I’m counting down- to many things- Black Friday- Thanksgiving- Christmas- our trip home for the holidays. That’s last on the list- but certainly not the least thought of. In fact- it’s on the forefront of my mind as I’ve been packing and arranging the past days getting everything ready for the trip.
It’s going to be different this year- People I’ve enjoyed seeing in the past, I won’t see this trip- and in some ways I feel a tinge of sadness about it- but I know the importance of letting people walk away when they want to go. I am not one to look back, nor am I one to conform myself to be manipulated just to suit someone elses desire of what I should and shouldn’t be doing. I accept people for who they are- and if they can’t reciprocate- that’s A-OK with me!
This change is not a bad thing- it’s just a different thing. There are family members who I hoped to see and spend some time with that have passed away, but I know that things are as they are supposed to be- I embrace that and know that the time spent with everyone else will be extra sweet.
Counting down til lift-off and I can’t wait.
