I have always had goals. Always been on the way to achieve the plans set up. Always on my way, on the move.
I finished and passed my 10 credits class before summer. I just recently found out I was approved to start my next class for fall semester. It’s only a 5 credit class but will involve some traveling. This means I’m almost done with my education. By next summer if all goes well, I should be done. Finished.
Then what? Yeah I have to do a year of practice before I’m free to do whatever I want ,but really, I have achieved what I set out to do. I’m excited but it’s with a bit of fear too.
My time at my current workplace is soon over. I only have about 5 months left on my assignment. As much as being finished and arriving at the end of my plans is scarying me I’m much too tired of living in uncertainty. Don’t get me wrong! I love my job and the people I work with, the knowledge and care they have and share. However, I have no stability here, no way of forming roots. I feel like a running horse ready for the sprint.
Like always with us people, we love achieving, reaching the goal but it’s the actual traveling, the moment of changes that is most rewarding.
I miss you maxima! The work we did, the people, our workstyle. One of a kind! I can’t wait to start that work back up! Just all too sad we are not side by side.

Congratulations on completing your class! One more thing out of the way. Yah, it’s been a long and at times strange trip for you that took you half way around the world. I’m so proud of you!!! And I am so happy for you. I have to confess that if I had known that you had to STAY in Sweden when you were hired, I would not have told you to go. At least I imagine that in my selfish moments
I really did not realize I would not see you again for a year. It has been hard on me too. We were such a once-in-a-lifetime team. We were even completing each others sentences. But most important we knew we could count on each other no matter what. I really hated to go to work on days that you had off. icky…sneaky people with questionable ethics. It still makes my stomach turn.
(back to the present) So, you are wanting to put down roots and settle in. All things in time, you will be old soon enough. Try to enjoy the journey each step of the way. Wishing we were side by side also
