Beginning again




A big move for my family and I a few months back has kept me quite busy getting settled so I have not been able to Blog about creative escapes because I really have not done much of that. My energies have been spent in adapting to a whole new environment. 
Jumping through the hoops of a cross country relocation is exhausting. Moving away from family and friends is exhausting. Helping my children adapt to a new home, new school, and new neighborhood is exhausting.  It is an exciting adventure but I am finding myself a bit numb. Lots of questions running through my mind and I am so used to having all of the answers. Before the move I was totally in my element.  My compass has been shook up. 


                                          Is it really time to go
                                          So hard to leave
                                          Goodbyes to all that was
                                           In the place i knew so well

Our lives in boxes
Organized chaos
Headed down a new road
To our future
Sounds so far away
   But it is not

                                           Anxious excitement
                                           New possibilities
                                           Beautiful air
                                           Wishful chances

                                           Beginnings
                                           Starting again
                                          Where are we
                                          Who are we
                                          Who am I
                                          What do I do
                                          What do I not do
                                          How to begin
                                           Begin
                                           Begin
                                           And begin again & again.

There is alot of time to adjust and that is what we will continue to do. With challenges we grow and we are all in this together. I am so grateful for the small blessings each new day brings. I have found wonderful new neighbors, rekindled an old friendship, and am embracing our new home of Texas, where the stars shine bright.
