We Go Where the Wind Takes Us

A new home...{A new life}

You never know where life will take you.  We can make all kinds of plans...{we plan, and plan, and plan} and many times, the outcome is nothing like we expected.  

As for me, I have retired from teaching and now working for American 
Airlines.  And I have moved to the Dallas area {Addison,TX} as of July 12th.  This happened so quickly, that I am still doggie-paddeling just to keep afloat.  After months of reflecting, this was the right move for me at this juncture in my life.  I feel extremely blessed to be here and couldn't be happier!

I have NEVER had a place this modern in my life!  I had to scramble to find the first available unit within a 25 mile radius of my new work.  But I managed to find a safe and quiet area to live and make it my own. {If you have any ideas on how to make a modern structure look classic I am open to suggestions} I still want to keep that "French bistro" look.

 Fancy bar! What would you put in that space above the cabinets?

 Fancy kitchen

Moving can be stressful...luckily, for me, it was only a four-hour drive from Houston.  Here are a few things to keep in mind when you feel overwhelmed and when life pulls you in every direction:

~Don't strive for perfection...{we are not perfect beings by any means}...do what you need to do to acclimate to your new life-style...change address, find the grocery store, and slowly explore your new surroundings.

~Don't "freak out"...remind yourself that YOU are in control of you.

~It's okay to say, "no".  That is my biggest fault is trying to please everyone.  It's okay if you don't feel like going to that restaurant tonight.

The cats appear to have warmed up to their new place.

MEOW!
