I think this may be like childbirth. You forget how painful it is until you try to do it again.

We have been in the process of getting ready to renew our NGO and finalizing our reports for this last year and quarter. It sounds simple but little things like “the format is not the one we want,” “you didn’t put a place for our signature,” etc.  This makes me long to come back to the time of emails or even faxes!  No matter, I really am more adjusted and understand some of the reasons for the problems. I’ve just learned to expect that something that may take me an hour at home will take at least five days here.

I have had some fun time watching our ladies bloom and realizing that lives really can be changed. I even took the whole night off on Tuesday and turned off my phone and read a book. Just what I needed. I’m down to my last week here and there is always more in life I want to do.
