Mañana

I fly back to Seattle tomorrow, my first trip home. I'm looking forward to seeing my family and my CSJP Sisters and my dear friends. I'm looking forward to being able to open my mouth and talk without thinking about which tense the verb should be in.

I'll miss the heat, and the clicking of the gecko at night, and this house, which has also become home. I'm going to miss the day of the elections - though I will be checking in on the internet - and the celebration of Monseñor Romero on March 24th. I'll be glad to return in time for Holy Week. It's always good - and a very Lenten good - to return.
