2013

We have all wondered at some point in our lives if the grass is indeed greener somewhere else. We have times when we want to test that statement out but fear of some kind is usually the factor in holding us back. Fear of leaving what feels familiar to us or maybe even just fear of the unknown.

In just this past year I have lived in six different states. Pride does not follow that statement what so ever. I will tell you that the grass is never greener no matter how down to earth the little town may be or even how grand you think life in the big apple would be like.

We make choices in our lives sometimes for other people that we think at the time would make a difference. We confused the statement of fighting for someone and being naive as two different things when in reality sometimes it should be classified as the same thing.

Or we have thoughts of just wanting to run away. We think life alone in a place would make us happier. The low life, simple life, would humble us and make us happier. When in fact after feeling alone, it is at that moment we want to go back.

I am no stranger to wanting to just change the cards that I have been dealt. I am no stranger to just wanting something different for myself.

But through all those moves and life lessons I have come to realize that happiness is found within. When we are at peace with the life we have, it doesn't matter if we have it all or have nothing, we won’t be happy where we are at until we are indeed happy with where we are at.

My resolution for 2013:
Finally unpack the suitcase that has been packed for to long.
