Apprehensively Intrigued

Today is my last day in London for awhile. 6 months have flown by and today I fly home to Washington DC. The feeling is strange, it's somewhere between nostalgic and apprehensively intrigued, if that makes any sense. There are many things I'm looking forward to, and many things I'll miss. I'm most looking forward to spending time with family and friends! I think it might feel strange to drive on the right side, even though I've done it for decades. There's an interesting feeling that things I've looked at for decades will look and feel much different now. Such a learning experience!

From a work perspective, I attended an internal conference this week. It was excellent in that I learned a few things and I met many great people. From a content perspective, I learned that almost everyone (regardless of their function/ program/role) is beginning to see the challenge and value of knowledge management, admittedly they're typically seeing it through a talent management lens though.

For my last dinner in London I walked in to town, in the rain, of course. I ate at my favorite restaurant which serves my favorite curry in England, which I suppose might be the best curry in the world? The walk home felt quite strange as I was thinking that I'm heading out, as opposed to heading in to a journey. Just to confuse myself further, I'm sure it's just the beginning of the next journey, and of course the journeys learn from each other and weave together.

Now it's the morning of the last day and I'm taking the walk across the London bridge. What a view. What a place. And today was the first time that free wifi worked on the train! Improvements come everyday :)

I paused to smell this flower today. Awesome
