Since having come home, it has been rough to say the least. I came back early on a Tuesday morning, so it was straight to work. The college aged retreat came in that Friday afternoon. It was a good weekend to start the year with. Our theme, was Following your star - a discernment retreat. Although I was staffing, and not technically a participant, I got just as much out of the weekend as the retreatants did. It was a great experience, and the group was fantastic. I got to meet a lot of the "legacy" families from the retreat center.
On the other hand, emotionally; I was struggling. I'm not sure if it was the cold, the distance, or the simple matter of distance that was getting to me, but each day was harder than the one before. Thankfully, I have been able to move past those thoughts and feelings and realize that I need to take full advantage of the time that I have here. These moments are temporary and before I know it I'll be back home with my family, my Alegra and of course back in the arms of my love.
