Change is the only constant.
You can be afraid of change. You can resist change. You can try to avoid change.
Or you can embrace it.
Nothing stays the same no matter how hard we try. Just as a river is ever-moving and constantly changing so are our lives. Embracing change allows us to fully discover the possibilities that come with that change. It enables us to create more opportunities and create and reach even more life goals than if we stayed stagnant.
We are in midst of change right now. I’ll be honest it took me a bit to embrace the change, but there is always a bright side. This year we setting down some roots for a bit in a place we never thought we would and at a time we weren’t exactly planning on it, but nonetheless here we are.
The past 2 years traveling in our RV and the year before that traveling a few places but having no real “home base” have been absolutely amazing. We embraced the unconventional life and spent so much time making memories and having adventures together. It was what we needed to heal from the trauma of my Sudden Cardiac Arrest.
It was what I needed.
However, the seasons have changed and we felt the need to settle down somewhere for several different reasons. The biggest one, which dictated our location, was Shawn’s work: now that they opened a central office he needed to be there more and his work travel schedule had picked up which made our personal travel schedule that much harder to navigate.
So here we are in house in a neighborhood in the Midwest. This past week we skied as a inaugural family adventure of our new chapter. There are tons of adventures awaiting and a huge area of the US we have not yet explored in our backyard, so while we are not on the road at the moment we will still be focusing on making memories together and making our own adventures here in our new town. We are embracing this new chapter, this change.
