But you know... I think 10 years of this is enough. It's time for a change.
Funny thing about me is... I love change, the newness of everything is exciting, but at the same time I get anxiety with change. Go figure.
Back at the beginning of April, my husband and I found out that he was getting transfered, from Atlanta to South Georgia. "What transfered? Leave my family, my comfort zone? I don't think so! Plus, what in the world is there to do in the boonies?" But God had better things planned for me. "Better things? In South Georgia?" I questioned God. "But what about Starbucks? And the Mall of Georgia? What about 6-8 lane highways and 24 hour grocery stores?" Then it dawned on me. I needed a change of pace.
So here I am almost 2 months later. I miss Starbucks, but I can always get a frappucino when I visit my family in ATL. The Mall of Georgia is nice, but so is the Mall of Albany (It's like comparing apples and oranges). Sure, I have had anxiety, but I am seeing the dust settle, and you know what? I like it down here. I can actually see the sky as the sun is setting, and it is beautiful. The people are great, the weather is nice, and I feel like I am finally venturing out of my comfort zone. So why mention all the things I like down here? Well the truth of the matter is, 10 years ago I wouldn't have found anything positive to say about the move. If it was something I didn't want to do then, all I could see was the negative. But doing the program and working on how I view things, has truly changed me.
Am I cured? No, but I am working on it everyday. I am a work in progress, and you know what? That's ok too. I have learned that I will never be perfect, so why stress about it? I just want to be happy with the me I am today.
So.... Look out! Here I come South Georgia!
I'm looking forard to my new life here!
