January 3, 2019

2019.  Seems so weird to type those numbers.  I have a lot to be grateful for  when I consider 2018.  So much happened, it's difficult to keep track of it all.  Good and Bad.  Ups and Downs. Life.  Adventures, Mishaps.  Health, illness. Every event is a contrast. I am still learning how to live life; growing, evolving, struggling, succeeding...

I am grateful for so much that happened and that I made happen in 2018.  I traveled to Paris for the first time, on my way to live in China! I hiked across mountains in the colonized part of Tibet, now known as Western Sichuan.  I hiked higher than I have ever hiked before!  I hiked longer than I have ever hiked before!  Those 4 weeks in the Autonomous Prefectures of Tibet were some of the most amazing adventures of my life!  

I have made new friends.  I am slowly, oh so slowly, learning Mandarin, and some Tibetan!  I have a new TCM doc who I find very intuitive and knowledgeable - a perfect match for me.  I am bonding with my students.  I have a new treadmill.  

​I have intentions set for 2019.  I have written goals as well.  I want it to be a good year.  And so it shall!
