Today marks 10 months until I finish my PC service and come home. I definitely have a countdown - I CAN'T WAIT to be home - but I'm also using my countdown to remind me how little time I have left here and how much I still want to do. And I truly believe I CAN and WILL do it.
One of my friends has a tradition (for lack of a better word) that I have adopted. As each month ticks by, on the 11th, we drink a glass (or bottle) of wine to celebrate. And it really is a celebration of our accomplishments, what we have left to do, and that glorious moment when we get on the plane to go home.
And so, as I drink my celebratory wine...
To my friends and family in America - see you in 10 months! Inshallah.
To my friends and fellow volunteers here in the AZ - congratulations! We've accomplished a lot - and we have much yet to do. I am proud to be here, doing what we do, with each and every one of you. Mubarek 10 months!
