A Tough Return

Four years ago we made our way to Africa to spend four weeks there.  At that time, we felt it wasn’t too short of a trip, but also not too long.  We felt fulfilled with our time there.  This trip is different.  Returning after six weeks I’ve realized just how short the trip was.  I didn’t feel the need to get back to the states, and now being here I’m saddened that I’m not there.  My time in Africa this trip was more than fulfilling, but it’s lead me to wonder just how fulfilled I am in the states.  It’s hard to get back into the thought process of working to pay the bills, rather than working because of the satisfaction of what I’m doing.  It seems as though everything in my life is exceptional, except for the current emptiness inside of me when I think about what I’m doing for work.  I do enjoy the work that I do, I’m just not getting the sense of pride with it.  Being in Africa and seeing the need that so many people have, I realize my need to help.  How I go about that, we’ll see in time.  For now, as usual, I’ll go back to my Mac and plug away on another job. 

Africa . . . A place of beauty and wonder . . . I’ve fallen in love.
