Things We're Looking Forward To

Our expectations for the sabbatical range somewhere between modest and humongous.  This is uncharted territory so we don't know for sure what it will be like. We're comfortable with uncertainty. What will be, will be.

For sure, there are some things we are looking forward to:

•   Being able to spend intentional quality time with each other and with our families. 

•   Visiting places we've never been. Seeing sights we've only read about in our travel guides.

•   Concentrating time and attention on non-work activities such as reading, listening to music and exercising.

•   Not having to worry so much about schedules and deadlines.

•   Having evenings together. Having weekends together. This is one of our major challenges as a working couple.

•   Taking full advantage of Pittsburgh in the summer and fall - concerts in the park, hikes in the woods, exploring museums, discovering new restaurants.  Being able to take day trips to Ligonier, Hidden Valley and other Western Pennsylvania treasures.

•   Awakening parts of us that have been neglected. Learning new skills. Renewing and revitalizing body, mind and soul.  

Our adventure begins in California just one short week away. Do you have a blessing to send us on our way? We'd love to hear it.
