In less than 1 month i will be calling Chicago my hometown. Sadly enough this struck me as i was scrolling through Facebook as i saw "Gresham" Oregon as my place of residence. Soon enough i will change that to somewhere very new and foreign to me. The idea of a new start is exciting yet terrifying as i realize what that really means. It is going to take me out of the little orb i know as home and place me in a big city without the comforts of my family or friends.
This move is coming faster than even the stores put up holiday decor after thanksgiving! My mind is swirling with all the scary, exciting and new things that will be headed my way in the upcoming months. As the days count down till moving date on December 9th I want to keep focused on being in the moment. I want to be present in Gresham with everyone i love until that day comes. It's something i need to practice and i hope to carry this concept throughout my life.
I don't want to miss out on the here and now just because i am thinking about the future, and when the it comes i want to be glad i lived in the moment. Im deciding to give up on countdowns, because they don't allow you to be thankful for where you are in the present. It's time for me to love where im at, thank God he hasn't put me somewhere im not ready for, and be excited for where im headed. Im so incredibly nervous to call another place home but im learning that home is whatever you make it, not your zip code.
