Almost Ready to go!

Hello to All

Bags are packed, well nearly, ready to go...leaving on the jet plane Sunday. Then to Albania.

I am so excited to begin this adventure. It sounded like such a great plan 2 years ago. The last few weeks I have come to realize that the regularity of life is about to change. Many emotions and many goodbyes have flooded me. Special thanks to all who listened during the long medical clearance. Now the day is nearly here. Of course, I know that I will miss you all. But I think this is the best plan. I keep singing one of the songs our choir has been singing this year - GO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. In my head, I keep hearing the full choir and we are clapping together!

I say all of this because I have been so supported. What a wonderful party Thomas, Margaret and in abstencia Mary and David gave. On Sunday the choir gave me a beautiful reception. I was overwhelmed with so many OLV people coming to support and gift me. WOW!!
And to receive a special blessing makes me realize that during my coming challenges, I have that support. I am taking the gifts and cards for those moments when I want to feel close to Central Ohio.

The next time I write will be from Albania. Ready for some incredible life changes and I hope to share some of this with you.

Margaret
