New York & First Thoughts About Camp Mighty
Wednesday, November 21, 2012 at 2:00AM 
Total brutal honesty?
I'm exhausted and I've barely had time to think about Camp Mighty since I left for New York. But I have been sneaking moments to read other recaps from Mindy, Sandra, Michelle, Lindsay, and a few others. Reading their words makes me feel so thankful that I had that opportunity to connect with such wonderful women before leaving home and my family for yet to be determined amount of time during the holidays.
At Camp Mighty, I felt like I could be completely me - in all ways. It was okay to be shy and nervous and also do that ridiculous gangnam style dance at the space party. I'm also clutching on to something that one of my favorite speakers talked about; not letting your situation define you. I'm sad, really sad, being away from home right now - I live for this time of year at home and this year it's just not in the cards. But, Derreck was right, I can't let my situation define me.
So here's to trying to enjoy and benefit from my time in New York as much as possible! I'll try to knit more, stretch and sit each day, take baths, visit Purl Soho, pet a Vizsla, spend some time in the Museum of Natural History, and most importantly, try to find a way to see my mom (she lives sort of near Albany) and give her lots of hugs.

Great goals! I especially like that last one! ;-)
nyc can be fun if you let it be! welcome :)
Did you get my fb message? Aviva said contact away- even if it's not about SandyBaggers, you should contact her- she will immediately make you happy. Seriously, she's one of those people (I need to get her to come to mighty). Also, go ice skating and check out the holiday windows if they're up already! (Can you tell I'm living vicariously here?) Good luck out there lady, and it was fabulous getting to know you!
@Linz yes! just have barely had a chance to look at it yet! :-) Working 12 hour days at the moment - but at least we're getting tomorrow off! A bit of a breather. I'm going to venture into Manhattan tomorrow, so we'll see where that leads me :-) It was so great meeting you at Camp Mighty!
