I have officially started my new life.
That's right...I'm bona fide. I picked up my little family, packed us in a truck...with a lil help from my friends ;)...and moved us to a land far far away. Well, it felt far far away after being cooped up in a truck together for so long!
I was so scared. I thought, along with people who didn't wish me well, that I would never have the courage to do what I have just done. I thought that I would live my entire life in the place that I was born, and that thought was so sad. I have dreams, aspirations, bucket lists!! I want to see things, wander places, meet new people.....but the little homebody in my head whispered that it was too dangerous, just stay here.
So anyway, here I am. My new life is about to start, and I am very excited. I went around my new city today, and I was overwhelmed with the beauty of it. Everything is different, the air is different, the trees are different, the animals are different. I am surrounded by water, it rushes along the ground and hangs in the air...it makes the sun a huge ball of colorful fire at sunrise and sunset. I feel the pull of my mountains, and a little part of my heart grieves for them, and for the huge vistas of Colorado. But I feel happy here. It feels a bit like coming home.
So, now the saga of my life...begins? Continues? Stay tuned...
