This is one of my all time favorite sayings. I first saw it years ago in an airport on fancy dancy stationary cards. Though I didn't buy the cards, I logged the words into the sentimental rolodex that is my brain.
Since I was 23 years old, I have been a bigger girl than most. If you count paying a mortgage as big, that is. My parents have helped me a TON along the way with generous gifts and painting, yard and furniture improvements and I could not have done it without them. But as I look around on my last night here, I can't help but think, wow- I'm leaving the first big, adult thing I have ever done. And while living in the boonies was not filled with thrills and zest, that's ok. I'm thankful for my time here, as I learned a lot about myself and how to be happy and independent.
Good thing I have had a lifetime love for PB&J, as quite often that served as my affordable dinner here, while saving money for the weekly treat of a Quizno's sub and shopping trips to American Eagle for new jeans. My tastes have changed tenfold from then, thank goodness, but they are humble reminders ,for sure :)
I'm moving to the city tomorrow to live with Stacey, my other sister, separated only by different parents and a few years. It's exciting, a new adventure. We're both changing channels, finding new ways to fill our sails and the end our comfort zones.
