New home, new province, new relationship, new routine, new job (hopefully soon!). I guess you could say I’m in a season of change. Lately I’ve been alternating between elation and mild depression, depending on the weather and the day. It’s not too bad, it’s actually kind of nice to know I’m going through something hard. Life should shake you up from time to time, I think. Something that helps me in my new house are the pictures I’ve put up of my family. They’re not here and I won’t see them as much as I’d like to, but I have goofy pictures everywhere to remind me that life is silly and I should laugh at it. And that even if I can’t have a weekly family dinner with takeout, hours of chatting and my niece entertaining all of us with her stand-up, my family still exists and still loves me. It’s a nice thing! Even though I’m starting my own family, I need them around…if only in pictures and on the phone. I’ll take what I can get
