To
exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating
oneself endlessly. – Henri Bergson
Be
thankful for today, because in one moment, your entire life could change. –

Wake up
each day and be thankful for life. – Anonymous
Today (Saturday
November 19, 2022) is one year since I boarded an airplane in Washington, DC to
move home to Texas. It was not an easy decision and I definitely
questioned if it was right. However as I said when I announced it on my
blog, my family in Texas is all I have left and I need to be close to
them.
In the last year, my
sister and I have shared joint custody of the most adorable 10lb dog that we
inherited from our father and then our mother. Anyone can compete with us
to who has the most spoiled dog and I think we will win!
When I first returned
back to Texas, I rented a house for 6 months and then I bought a nice little
place that is close to the Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base. Almost
daily, I see jets flying while I work in my reading nook.
Over the last year, I
have found some great organizations to get involved with and volunteered at
including the Fort Worth Livestock Show, Life Church-Fort Worth, Fort Worth
A&M Club and a few others things along the way. Lastly, I have visited
about 50 new places in Texas that I had not before.
I am grateful and
thankful for an amazing sister and the many wonderful opportunities I have
had. Everything has turned out well for me since I made the move.
ACTION: As Thanksgiving is Thursday, take time to
think about the family and friends you will be around and find reason to be
thankful for them. While spending time together, tell them why you are
thankful for them.
