Feeling Indifferent

Lately I have been feeling indifferent... It is the kind of thing that I think is natural when you know you are leaving your current job and country to go somewhere else and do something different. There have been days where I just go though the motions: nothing is really bad nor is it really good. I am not depressed in any way... but would just like to get excited about something. I have a trip coming up during spring break and perhaps that will get me going a bit. I've been keeping a gratitude list at work on my computer that I started a couple years ago as well. Being grateful has always been a way of keeping myself grounded. Living overseas is a bit tough at times because there are always moments that you need for family to be around-even if it is just for a hug.
2 1/2 more months of school left and I welcome those months with a thankful and loving heart (even if I am indifferent!)

Spring Break & Istanbul

This Monday I will be landing in Istanbul at 3:00 AM. Dave and I were going to just take a bus transfer into the city but opted for a hotel pickup instead. It will cost more but we also have realized that as we get older we go for comfort rather than saving a few dollars. Dave has never been to Istanbul before so I am excited to show the city to him.
Back in 2003 my sister and I went to Turkey on the way home from Kuwait. Not only did we visit Istanbul but also Bodrum, Pamukkale, Ephesus, and Oludeniz in the south. My favorite memories were of the pottery studios, the small, quaint little towns, as well as paragliding in the south. This time, it will be much cooler than when we visited. Yahoo weather predicts the high of 50's or so. Geez... Hope my thin skin can handle that as coming from Kuwait to there will be tough going.
