"When you begin to think outside the box, you often become some other "leaders" lousy follower. That usually costs something" (Andy Rayner)

"Our guardian angels are bored." (Mike Foster)

It's where I feel I'm at these days. “In the second half of life, it is good just to be a part of the general dance. We do not have to stand out, make defining moves, or be better than anyone else on the dance floor. Life is more participatory than assertive, and there is no need for strong or further self-definition” (Falling Upward. Richard Rohr.120).

Reading Peace Corps Journals is A Blast!

There is a great iPhone/iPad/iPod. App called "PcJournals". It lists every country where the US has PC workers. It shows all the blogs of all the workers and tells you when they have updated. Of course I have been enjoying the Mali, West Africa blogs.
Some of the workers have been there a while (normally serve 2 yr terms). Others have just arrived.
However, the stories and encounters they share in print are amazingly interesting and hilarious to read and follow. For example, this first impression posted today by a girl just arriving for her PC Mali assignment. Too funny!

"My first impression of Peace Corps – two dozen scared faces clutching blue invitation kits."
