Transitions

What I do for a living is to help people through transition. Usually it is work related -- job loss or wanting to change careers or wanting to work independently.

And, now I find myself in the biggest transition of my life -- life transition.

As I sit here, on the 29th of December, reflecting back on this year, I am struck by just how much transition I have had to process this year. And, am still processing...

- from being single to married.
- from living in a great two bedroom apartment on the East Side of New York City to a beautiful home in the Lowcountry of South Carolina. Think Patrick Conroy country.
- from living in the North to living in the area where the Seccessionist movement began.
- from having 5 Starbucks' within a 4 block radius of my apartment to having to drive 35 minutes to find one coffee shop.
- from eating Cheerios for dinner to cooking deer roasts in a slow cooker and baking in the morning.
- from swing dancing in clubs in New York City to riding a horse over dikes in the country.
- from riding the 4,5 and 6 subway trains to get around the city to driving everywhere in the Envoy.
- from preparing for dates on a Friday night to sitting in deer stands with my husband.

What a long, strange trip it's been...
