers will probably be gone.

My mother made me cinnamon rolls this morning, instead of a birthday cake. This is better I think. Played with the new kitten, and my cats. I wish I could take them with me, for when I feel sad. My poor fluffy calico will be unhappy when I don't show up next weekend. I'm going to see them the day I leave though, since my mother is taking me to the airport. Once I give my car to Deb on Saturday morning, I'll have her drop me at my mother's house.

So many things I have to do. It's overwhelming.

I'm sure you will have an excellent time! Don't be sad - its an opportunity of a lifetime. Will you be updating your journal while you're gone?

I'm not sure. Depends on if I find a place to do so, a net cafe or some place.

Think positive. You'll have fun. :> And there will be good scholarship news in the mail when you get home. :>
