I had to change things up a bit. I thought changing the title of this blog would be a good idea for several reasons. I don´t think the Peace Corps would be cool with me including their organization´s name in my blog title. And now I realize that I only called this blog my Peace Corps journey because I couldn´t think of anything else to call it. Now I think experience has led me to something more meaningful.
I´m closing in on six months in Panamá, and my time here has been filled with ups and downs. Unfortunately, I´ve gotten frustrated because of things I cannot change. Even after writing posts about lessons I´ve learned, it has taken longer than that for them to sink in. Slowly, I´m learning that I should simply do the best I can within the limitations of my surroundings. I can still hope for the best, set lofty goals, and work to make them a reality. However, if something isn´t meant to be, there´s nothing that getting worked up can do about it. I still plan to dream, but I am now more rooted in the potential of my community, and the country in general. I´m trying to be more pragmatic about my goals. So I´ve got my feet on the ground, but I´m still looking to the sky.
