The Best of Times. :)

“They were the best of times. They were the worst of times.”
- Charles Dickens

I think Dickens must have been a Peace Corps Volunteer. Or at least he knew a few… Because my life in Peace Corps is breathtakingly priceless, painstakingly frustrating, over-flowing with joy and laughter, full of disappointment and tears, absolutely rewarding, occasionally mundane, breathtaking when you least expect it, and confounding in it’s ability to teach you something new about yourself EVERY single day… And through it all, it’s the occasional, seemingly-insignificant gatherings, birthday celebrations, and chance-encounters with my Peace Corps family, that keep me going!
