The countdown has started, only 14 days before we leave for Germany! As Juliet, our beautiful grey cat is napping right nextto me on our bed here at home, Colston Drive condo in Silver Spring for now, and my wonderful husband David is hoping at Camden Yards that the Orioles can pull off a win after trailing behind with six runs in the 7th inning (I really hope I got that baseball lingo right...), I am pondering about what it will be like to retrun to living in Germany after being gone for 13 years. Well, based on the lenght of my previous sentence, I am at least ready to re-engage with the German language and its love for looooooooooong sentences.
In all of the excitment and hullabaloo of getting ready for a major transition, I pray that the quieter moments of saying good-bye to treasured friends and colleagues will not be swallowed up by the stress that such a move brings with it.
