I left Vermont on July 3rd. But the process of leaving began long before that.

There were responsibilities that needed to be passed off to others. Students that needed to be told. “Things” that needed to be donated or given away. Lakes that needed to be paddled in the sunshine. The cat that needed a vaccination update. Next steps that needed to be planned…loosely. And a mountain that needed to be summited one more time.

And it was foggy.

But here’s the thing…I don’t mind the fog. The fog is a reminder that there is a world out there beyond what you can see. Maybe there’s a castle. Maybe there are unicorns.

Whatever it is, you can let your imagination run wild with the limitless potential. When I was on the cusp of something new and different, the fog was a beautiful reminder:

Although I can’t see what’s just ahead, I can believe that it will be something wonderful.
