Day 000 - Michael's Perspective...

Michael's Perspective...

While Bonnie and I have been friends for only about 5 years, it's seemed more like a lifetime. Today I said farewell for at least a little while to Bonnie at JFK as she departed. I managed to meet some of her fellow Peace Corps educators and they seem to be an energetic bunch.

While looking at this crew of volunteers, it reminded me of the beginning of my time abroad in Russia, and while I felt mostly sad for myself at Bonnie's departure, I was happy knowing that this would be a new chapter and an incredible adventure for her, as it was for me. Such is life.

While I'm not a noble or giving a person as Bonnie, I promised her that I would try to make myself a better person while she was away.

I wish her well.

More later as it comes...
