Last Night in Boston.

My week in Boston is coming to a close. It has been a week that was so good for me on many different levels.

First...professionally, our research project on the Creative Therapies (art, play, music) was exceptionally well-attended today, and I received so much positive feedback about my session. It was good to have validation for the work we have put into this research project.

Personally, this has been a week where I had the opportunity to spend chunks of time just resting, reading, seeing historical sites, and just enjoying a change of pace. I am very much a person who needs my alone time to ponder, write, think, reflect and rest, and this time this week was good medicine for my spirit.

Relationally, this week was a good time to reconnect with my graduate school mentor. It was a time to reflect on my family relationships, to think about the changes that have been introduced into our family with homeschooling, and make a game plan for the rest of the winter/spring.

My suitcase is packed. I just have to pick up a few souvenirs for the kids tomorrow morning and then I am off to the airport. I have loved my time in Boston; it is the type of city that I could see myself living in....if I was to ever move to a big city, which I won't. Nevertheless, I have thoroughly enjoyed being here and look forward to bringing the family back here someday.
