It was an exhausting day today. From beginning to end, given it actually started Sunday night and it is not expected to finish any time soon. An hour delay on the flight does not help the case and this is only boarding time, as who knows when we take off, even less when we land. I need to put my thoughts in order, get ready for a productive night but also think of so many things at the same time: a presentation, the closing of the year, new staff, new plans perhaps a new house. My brain clearly accuses lack of sleep and each time I start to just stop and think it will confuse my thoughts in the highway of multiple urgent and non important things it wants to do. So I write, since writting helps me put things in its place, and hoping it will also take the confusion away..
It's been a while, I know. But time is really a precious asset and I have not been leveraging on it well enough... But today I did and I am proud. I threw all the plans out of the window and took the irrefusable offer I was made "Do you want to go flying today?". How does no work as an answer there? Here is one of the c. 30 airplanes you could see there. First reaction from our pilot: "Why are all these planes here, don't people realize it is an amazing day for flying?". Well, I had not untill he told me so! But the best is still to come, as the only girl in the group I got to ride in the front, get first view in take-off, listen to the radio of the air control all the time (we get Boston airport frequency), check the map, speeds, everything... I guess throughout the way we were some quiet passengers, in the wonders of realizing you are on air, the curiosity of identifying different places and the struggle to take the best pictures as we pass the Harvard...
