think first, then speak...

I've sat down to write this blog about a dozen times... I've even uploaded pictures...

all to no avail and I erase and close the tab that my blog is open on. It's not like there isn't lots of fun things to tell you about. Hakone, funny quotes, BEST club, my thoughts, pictures, etc. etc.... See? Plenty.

It's just that I can't quite seem to gather my thoughts and process them to put together a blog interesting enough to post.

Here I am... three weeks (and some change) from the end of my time in Japan.
Do you really for the next three weeks wanna hear stories about how one day I'm crying over leaving and the next day I'm laughing? Do you really want to hear all the fears that I have at the moment, only to read the next day all the scripture that God gave me to combat that fear?

Everyone wants to do, eat, and experience the things I want to do, eat, and experience as my "last"... what's something you want to eat before you leave? Somewhere you want to travel before you leave? Something you want to do?

...and yet, I don't want my life in the next three weeks to look any differently. I want the next three weeks to look like the 2 1/2 years that prefaced it... hmmm.

To summarize... I'm here. I want to share my life with you.

I just don't know how to tell you.
