i like change

Do you ever get that feeling of realizing that you've changed?

People are constantly going through changes in their lives and I think everyone, at least I do, has a moment where they actually realize a significant change from a moment in their lives til the present- and it doesn't even have to be a great time lapse to get those changes.

I'm not talking too in depth about anything in particular, but I was thinking as I was driving home tonight (darkness outside, a misty atmosphere, and being el solo in the car are a perfect setup for think time) about my thoughts on a certain subject (can't remember the exact subject at the moment) and how they've changed from only a few short months ago.

Some might attribute it to growing up or the crowd you hang out with, but whatever the case, I kinda like it.  Crazy changes like moving to a new country might be a little dramatic, but changes in what you think about something are little exhilarating.  Maybe that word's a little too strong, but sometimes people get caught up living life day in/day out without ever exploring or allowing themselves to gain a new perspective on something.  I know I get pretty unsettled with that.  And sometimes your mindset has changed without you ever realizing it was happening until a random moment- like an epiphany (sometimes a really lame small one, but none-the-less...).

Sometimes you only have that angle of thought for a short period of time until you get a new perspective...but the cycle can continue.

Weird how I haven't really been a committed blogger for awhile and I come up with that...

more east coast

More shots of my trip to the East Coast this past August/September.

I've been so busy!  I was frantic trying to find a replacement tenant for my old place before I had to pay October rent.  Yes, I've moved!  But only down the road.

The week prior to this one I was busy with job interviews at a few places; in one instance, I had two interviews for one place.  I ended up taking that one particular job and filled out the paperwork on the very same day that I found a replacement tenant for my old house!

No need to worry about paying rent at two places and finally finding employment so that I'm not nearing the big goose egg in the bank account anymore!  Can you imagine the weight off my shoulders?!

So I started my new job the very next day after I willed out the paperwork and worked evening shifts for the next three days.  Having been off work for a significant period of time, it was a bit of an adjustment being back on my feet all day and having to actually look presentable for a good portion of the day.

I now how the weekend off to attend a friends wedding in Winkler (congrats Janelle & Ryan!) today and be with my family and my guy for Thanksgiving!!  I absolutely love Thanksgiving with all my heart.  I love the food, the pie, the fellowship (of the rings), the fall-ness, and I really love that it's a day that can hold me accountable to be thankful for all that I've been blessed with.  Having had a difficult summer, it was easy to focus on the negative and allow stress to overwhelm me, but I always had things to be thankful for.  Of course I should focus on those blessings more than for one day or weekend, but in reality, it doesn't always happen.  So, one thing I'm thankful for is that there is a day out there specifically created to get my out of my own head.

Now go drink & be merry!

Happy Thanksgiving!
