Today is my last full day in New York City. I'm excited about going to Central Park today, but I have to say that just today, I'm ready to be home. Sleep didn't go over well last night. There is so much to pour over and figure out here from subway maps and streets, to people. I am ready for restful Wheeler, AR.
I've learned something about myself while here. I love to travel and have had that itch since adolescence, however, I don't think I could live the big city life and thrive. One thing about Fayetteville is that even though I am somewhat removed living out where we do, I am looked after by those in my community who know and care about me. Here, I feel as though although surrounded by people constantly, it would be hard to truly be known. And that takes some thick skin.
To pinpoint what I have learned about myself here, it's that although I think from the outside looking in I may seem to have thicker skin than some, the truth is that I really don't. I'm tender and even sensitive. I mean I'm game and try to be a good sport and feel like most times I am. I try to tell myself to never say never. However, I can get lost so quickly. And, I don't want to be lost, ya know?
So moving on, I have had THE BEST trip to this city. I'll miss my mornings cuddled up to my hot coffee looking out onto Lexington from my hotel room. Figuring out the subway and researching what to do and when is such a fun challenge to me. I've loved it all. We're heading out just before lunch tomorrow and then to LGA. SUCK! I hate LGA. Anyway, by tomorrow night, I'll be hugging my kids and chatting with my mom. I'll be watching the Hogs on Saturday. I'll be back to my crazy-strange little life. And there you have it.
