Vanilla,

Thanks for the support and kind words.

I know the Kubler Ross cycle pretty well from when my brother died. I guess it is harder to recognize when you are in the middle of the maelstrom of emotions.

In terms of goals - I havent started the trip yet (Saturday) but am getting ready

I am still GALing and exercising a ton, went out to dinner with friends last night. I downloaded the app for the italian podcast and listened to my 1st episode last night. I also mapped out rock climbing gyms in cities throughout my trips and planned out stops for the 1st two weeks. I did yoga yesterday and a little meditation on Sunday - I am working on breathing out, visualizing, and releasing negative thoughts and anxiety as part of my mindfullness practice. I also spoke to my new IC yesterday for the first time.

Do you or any of the old hats have any thoughts on my ICs idea to create a communication schedule?
