My gypsy feet are dancing more often again these days. Whenever the wanderlust hits and I crave changes, it becomes more of a challenge for me to appreciate where I am. This Labor Day weekend, I took a spur of the moment trip to New York City for one day only. Walking among the tall, beautiful buildings, seeing such diversity, listening to the traffic... it was all I could do to just find a job right then and relocate into a new adventure. The funny thing is though, that when I got back into DC, I looked around as we drove past the embassies, the statues, the row houses and I felt like I was home again. Vansa, who has lived in both cities, said that the city looked magical. She's right. It did. DC might not have the same energy, bustle, and pure excitement of New York, but Washington is like magic. There is a certain charm to it. It is delightfully contradicting in nature, and it's really not such a bad place to be at all. It is time to mix things up again, I know, but that can be done without having to leave this place again. Plus, I've got some pretty good things and new, exciting adventures going on right here, right now. I am still moving forward. I am still challenging myself and learning all the time. Right now, I am right where I'm supposed to be -- DC.
