We've been back in Indonesia for a month now and having a schedule and routine has served us well. But there's this strange feeling like I am forgetting something! For the past four weeks I haven't been able to figure it out. Until today. I have come to the conclusion that it is anxiousness. Now that we are technically going on year two here, I (we) have already conquered and hurled over every (most) unknown obstacles to be tackled when moving from a suburb in America to a mine-mountain-remote-town in the jungle of a foreign country as far away as almost possible. And that's it. My guard is now more appropriately allocated instead of full-blown, all the time. I now find ease in my step and my approach is less weighted of fear. The monkey on my back and it's heavy weight has been lifted!
Now the monkey won't ever be gone completely as I know there are always lurking unknowns (especially living in a mine-mountain-remote-town in the jungle) but such is life and a little fear and humility is always good! Expectancy (as much as it could be) has become my friend as well as Mike's, Hannah's and Mason's. We're no longer a total "dear in a head light", we are (a little more) seasoned.
Our little life here in the jungle has been amazing, stressful, unique, frustrating and a true blessing at the highest and lowest decibels.
Life, as always, continues on and the countdown forges on to our next adventure island, Fiji. We continue to look forward to seeing Asia and its surrounding countries...
