Most of my life has been spent living in the south. At the age of seven, my family moved from Ohio to South Carolina. After being there for a couple years we moved to North Carolina, which I still refer to as God’s country. I loved living in North Carolina and really enjoy visiting there every once in while to eat real barbeque! Can I get a witness?! Following high school I moved to Florida and spent the next six years working on college degrees. I actually wasn’t to keen on Florida…at least the part in which I lived. Upon completion of my degree, I moved back to Ohio and have been working in this area for the last ten years. As I mentioned before – I really miss the south, but there is one thing about the north that I enjoy. It is not snow – that would make me an idiot! Those people who love snow probably have someone plowing their driveway when it is loaded with very wet snow…the kind that makes you have excruciating back pain and makes you also wish you were dead! I’m not bitter.
Change. I have learned to welcome the change of seasons in this part of the United States. Fall has to be one of my favorites – minus the leaf raking. I find that as each season comes to an end, I am ready for the next one to begin. Come to think of it, our lives are also full of change. One thing comes to an end and we begin a new journey. Instead of resisting change, welcome it with welcome arms. Embrace it as an opportunity to grow. View change as an agent to help you experience new heights in life.
