Home Is Where the Heart Is

Change is often difficult.

I’ve been in my new apartment now for one month… Boy, time has flown. I won’t lie, I was pretty anxious there for many weeks leading up to my move away from the house that had been my home for 17 years. I had lots of varying questions running thru my mind…

Did I pick the right place?

Will I have enough space?

Am I going to like my new neighbors?

Will they like me?

Will it be quiet enough to enjoy my evenings outside?

Did I make the right decision to move?

Surprisingly the answer to all these and many more are a resounding, YES!

I love my new place! I have plenty of space for the family and even extended family to come together and share a meal. My neighbors are great! It is oh so quiet and peaceful here. I know I made the right decision.

The one sure thing about life is things will change. But change really is what you make of it, and for me, this change is good. I look forward to this next chapter of my life with great anticipation and great hope.

I would say the only things I miss are being closer to my friends, family and neighbors just stopping by, and my nights on my swing. But my people still come by often and I have a cozy new bench with a big fluffy pillow to prop up on in the evenings. The rest of it, I am content without.

Home is where the heart is… It sounds so cliche when the anxiety is flowing and doubts plague you. And I am beyond thankful God didn’t allow the anxiety and doubt to overtake the change that was so needed.

Thank you all for your prayers and encouragements. They worked! For I am enjoying this new time, in my new place, in my pseudo new life. And I can honestly say with a great big smile on my face… my heart is happily home.
