Family visited this weekend. My sister hadn't seen where I live yet, and my parents hadn't been here since I actually started teaching. I'm more settled than I was. More comfortable with where I am. Less stressed-out by what I'm doing. Not that I'm excellent by any means, but that I'm doing a whole lot better. That's reassuring to remember.
On Saturday, we visited one of the "local" tourist destinations. After driving two-and-a-half hours to get there (and drive around some more), I think mom and dad realize why I'm getting used to driving by myself everywhere. The 45-minute drive to their hotel didn't hurt either. I don't think I realize how much I've changed here, but adjusting to distance is still something that I'm working on.

this made me happy that you feel you're better adjusted than when you first started. :)
and i know how you feel about goodbyes. they are so not fun. but i suppose you have to say goodbye in order to say hello to somewhere else.
thinking of you. hugs.
