Less than a month more than two weeks

Before leaving I went to the travel clinic and the women asked me when I was leaving for my trip.  I told her the date and she replied with "less than a month more than two weeks".  Medications and vaccines for travel are administered based on departure timing.  Her comment made me realize  that I've been envisioning my life for the last few years in brackets of time; maybe after grad school but before I'm 30, maybe I'll make more time for myself but after I find a place to live...  I've been living within these parameters for too long and searching for ways to be more present.  Yoga has done that for me.  It is not responsible for transforming me into a totally blissed out being but it usually has provided me a break between the cerebral chatter that is constantly straining my dwindling resources in my headspace.

When Natalie suggested I go study Ashtanga yoga in Mysore I thought now is finally the perfect time... So I'm sitting in Dubai and it still has not quite sunk in that I'm on my way to India.  I have taken leave from work, left my dog and some very special people behind. 

Napkin notes prior to leaving.  so far we are doing pretty good with always having snacks.
