I miss the “world” I left behind

Hello All,

I miss the “world” I left behind…yet I want to embrace the newness of my destiny. It kind of feels like my first Quarter away at college….I was excited about the future…yet missing the predictable past.

“The only way around is through”.- Robert Frost…A wonderful set of words by such a notable person.

MW and I have been out here in AZ for several weeks now. Far away from the rest of our family…from time to time I really miss jumping into the car to make the short ride to see my mother. To tell the truth I love being with my husband…I am thankful for each moment we have been given to reconnect…I can actually feel our bond growing even closer. At the same time I am a bit homesick…I miss the rest of my family…I miss the Atlanta skyline…I miss knowing where all the best places in town are…lol…I know I sound like a kid going on and on...about how much I miss the “world” I left behind.

I know the future MW and I are preparing for is far greater than anything I have ever experienced…I am just having a moment! Every time I look into MW’s eyes I remember just how right it is for me to be here with him. I am also reminded of how important it is for me to release the past to embrace the newness of my destiny…with the man who loves me and who I love. Life is filled with exchanges…he is safe here with me…and now I am far away from the life I knew.
If you have additional time in your very busy schedule please take a moment to read the beautiful poem by Robert Frost called “The Road Not Taken”.

Wishing You the Best!

It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power.-Alan Cohen
