12 Days Left

It’s pretty crazy, but I will be leaving for Mongolia in 12 days. I am working on my packing list and spending a lot of time with my family and friends, but most of all I am trying to stay aware of the present moment and appreciate every little thing that happens around me (such as the month-old kitten which happens to be asleep here on my shoulder). It is a little daunting to pack for two years, but it is comforting to know that the most important thing that I am bringing is myself...oh yeah, and the computer, and base layers...
