Half way....

Sadly my seasonal job is half over; it doesn't seem like I have been here 2 1/2 months.  As I ponder all that I have done since I have been here; I can't help but feel a twinge of emotion.   I am so greatful for a great boss, and some amazing co-workers and friends.  We all work very hard, our jobs are not easy at all.  Even though I leave work every evening exhausted;  I look forward to going to work the next day.  Even with some of the difficulties I have had since coming here (sore ankles, blisters, aching feet, and a knee that doesnt always work right...it all comes with old age) I am still glad I took this job, and am considering doing it again next year.  Maybe I am just plain crazy, or still searching for that great moment when I realize despite all my imperfections I did something pretty amazing.    Yes I have my moments when I miss my kids, and my grandkids terribly; But then I pick myself up and march onward.  Since coming to Alaska I have learned so much about myself, and I have pushed myself way beyond what I thought I was capable of, and am looking forward to many more of those moments.
