crazy.

Today marks four months since arriving at NPH. Hold the telefono. One-third of my time here is done?! When did that happen? While time in general seems to pass at a normal pace, the days, weeks, and even months seem to zip by. Over these past few months, I have truly become comfortable with my life here. The section of 5 to 9 year old boys has turned into my boys. The volunteer house has become home. Relationships with other volunteers have turned into treasured friendships. The teenage girls have started calling me patito, or duckling, for my pigeon-toed way of walking (aka now I know I'm "in" haha). And the way to truly know I'm comfortable somewhere? My ridiculous dance moves have made an appearance. Ok, let's be honest.. multiple appearances!

If I'm reminded of anything today, it's to live in the moment and cherish every memory. Time is limited and won't last forever. As a quote lover, I came across one in particular that stuck with me. "Breathe it all in. Love it all out." Isn't that a beautiful approach to life, friendship, and every second of every day? :)
