New Beginnings

This is the first day of the rest of your life.

Catchy phrase. Looks great on posters, greeting cards. Sounds great when you hear it.

There have only been a few days when I believed that this was true. My high school graduation, my wedding, the birth of my daughter. I wept, or seeped as K likes to say, at all of those, like today. But then smiles. I think rainbows should appear around peoples faces as they smile and weep at the same time.

So it begins today traveling to Detroit, Amsterdam, Entebbe and then Juba. And I will be taking a snowman with me. Look for him.
