There are good triggers, and bad triggers. Well, I suppose the triggers themselves are neutral, it’s the response that is either positive or negative. I had a couple of triggers lead to a nice warm and fuzzy feeling this morning.
I forgot my breakfast at work. I remembered that I had a fruit cup in the fridge so I pulled off the top and began eating. As I took about my third bite I was transported back to Siegen, Germany. This fruit medley was very similar to the one I had each morning with a cup, or two, of coffee. I also have the faint smell of the lotion I used this morning – the same kind I used in Berlin last year. So, needless to say this day has begun with a longing for Germany stirred in my heart. I’m ready to go, but it’s so surreal to me still that I struggle to walk toward it. I think there’s a part of me that still doesn’t believe it’s going to happen.
I realize I still haven’t posted pictures from the trip. Sorry. I was planning on throwing a link in here to flickr, but I have yet to pay the money to them to have more than ten photos saved there. Maybe I’ll try and post a few here in the meanwhile.
Auf Wiedersehen
