So, I am sitting in a cafe in Brooklyn. Day pack and all my gear beside me.
Wait… Did she just say Brooklyn? Yes, snow sucks and flights get cancelled. Luckily I have a place to stay and friends I get to see before I leave.
I figured this is as good a time as any to update everyone on the World Race.
I was supposed to be headed to Atlanta today. This evening we were going to begin training. I am the treasurer for my team, so I have extra responsibilities and training to complete. Training for everyone is starting tomorrow. Well, I will get there when I get there, which should be around 8pm tomorrow.
We finish training mid week and then we leave for India which is where we will spend our first month. We will be working with an organization that does a myriad of things, among them, teaches people the trades and provides education to the children of prostitutes
I was so excited to get this journey started, but sometimes life has other plans. I am choosing to look at this as practice for the World Race. I am sure there will be many times of waiting, delays and cancellations. I have to accept that there is nothing that I can do. The only thing I can do is make the most of it. I’m so excited that I get to see friends that I wasn’t expecting to see before I leave.
Yes, I am disappointed that my journey doesn’t start for another day, Atlanta and training will still be there tomorrow. All I can do is make lemons into lemonade.
