And finally it is done...

Yesterday I sent an email off to camp letting them know that I have decided to spend my summer some place else. I had talked to someone at camp a few weeks ago. It was nice to talk with someone who knows what a unique experience it is. We talked for about 20 minutes. It sounded like a job was mine if I wanted it. After some additional thought I decided not to go further on in the hiring process. I have come to believe that this process has been a good one. Something that has helped me and allowed me to explore my "what if" thoughts.
The practical part of decision was threefold. I was concerned about spending my whole summer away and doing something so similar to teaching. I am also concerned that the camp environment might not be something I fully agree with. Additionally my decision was based on something less scientific, my gut. Few times in life do I get feelings from the gut, but when I do I usually follow them. My gut feelings are thought to explain, but they are just that, from the gut. Something I can literally feel. I am certainly comfortable with my final decision and am happy the way it turned out.
With that said, I am still concerned that I made the easy decision. Because of this I am going to take up a few challenges this coming summer. I'll make a list to make it all official and try to accomplish each one. At the end of the summer I will evaluate how I did and look back on this decision to determine if it was the right one.
Looking ahead to a challenging Summer with WONDER...
