A lot of things have happened since the last time I wrote… I actually made decisions!! Can you believe it?! Mason and I have moved, I started a new job and basically started a new chapter. I had been so “stuck” for the past three years that I forgot what is was like to do things for myself. To make decisions on my own and to ultimately have my own life again.
I hate to admit it, but it was really hard to get unstuck. There were days where I just wanted to give up and run back to Florida and continue to go through the motions. But I refused to let myself and choose to be stronger than fear itself.
I think the days that it has been the hardest, is when the cold succumbs us. Those are the days I miss mine and Mason’s walks to the park or on the beach. I miss laying in the grass and feeling the warmth of the sunshine on my skin. I haven’t found something to replace this missing desire that I have had to feel the warmth again.
Maybe I need to find a hobby for Mason and me? Something to satisfy us the same way our walks in Florida did. Maybe somewhere to hike to or somewhere we can find peace and tranquility.
Even though we are still missing this feeling of warmth, being in Kentucky closer to home, is worth every decision/sacrifice/heartache I have went through to be here. And the only way I have made it through this process is by following my heart.
If anyone lives in Louisville, KY, I would love for you to share some ideas for activities for Mason and I 🙂
