Yes, I know it's not actually Friday...but had I posted on Friday it would have been representative only of my delirium after 20-ish hours of travel to get home from Helsinki. Photos to follow, I promise, once I'm settled back in a bit. I haven't finished unpacking yet, mostly because Tucker is "guarding" my suitcase and won't get off of it.
Today I am trusting that summer is actually going to end one of these days. I know, some of you love summer. Let's just say that I don't and that's one of the reasons I eagerly left Texas (it's really hard to miss Texas summer). I'm hopeful the hint of changing aspen trees I saw up by Park City 10 days ago are cause for hope. I am ready, ready, READY for Fall- especially after walking 16 miles today mostly in 80+ degree temps.
Today I am grateful for some amazing experiences this week. Helsinki was fabulous, particularly our "girl surgeon" sauna night that was hosted by a Finnish surgeon at her summer home. My only regret is that I didn't make it over to Tallinn for a day. It's a reason to go back, right? In spite of being a long, long travel (especially with a hiccup in Amsterdam yesterday) it was a wonderful week. I'm fortunate to have these opportunities and some wonderful friends to share them with.
Today I am inspired by John Fullbright. He plays piano. He writes incredible songs. He is 25 years old...and insanely talented. Exhibit A ("reluctant love song"):
Hope you are grateful and inspired from wherever you are...
