A feeling of belonging, *cue Disney Hercules music* it’s what I
want 99% of the time. AmeriCorps gives
me that. The program kicks my butt, but
it gets me. During our orientation at HQ
I knew I was in for something special when I saw Firefly characters on our
lockers. For those of ya that are curious,
I had Shepard Book. Then there are the
cool people you get to work with. Last
week when we were on our 11 day I forgot my lunch on one occasion and everyone
on my team contributed something from their own lunches to help me make a
meal. Everyone looks out for each other
here; we are like a family and if there is ever a place we belong in this
world, it is with our families.
My family away
from home hiked some of the Ozark trails today.
Our team leader of the week, Will, was called away to help another group
so Liz took charge. We traversed and
cleared a good 3 miles of very scenic trail before returning to our
lodging. It was a good day—slower paced
and dangerously close to being relaxing.
Even so I am incredibly weary. I
hope you are all doing well! Good night!
