I am packing my bags again, this time to go to Germany
for a week. Since I have been complaining about the direct flights from Raleigh
to Los Angeles a few weeks ago, I am looking forward to travel part of my
vacation with mixed emotions.
I got plenty of advice on how not to get sick, and this
time I am hedging my bets with a combination of Airborne and tea tree oil. The agenda
on the other side of the Atlantic will not be as hectic as going to a
conference. I will spend three days with a dear friend who has three dogs, and
I am anticipating long walks and even longer talks.
After that, I will go to the city of Hannover where I
grew up and lived until the age of 26. UP to my mother’s death two years ago, I
went often. This visit will probably be my last, and I hope to see a good
number of friends.
Another much anticipated event is my 40th High
School Reunion. I had little contact with old class mates except for one person,
and while I look forward to meet them again, I dearly hope that I will see some
of my teachers. It’s such a shame that one has to be at least 25 years out of
school to truly value what they have done and how they have influenced one’s
life. I could never have imagined 40 years ago that I would be sitting here in
Raleigh, NC, writing a blog, having had an 18 year career with IBM, and now being
in my 18th year as a fitness trainer.
Time flies ……..
