It's been quite some time since I've blogged. This post is more of a letter to all of you who have been asking about my wellbeing and about how I have been since my big move to my little village of Lancaster, Ont.
I am happy. I can honestly say that I am happy. Although I still struggle with my ups and downs & at moments felt panic settle in, I am all in all happy.
As I drive in to work, I am surrounded by the beauty of the sunrise and picture perfect trees and land. It really is beautiful here and an amazing start to every day.
I drive about 20 minutes to work in the city of Cornwall. There is no traffic and I don't feel the urgency and stress I felt in the city.
My work is definitely challenging but I am surrounded by one of the best teams I have ever encountered. I don't say this lightly..I truly work with a group of girls that know what is required of them and do it gladly. There is a commeradery beyond anything I have ever seen at any other branch. People are genuinely glad for each other's successes and are willing to help each other succeed.
I already feel at home in my office and meeting clients all day long is refreshing. I have met such interesting people!
People. People are so friendly. It baffles me at times, like how friendly the drive thru attendant at Tim Horton's is, every single time. How can I not have a good day after a genuinely friendly hello and an extra large black coffee in hand?
Obviously life is not only pretty scenery and happy people. It does come with some struggles. I have had insomnia for the past week or so (hence the black eyes) - not sure why...but thinking my happy Timmy's may have something to do with it.
I am also struggling with my weight. My medication has definitely ravaged my body and I struggle with how I perceive myself.
The most difficult part about moving has been church. I have yet to find a community that fits. I am confused with denominations and what each entails. I don't like 'church hopping' in search of a home and am finding it very hard to not have community. (Westside, I know you're a skip away..Ill be visiting soon. Please pray 2 things for me... That I find a church and that I remember my worth in God's eyes).
As for the boys...they have adjusted well! I am excited for this cold to pass so we can spend more time outdoors. Their school is awesome and the homework is manageable. (Yay!)
They are glad to have their cousin close and I am happy that they get to grow up together.
Thanks to those who have asked how I have been...thank you for thinking of me and checking in -All in all, overall, I am ok. I'm hanging on to this whirlwind called life and relishing in the beautiful moments it brings me.
Love ya loads.
Cin
